I made this for my family last wk... I doubled the recipe, also cut ALL meatballs in half, but instead of the white sauce, I used 1 jar roasted garlic parmesan sauce & 1 jar alfredo sauce, 2c cheddar, 1c colby jack, & 1c mozzerella. Then I crushed a bag of garlic croutons, mixed w/ the melted butter, & WALLAHH!! This dish was Gone in no time, not even a scrap left!! Im really pleased with the changes I made, & obviously, the ppl I served it to Aree!!

I made this for dinner tonight! I really liked it. Added 2 cups cheddar and 1 cup mozzarella. Not a big fan of meatballs though. Might try it with sliced chicken apple sausage next time
