Tonight we decided on spaghetti and meat balls, which I'll make meatball subs with the left overs tomorrow. I will post some pics tomorrow too. It was yummo..
How I do my meatballs...
I used about 3 pounds of meat
1 egg (whites only) no real reason for that other then too much egg makes the meat tough IMO.
Italian bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese
a dash of garlic
mash it all together
I separate about a cup of the meat mixture to cook in with some sauce.
remember I never measure so I just go by the feel..
I roll them into 2 inch balls because they shrink.
I do fry these but they fry in their own nasty grease.
I know they can be baked and I need to start doing that.
I use spaghetti sauce from the jar. I don't make my own because honestly I love the jar kind. I've used several different kind and they all turn out good. I let the balls fry for about 10 minutes and then drain that grease, I then pour about 2 cups of sauce over the top and cover for another 20 or 30 min on med heat. While they are cooking I boil my noodles and fry up the rest of the meat. Drain the noodles pour the sauce over them and mix in the cooked hamburger meat.
I keep the meatballs separate and just add those on top, but it makes it easier to make the meatball subs the next night.
toasted Hoggie buns
meatballs
mozzarella cheese = great left overs.
Keeli's blood sugar 2 hours after spaghetti and meatballs, side salad and garlic knot roll was 175.. Damn noodles...
