Our internet and landline are still not repaired and we're having to be careful with our hotspot usage as it has a limited amount of data.
I wanted to hop on today briefly though and share a meal we had from our pantry recently ...
Pizza Meatball Casserole
I took these meatballs from the freezer, thawed them and laid them out in a 9 x 13 casserole dish ...
Then, from the freezer again, I took out a package of pepperoni pieces and laid one on top of each meatball ...
I opened up a #10 can of pizza sauce.
Of course, I didn't use the whole can in this dish so I'll be re-canning the rest along with another #10 can of pizza sauce later ...
I spooned pizza sauce over each meatball/pepperoni ...
Then sprinkled cheese over it. The recipe called for shredded mozzarella but the easiest thing I could get my hands on in the freezer was crumbled white cheddar. It worked fine ...
I baked it at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. This of course is going to depend on how big your meatballs are.
To go with it, I microwaved these 3 ears of corn in the shucks.
We removed the shucks, buttered and sprinkled them with some home-made seasoned salt.
Yum!
Until the next post,

ReplyDeleteLana, it was!
DeleteBesides being vegetarian, i’m not a huge pasta fan. So, this would be excellent vegetarian(ized)! I was fixing spaghetti for my husband tonight. This will be used for leftovers! Thanks, so much!
ReplyDeleteUnknown, this could be made into a vegetarian dish ... good idea!
DeleteOK, now I'm hungry!
ReplyDeleteLori, we enjoyed it very much!
DeleteThis looks so good! I guess you could add some veggies...sliced mushrooms, onions, black olives are some of our favorite pizza toppings. It would be perfect for my diabetic husband.
ReplyDeleteJenny, you could easily add any of those toppings and yes it is a good dish for diabetics.
DeleteI am going to try this. It looks tasty.
ReplyDeletepeaceful heart open mind, we enjoy this dish very much!
DeleteHi Patsi. You have so much valuable information on your site, I look forward to each new post, and go back to read some old ones when there isn't a new one. I read your squash casserole post today and have a question about squash. In the past two weeks I've bought squash from the same farmer's market twice. The first time it was really good the second time it was very bitter. Is there a way to know before buying it if a squash is going to be bitter? It is so disappointing after spending money on the ingredients and running the oven to end up with a casserole that is not pleasing to the taste buds. It has nothing to do with your recipe. I made the casserole a couple days before I read that blog post. I am just hoping you have an answer. ~ Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I'm sorry you went to all the work of making a squash casserole only to find out that the squash was bitter. A couple of things that could indicate a bitter squash would be the size, if they're large to extra-large they can have a tendency to get bitter, not always but it has been my experience that it does affect the taste. The other could be weather conditions and unless you were growing it yourself there really would be no way to know that the weather had affected them. Another possibility could be that they had been sprayed with some kind of pesticide within a few days of harvesting. I hope this helps.
DeleteThank you for taking time to answer. I appreciate that! I always try to buy the smaller ones because somewhere in the past I had heard that bigger squash are not good but wasn't given a reason why. Could be the weather which has been rather strange this year. I enjoy yellow squash so much and just hate that it is always hit or miss.
