Dump and Bake Meatball Casserole

Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken and flavors to meld together beautifully.

Pro Tips for the Best Dump and Bake Meatball Casserole
Use high-quality marinara sauce – A good sauce enhances the overall flavor of the dish. Try a garlic-infused or herb-based marinara for extra depth.
Don’t skip the cover while baking – This helps the pasta cook properly without drying out.
Want extra veggies? Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for a nutritional boost.
Spice it up! For a little heat, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Use fresh herbs – A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley before serving adds a burst of freshness.

Serving Suggestions
This hearty casserole pairs perfectly with:
A fresh garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette for balance.
Garlic bread or breadsticks to soak up the extra sauce.
A glass of red wine (like Chianti or Merlot) for an elevated dining experience.
