Rebekah has been fussing me for not putting recipes on this blog she set up for me..well, I could not remember how to get on it. I finally called her today and it too almost 20 mins of her walking me thru it over the phone before I finally "got it". I'm so glad she has a baby cause it has taught her patience, that she can now use with me.
Anyway, I was going thru my freezer and saw I had everything to make a speghetti.I don't make a spaghetti too often cause Danny says he does not like it too much. Of course he always eats it..LOL Rebekah's hubby is kinda like Danny, so I was going to make one so I could eat some and give her some for her frezer so when she wants some, it's already made.
Of course it started off small and ended up a huge pot full. It came out really good and Danny ate 2 plates of it !! I teased him about eating so much of something he does not like too much..I told him I think he even go a little sauce on the ceiling from eating it so fast !!
I took some beef short ribs and seasoned them with black,red & white pepper, garlic powder.
I browned them in some oil over a med. fire.
When they were browned real good, I took them out and added some onions to the pot with a little water and scrap up all the good stuff at the bottom of the pot. Let the water cook out and let the onions brown real good.
When the onions are cooked, add the beef ribs back to the pot and almost cover with water and bake in over at 350 for about 1 1/12 hours.
When they are falling off the bones, take them out of the oven and let cool and take meat off the bones. Save the smothered onions for the spaghette sauce.
Take some cut up pork (boston butt works the best) and some chicken ( I like dark meat ) and season with black,red & white pepper and garlic powder.
Brown the pork first in some oil and them add the chicken.
Let it all brown real good.
When browned, add some onions and let cook for a few mins.
Add some bell peppers
I had some muchrooms so I threw them in too.
Add one can of tomato paste stir it in reall good
You can tell its ready when the tomato paste is sticking real good to the bottom of the pot BUT don't do it on too high of a fire cause it burns real easy.
I added 2 huge jugs of pasta sauce. I usually use one of ragu and one of prego. I don't use the ones with meat.Add a couple of bay leaves and let cook a few mins.
While the sauce is cooking, start on the meatballs. Mix a few pieces of bread, crust removed and tear it up. Mix with yogurt and let sit a few mins. OR us a little milk or butter milk.
In a small food processor or hand chop.Onions,garlic and parsley and parma chesse.
Mix it with some ground beef, eggs,bread crumbs,mashed up bread that was soaked, salt, black,red & white peppers.
Add the cooked beef to the pot and them add the meatballs. Be very careful cause they fall apart very easy. Use a wooden spoon and kinda push them into the sauce.
Cover pot and bake in the oven at 350 for about 1 hour. Use a wooden spoon and stir it very easy. Put back in the oven and cook for about another hour. You can tell when it really cook, the oil will rise to the top.
Use paper towells to take the grease off. It takes several times to do this but its the best way to get the oil off.
It came out realy good. We ate off of it for a few days and I packed the rest to bring to Rebekah this weekend. Phillip said he wanted some too...I guess thats why I cook TOO much at one time, I know somebody is always hungry !!
Well Rebekah, if you like it, now you can cook it yourself !!!
LOVE YA !!!!
