Thread: just wanted to share tonight's dinner with you guys..

...Must be meatball weekend !

Nothing wrong with meatballs! I can eat them plain, with just Italian red sauce, BBQ sauce or with pasta etc. And it's the same meatball recipe.

Years ago I was watching a Travel Food Show and they were in Taiwan and this guy had made meatballs and didn't use a grinder it was all hand cut and minced. Anyway the spices were mixed in and the balls were made and then he divided the balls. 1/2 were Chowed (pan fried) and the others were poached. However they both went into the same dish. One of those ying and yang things I guess as they would have entirely different textures.

The words that only those of us of a certain age will remember

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing"




Someday the wife and I will learn to "Cook Small" but for now, we have a Big Freezer hehehe

Wow Glen, that meal looked divine man!
For the Braciole, was the beef precooked before you made the rolls? Couldn't tell.
Then once all browned up, everything added to the sauce to thicken. Awesome.

Call Trump, gonna be an illegal visit from the north next time you serve that sir....

Rolled in the raw Mike then browned, and finally fully cooked all day in the Sauce

Only thing you have to make sure of is to let the meat go back to room temp BEFORE putting them in the sauce, or they can get chewy

The meatball go into the sauce no more then 1 hour before serving or they can get mushy and fall apart

Just had a leftover Sausage Grinder Sammy

You need 2 eggs per pound of meat and bread crumbs and parm cheese to keep those meat ball together......mine stay in sauce for 6 hours in the crock pot on low....Nice and firm . I make mine with 85% burger and ground Pork.

Pretty standard fare for Thanksgiving in the U. S. The turkey was bought already smoked. Happy Thanksgiving, gents.
