There's nothing as comforting as good, old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs, just like you grew up eating. Now you can recreate that favorite taste in half the time!
What You'll Need
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3/4 cup dry plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce (see Note)
- 1 pound spaghetti
What to Do
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients except pasta sauce and spaghetti; mix well.
- Form mixture into 12 meatballs then brown meatballs in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add pasta sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 30 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink.
- While meatballs finish cooking, cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and serve meatballs and sauce over spaghetti.
Note
If you prefer your spaghetti and meatballs on the saucy side, use two jars of sauce.

THIS IS SUPER EASY AND EVERY TIME I FIX THEM, I WONDER WHY I WAITED FOR A WHOLE WEEK! MY CHILDREN LIKE THEM SO WHAT MORE CAN I SAY. I ALSO MAKE A DOUBLE RECIPE AND MAKE HALF OF THEM SMALLER (ABOUT ONE INCH) AND FREEZE THEM AND TAKE THEM FOR MY LUNCHES PLAIN. RON

Herb Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce 
Instead of cooking ham or prime rib for Easter, why not try something new this year? Our Herb-Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce may look and sound fancy, but it's really easy to do. It's basically a rack of lamb that's coated with herbs and spices before it's roasted to perfection. Just before serving, it's finished off with a mint-wine reduction. The end result is an Easter-worthy main dish that'll impress everyone at the table.
