Ingredients
- 1 French loaf (16 ounces) bread (cut into 1 inch slices)
- Butter (or margarine)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pound frozen meatballs (fully cooked, thawed Italian meatballs, they are often sold in 2 pound bags, so use only half a bag)
