Tips for the meatball casserole recipe

This cheesy meatball casserole is a fast and easy dinner option that’s 100% sure to please the whole family! Here are a few tips for tweaking it to your taste.

  • You can also mix 1 lb (450g) ground beef and 1 lb (450g) spicy pork sausage instead of using ground turkey.
  •  We use a high-quality store-bought marinara sauce for this meatball casserole recipe, feel free to use whatever variety of sauce you prefer. 
  • This meatball casserole recipe is adaptable to a Crockpot. Follow the recipe instructions but instead of layering them into a baking dish, simply layer the meatballs into a slow cooker instead. Cook on low for 6 hours.

How and how long to keep the meatball casserole leftovers?

Store any meatball leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you wish to freeze the cooked meatballs, keep them in a freezer-safe storage bag or container and keep them frozen for up to 3 months. Allow thawing in your refrigerator overnight before reheating the meatballs in the oven.

    Haven't made these, was thinking of taking out the shredded mozz cheese and stuffing them with a cube of mozz cheese instead...

    So good ! I used ground chicken , left out the red pepper and cayenne. My family doesn’t like spicy . I also used the whole jar of marinara sauce.

    These turned out great! 2# of ground turkey is a lot. I was in a pinch for dinner and I only had a 12oz package and it made 15 meatballs. Definitely will make this again! Great flavor and super easy. Thank you!

    They are a family favorite. Kids make them into meatball subs, i eat with a salad. Have made them at least 4 times.

    I used 1lb Italian sausage and 1 lb turkey and halved the cayenne and red pepper flakes and they had amazing flavor. This is also a relatively quick meal to pull together for a week night. The only issue I had was the size of the meatballs. I used a “small cookie scoop” as directed and had a ton of them. They didn’t even fit crammed into a 11x13 pan. Clearly your scoop is larger. This also threw off the nutrition numbers bc I had no idea what a serving size should be. I’ll definitely make again, but larger :)

    Did the recipe as stated, used a cast iron skillet to brown the meatballs first then added the marinara sauce and mozza cheese on top, put the skillet in oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Delicious!

    An excellent quick family recipe. My kids, age 5 and 3, loved it! It is easy to make and absolutely delicious. They helped prep everything too!

    I made this tonight as per recipe apart from I cooked some onion and added it to the turkey before making the meatballs. I have made lots of meatballs in the past but have always found they lacked flavor. These were delicious and will definitely be added to my meal rotation. I served with stir fried garlic green beans and brussel sprouts and the whole family loved.
