Baked Spaghetti & Egg

Well we have moved all our stuff in, now just a matter of cleaning and figuring out where to put everything.  Not an easy task at all.

The simplest menu of late has been spaghetti and sauce, quick, easy but it does leave a lot of left overs especially if you have the same thing a few days in a row.  So here was a quick fix to that problem, baked spaghetti & egg.  Mix it all together add an egg for a little more protein and voilà another quick dinner and only one pan to clean up.

Directions

Take enough left over spaghetti and sauce to feed the number of people you are serving, and mix in a bowl.  Place the mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle a little Parmesan over the top cover with foil, and bake at 350° for about 30-45 minutes until hot.  When heated using a spoon create slight indentations in the spaghetti and crack an egg per person into the well.  Leaving the foil off bake in the upper third of the oven for up to 15 minutes until the eggs set and cooked to your liking.

Meatloaf

While still on the quest to find affordable housing, we are definitely using up every thing in the freezer and pantry.  So here’s a meatloaf recipe to add a little flavor to a simple dish.  For years we had a recipe for meatloaf that used wheat germ in it.  It was tasty but had a number of after effects, so I’ve worked a different version that’s a little less unbinding.

This one like many recipes is not written in stone.  I probably would have added onions, that had been sautéed, if we had them.  The amounts of ingredients are also subject to interpretation, the bread crumbs could vary quite a bit, it’s really all about cooking by “eye”.  You could also vary the meat by adding ground pork or veal into the mix.  Feel free to experiment.

Ingredients for Meatloaf

  1. 2 #’s ground beef fairly lean
  2. 2 eggs
  3. ¼ cup whole milk
  4. 1 Tbs garlic salt
  5. 1 Tbs pepper
  6. 3 -4  Tbs Worcestershire sauce
  7. ½ cup ketchup
  8. 3 – 6+ cups Italian style Panko bread crumbs
  9. ¼ – ½ cup BBQ Sauce

Directions for Meatloaf

Mix the beef, eggs, milk, salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup thoroughly.  Begin to add the Panko bread crumbs and combine, continue until you have slightly moist not wet mixture that holds together well.

Place into a loaf pan and press to even out.  Pour a layer of BBQ sauce about ¼ of an  inch thick over the top.  Bake for 50 – 60 minutes in a 350° oven.  When done remove from oven and let sit to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Be adventurous try adding finely diced carrots, or diced green chilies, celery, diced pepper of any color, sautéed onions the list goes on.
