This afternoon I was in the mood for cooking. I decided to make something that I had not made before; meatballs. I found a recipe in a Company’s Coming Casseroles cook book by Jean Pare page 75. I modified the recipe greatly. Here is my version.
Meat Balls
1 lb lean ground beef
1-11/2 cubes of cheese bread (any bread will do)
¼ cup water
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
Tomato soup 10 oz
Horseradish 1 tsp
Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp
1 egg
1 stalk green onion cut into small pieces
¼ cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl combine the beef bread cubes, water, onion, salt, pepper, and eggs. Knead until well mixed. Make balls and place in a heated frying pan. Brown. Place in a casserole dish.
In a bowl combine the tomato soup, horseradish, worse shire sauce and ¼ cup of water. Mix well. Place over the meatballs. Bake for about 35 minutes.
I decided to serve the meatballs with spaghetti and garlic bread.
Here is my own spaghetti sauce recipe.
Spaghetti Sauce
½ lbs lean ground beef
1 medium sized onion
1 medium sized tomato
1 red pepper
1 stalk of celery
2 handfuls of fresh spinach
Several shakes of salt
Several shakes of pepper
A few shakes of: garlic powder
A few shakes of: basil
A few shakes of: parsley
A few shakes of: red pepper flakes
A few shakes of oregano
Your favorite spaghetti sauce ( I use Classico Vodka Pasta Sauce) 700 ml
In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef. Add the onion. Add all the herbs and spices. While these are cooking prepare the vegetables (chop to desired size). Gradually add to your frying pan. Let the vegetables cook as long as possible 10 minutes min, 15-20 minutes preferred. Add your favorite spaghetti sauce. Bring to a boil. Boil for several minutes. Simmer (if needed).
Serve with your favorite spaghetti noodles.
Simple Garlic Bread
Cheese bread
Garlic Powder
Olive Oil Margarine
Grated cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place desired amount of cheese bread on a cookie sheet. Spread desired amount of margarine over the bread. Sprinkle garlic powder over. Place a small-scant amount of cheddar cheese on top of each piece of bread. Bake in the over for about 6 minutes.
Below are a few images of the dinner.
Enjoy.
