Back to one of my favorites...pasta and meatballs!
Meatballs : 3 lbs ground beef (I used 80/20 this time. It's fattier than I normally buy, but it comes in a 3 lb package for convenience.) Mix ground beef with 2 eggs and about 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs (you know I didn't measure those breadcrumbs, I just poured them). Shape into 25-30 balls. Drop into a pot filled with sauce, cover and cook on medium for 90-120 minutes. For sauce, I used a big 2 lb 13 oz jar of Prego Fresh Mushroom.
Pasta : 1 lb of penne rigate, cooked according to package instructions. Mixed with the sauce left in the pot after I removed the meatballs.
Broccoli : 2 lbs fresh broccoli, coated with olive oil and garlic powder and roasted. My oven was set to 425, I think it was actually around 475. The broccoli roasted for 10 minutes.
I turned the oven setting down to 395 after that to roast something else, and when it dinged to say it was at 395 I checked the thermometer I have in the oven. It said 450. A new oven is next on our list of big-purchase items. As soon as we make time to go pick one out...
