Add meatballs and stir to combine. Stir marinara sauce, tomatoes, water, andrice together in a 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until the rice is tender. During the final 5 minutes of cooking, remove dish from oven, uncover, and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan
This mixture is quick, easy and so good it can even be eaten on it's own. I don't know about you but I always have cooked brownrice in my fridge, it makes whipping up meals like this a snap throughout the week
