Menu for January 15^th to January 31^st 2011

On my last menu I had Mexican Meatloaf. You seriously need to make this for dinner!! It was so yummy. I absolutely LOVED the sauce and I'm going to make it in the summer for hamburgers and steak when we BBQ! I found the recipe on my friend, Jeannie's blog and I am so glad she posted this. Thanks Jeannie!!

Meatballs and Gravy served over rice or noodles

I have had this recipe for a few years and have never tried it but it sounded so good to me now that I am going to try it

1 lb ground beef

1/2-3/4 cup parmesan cheese

1/2 small white onion chopped

Salt and pepper

1 can Campbell’s golden mushroom soup

Sour cream for garnish if desired

1 1/2 cups egg noodles or rice.

Place ground beef in mixing bowl. Add parmesan cheese, onion and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with clean hands. Shape into 2 inch size meatballs. Coat the bottom of a 10-12 inch skillet with oil. Place the meatballs in skillet over medium heat. Turn meatballs with spoon to brown on all sides.

Empty soup into bowl and add 1 can of water to soup mix well. Pour soup over meatballs. Turn heat to low and simmer covered about 10-15 minutes.
While meatballs are simmering. Cook noodles or rice according to package directions.

Drain noodles and spoon meatballs and gravy over noodles or the rice. Add a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
* I thickened the gravy with a little corn starch

Depending on size of meatballs can make about 12 meatballs
Serves about 4-6 people
