  • mine is super easy since my kids dont like fancy stuff

    Brown up together:
    1lbs of hamburg
    1lb of bulk italian sausage ( I prefer hot )

    While meat is cooking....cook up a pound of elbow macaroni

    When meat is done & very brown add 5 cans of hunts basil, oregano & garlic tomato sauce & 5 cans of water....bring to a boil & add cooked macaroni and remove from heat and let it set for about an hour.

    My mom adds peppers & onions to the meat & when I make it for the firehouse I had a little bit of jalopeno peppers.

  • Yum Cleo- and Yum Kris!!! (i would add some cheese to the goulosh, DH is a freggin' cheesefene.) :)
  • We have quiche all the time--6 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 2 pie shells, cheese, and whatever you want in it. We do turkey bacon, peppers, spinach most of the time.

    meatloaf--usually just 1 lb beef or turkey, 1/3-1/2 jar salsa, 1 egg, about 3 slices of bread, broken into pieces. I mix it all up, pour some ketchup on top, and we cook it in a muffin tin to make mini ones (so they cook quickly). 

     

  • Ooo GHM-- Salsa in the meatloaf? That sounds yummy, I'll have to try that.

    We cook our meatloaf in the microwave-it's always juicy and taste great (takes 15min.) :)
