For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a thin layer of pesto to the bread before spreading the cream cheese mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the ground beef. If you don't have Italian bread, a French baguette works well too. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture or the sauce.
