In addition to my homemade meatballs, I cooked up another quick and easy way to use ground beef. I totally forgot to buy bakeware to make the meatloaf but the stovetop is a great way to get the job done. The trick to making this work is keeping the heat low, so you don’t burn the bottom of your meatloaf. Also, using a good frying pan makes this yummy passtime an easy A.
Now that Lent is over, we can eat meat on Fridays! My favorite kind of meat to work with is ground beef. There are so many possibilities because ground beef is “formable”. You can mold it into all kinds of shapes and call it different things. If you can master this meatball recipe, then say goodbye to the frozen pre-made ones that taste processed.
I tend to base my recipes around pastas–firstly, because pasta is easy to make. Secondly, it can serve lots of people (like if you are inviting some people over for dinner). Lastly, because pasta is filling! I am currently counting calories, so pasta is tricky. I switched over to whole grain pasta which is just as tasty. This chicken parm recipe is quick and easy as it is yummy and satisfying.
Ingredients
1 package of boneless chicken breast
1 package whole grain rotini
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
