Dump and Bake Meatball Casserole

  1. Preheat Oven & Combine Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large, high-sided oven-proof pot or skillet (like a Dutch oven or a large cast-iron skillet), combine the 1 bag of defrosted frozen meatballs, the 1 jar of marinara or spaghetti sauce, 3 cups of water, 1 box of bowtie pasta, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir everything together until the pasta is fully submerged in the liquid.
  2. First Bake: Cover the pot or skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Place the pot in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. This allows the pasta to cook and absorb the liquid.
  3. Add Cheese & Finish Baking:
