Welcome to this week’s Publix Meal Deal. As a reminder, each week I will share a tasty recipe that you can make at a great price with the deals available at Publix.

I have mentioned before that my guys are huge meatball addicts, so when I saw the BOGO sale on Publix Meatballs, I knew that I’d have to include them in my recipe this week.

I probably have a couple dozen recipes using meatballs and almost couldn’t decide which one to go with. I decided to share one that is crazy simple but big on flavor. Plus, it’s such a fun presentation it would be a great meal to serve to guests.

You can bake the bread ahead of time so and then dinner will be on the table in just minutes. Grab the following ingredients and serve this meal up for under $3 per serving. Be sure to check the ad for matching coupons that offer additional savings.
