Meatball Sub Recipe

So....boring title....but AMAZING sandwich:

Rachel Ray's Meatball Sub

The picture is not nearly as appetizing as it is in real life.  Toast some tasty sub rolls with some provolone or mozzarella and load that bad boy up. 

Plus its a great way to get some stretch from your ground beef since there is so much egg, breadcrumb, and onion in the meatballs themselves. 

Please try it.....you seriously will love it.

OH!! 
And the 5 minute marinara sauce...you can't beat that stuff...once you get it just right for your tastes....you will put it on everything.

Easy Amazingness

super lame that one of my only posts this month is going to be about food.......

So, I was working from home taking care of my sick dog (who decided to get pancreantitis....long story).  I noticed I had some pasta sauce and ground beef leftovers in the fridge and some broken lasagna noodles that weren't enough for real lasagna........an amazing thing was born!!

I mixed up the sauce, ground beef, and threw in some frozen spinach to make myself feel good

Boiled the noodles to al dente

Grated some sharp cheddar cheese

Layered all that goodness in up in a bowl

Seriously....I could eat this everyday.  You should try it....seriously.

Monday Night Dinner

Cheesburger Soup

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground beef
4 C. diced potatoes
3/4 C. diced celery
3 C. chicken broth
3/4 C. shredded carrots
1, 8oz package of Velveeta cheese, (use what you feel neccesary)
3/4 C. chopped onion
1 tsp. parsley & basil
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Directions:
Brown ground beef and set aside. Saute celery, carrots, and onions in 1tsp. butter until softened. Add ground beef, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, potatoes and broth. Cook on medium heat until potatoes are soft. Add cheese until melted.

Tip: I often put the potatoes in a micro-wave safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and cook them for about 5 minutes (or until soft) and then add them to the soup. This will cut your cooking time down dramatically.
