Spaghetti

This is the spaghetti I grew up on.  Now I usually leave out the meat because it is easier, but I made it this way the other night and it was a hit.

Spaghetti
1 LB spaghetti noodles (ronzoni – wheat free)
1 LB hamburger
1 1/2 jar spaghetti sauce

Cook spaghetti, drain.  Brown and season meat, drain.  Add spaghetti sauce to the meat, stir.  Serve sauce over noodles.

Tater Tot Casserole

I love tater tots!  This casserole uses a whole bag, how can you lose?

1 bag tater tots

Brown and season the hamburger, drain.  Mix together hamburger, soup, and beans in the 9x13" pan.  Top with tater tots.  Bake at 400° for 1 hour.

Cheese Ravioli & Meatballs

If you are looking for an easy and delicious meal, this is it.  You just have to assemble.

Place ravioli in a 9x13" pan, scatter meatballs.  Cover with spaghetti sauce.  Freeze for later or cover with foil and bake at 400° for 45-60 minutes.

Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

I made these the other day and forgot about my really good recipe for Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes, so I am going to write up my good recipe and not the one that I actually used for this picture.

Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

2.5 LB red skin potatoes, cut into 1.5" cubes
3 garlic cloves - minced

2 T butter - melted (earth balance buttery stick - milk free)

1/2 cup milk (almond milk - milk free)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (omit for milk free)

Place potatoes and garlic in large pot and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.  Drain and mash potatoes.  Heat butter, milk, and salt in the microwave and pour over potatoes.  Stir in parmesan cheese.
