Homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:11:53 -0400

This recipe is my families favorite because it's very simple to make and tastes wonderful. Tip: If your children dislike green peppers and onions you can always chop them in your food processor and they won't even know they are in there, works like a charm :0) -- posted by Rae-Rae Payne

Queen Puff's Lasagna

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:22:44 -0400

This is a simple lasagna recipe with great flavor. Just add a salad and garlic bread and you're all set. I used to fix this with just ground beef but tried it with the Italian sausage (sweet) and liked it even better. Or, you can just use the Italian sausage. Almost as good with fat-free ingredients so give it a try too. It's good either way. If there is any left, you can freeze individual squares for the perfect quick lunch another day. -- posted by Queen Puff

American Goulash

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:09:16 -0400

Growing up in Boston, I never knew that this 50's "once-a-week-at-home dinner" and "once-a-week-at-school lunch" was a regional dish! I still make this probably once every 2 weeks. Easy, cheap and comfort food all rolled into one huge pot! (It is always called American Chop Suey here, but while I was living in LA friends called it Goulash - so I've compromised!) -- posted by davianng

Recipe to try found in a pasta recipe book. It was ok, Next time we might a can of manwich instead of the dry envelope. *Note* No matter what way I type it out, Zaar consistently adds Manwich in front of Sloppy Joe Seasoning, this recipe calls for a DRY seasoning envelope, don't think Manwich makes those. -- posted by ~*Kisha*~

Meatball Pasta Bake

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:20:28 -0400

This is a comforting dish to serve to the family and can be made in advance ready to reheat the next day. Both the meatballs and the sauce can be made in advance and chilled in the fridge until ready to assemble and cook. Or the whole dish can be made and frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating thoroughly. -- posted by English_Rose

Healthier $#%& Beef Stroganoff

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:19:21 -0400

I love Stroganoff but it's so fattening. I took Bri22's fantastic recipe and tried to keep the flavour while making it a bit better for you. I love it and my guinea pigs (guests) were asking for seconds. Note: I always sauté with olive oil but you could use butter too. I also put extra sour cream on the table for anyone who likes theirs creamier. -- posted by Chef #1209227

Family Favorite Beef Goulash (No Tomato)

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:01:18 -0400

This is what my French Canadian Mom used to call Goulash, no tomato, just lots of beef & veggies in a beef gravy base. My Mom always served it with elbow macaroni, but I like to use egg noodles. Its a simple recipe, but everyone I've ever made this for just loves it! -- posted by bakedapple42

Three-Cheese Jumbo Shells

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:05:53 -0400

This is a Taste of Home recipe that I found in their ground beef cookbook. I love that it features a super simple tomato-beef sauce. I hate the taste of commercially prepared spaghetti sauce. It is simple enough to throw together during the week, and special enough to be featured as part of a holiday meal or for guests. I haven't tried it yet but I would imagine this would be a good recipe to make ahead and then freeze, or refrigerate overnight and bake after it is thawed if you are short on time. -- posted by Megan V

Noodle Hot Dish for a Crowd

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 13:46:03 -0400

Got this recipe from a friend. Ran out of ideas for a potluck dish and this one was a winner. Was hoping to bring leftovers home for my lunch the next day but no such luck it was gone in a minute.One nice thing about this recipe is you can adjust the amount of egg noodles to your liking. -- posted by Catnip46

Cincinnati Chili

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:27:50 -0400

A homemade variation on Skyline or Goldstar, the two most predominant brands of Cincinnati-style chili. There are multiple ways to enjoy this meaty, sweet/spicy chili and all of them are delicious. This recipe makes a lot of chili, but it is easy to freeze the leftovers for future meals. -- posted by ChefJulieS

Felix's Lasagna

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:49:51 -0400

I started with a recipe a friend gave me ages ago and adapted it to what I had and what I felt like eating. You could add some onions or garlic to the meat mixture if you felt like it, or use something other than mushrooms (or leave out that part entirely) if you don't want them. Whatever flavour or brand of spaghetti sauce is your favourite will work, as long as it's not one of the ones with meat. Excellent served with garlic or other crusty bread and a green salad. What I'm calling prep time is stove-top cooking time, and cooking time is time in the oven plus sitting time. -- posted by Felix4067

My Standard Lasagna

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:06:19 -0400

This is my basic easy lasagna. I either use homemade sauce or a really good quality store bought brand. There are four types of cheese in this recipe. If you like things spicy, by all means add a bit of crushed red pepper to the sauce or use spicy sausage. If I am adding sausage, I prefer to use mild turkey sausage in this, but it tastes really good with just ground beef too. -- posted by HeatherFeather

From Taste of Home Aug/Sept 2006. "This is a wonderful casserole for a potluck. Whenever I make it, people enjoy it, especially the men." Made for dinner tonight. It is delicious. I think the rosemary should be decreased because it is a little overpowering for my taste. And as always, you can always use more cheese if ya want! I don't believe this would freeze well, but if you try, let me know how it turns out! -- posted by Chef Skie

I adapted this recipe from traditional stuffed shells recipes because my DH and I do not like ricotta cheese.

Freezes well also. -- posted by NICU Nurse Dee

A great dish to make if you are having lots of company or to take to a potluck. Add whatever you think you would like. I have made this in a large chafing dish and served it at a birthday party. You can also make this in a large foil or hotel tray. OR scale it down to have just with your family. I always use low fat ingredients, but this works with full fat products as well. Serve with crusty rolls and salad. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

This is a really great sratch recipe for spagetti or pizza sauce to make ahead of time I put it in the crock pot on low to simmer. If you look at the label of most spagetti sauce you buy in a store the second or third ingredient is corn syrup. After this we don't ever buy red sauce. I make this in large batches frequently and it freezes very well. -- posted by victoriansweets_cakencandy

An easy, economical and tasty meal. My mother would make this for our family of 12 quite often and we always looked forward to it. I always add more tarragon. In place of the cheddar cheese, I melt Velveeta on top. Quick, easy and delicious. Enjoy! -- posted by Penelope P

A Better Marzetti

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:25:23 -0500

Had never heard of Johnny Marzetti until recently stumbling on his recipe in some newspaper website. Actually, research shows Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was the source of this great comfort food dish back in the 20's (..is it still there?). Have seen ingredients of several versions of this dish here, but none with all these great ingredients. This is an ultimate comfort food that is even better at the second and third sitting. I think that the sausage and Italian cheese blend is key to success of this rendition. Dish is great with a nice green salad. -- posted by ebbtide

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79
