For the most part of the morning, I did a little reading, some light cleaning, and lots of blogging-photography related research. Before I know it, it's about 3:00 and time to start cooking for my Tay.
It was a big undertaking and apparently, I should not be left alone in the kitchen. Because this is the result after 2 hours of prepping, cutting, and cooking.
But the end result is worth it. About two hours of cooking for 4+ meals for the Tater and I.
The recipe came from my father-in-law; who is an amazing cook. Seriously. When I first started making this (right after Tay and I married) I had the father-in-law on speed dial and he knew exactly what I needed every time I called him. Now, I don't have to call and ask him anymore, I have finally committed the recipe to memory.
What you'll need:
-At least 6 medium size serving tins
-1 box of bowtie noodles
-1 box of elbow noodels
- 1/2 box of penne noodles
(I love bowtie and elbow and use more of them, but if you prefer penne, then by all means use more!)
-1 pound hamburger meat
-1 pound italian sausage
-1 package of pepperoni
-1 onion finely chopped
-1 bell pepper finely chopped
-1 can any pasta sauce - we use Ragu Roasted Garlic
-Minced garlic
-Bag of shredded Mozzarella
-Bag of Colby-Jack
Now for the cooking:
Brown and drain hamburger meat. (Save a little fat)
Brown and drain sausage.
Chop up onions and bellpepper and garlic.
Saute onions and bellpepper and garlic in meat fat.
Dump meats and peppers into a big ass pot, seriously.
Add half of spaghetti sauce.
Boil and cook noodles - directions on packages folks!
Dump noodles into big ass pot.
Cut up pepperoni and add to pot. I love them. Some don't, add as many as you like.
Stir it all together.
Add mozzarella - a lot.
Stir some more.
Divy up into separate tins. I always make 6 tins. We freeze two, and put four in the fridge.
Happy cooking! And hopefully your kitchen won't end up looking like mine did!
