Step:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine onions, bell peppers, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

  3. Add beef and mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place on a rack on a shallow baking sheet with sides. ( I use cookie sheet )

  4. Bake at 400°F until no longer pink in the middle. Usually 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Reduce oven to 350°F.

  6. In a 9x13 ungreased baking dish, arrange the bread slices in a single layer.

  7. Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and black pepper.

  8. Spread evenly over bread slices and top with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese . I like using both mozzarella and parmesan cheese together.

  12. If your in a hurry, you can also use the frozen meatballs, thawed to save time. I like using marinara sauce also in place of spaghetti sauce. Good either way.
