"It's not horrible"....
After 10 years I have learned that this is a compliment from my husband when he is talking about dinner - particularly something new I made. So it went tonight. I made meatballs - not too challenging for sure but I have never made them before. I got the idea from a friend who was making them not too long ago when I dropped my daughter off for a playdate. I am really trying to expand our dinner selections. It was getting really bad there for a while (quesadillas, tacos, spaghetti, breakfast for dinner, etc) Tonight I made the meatballs, served them with rice and corn.
Meatballs
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1 egg white
4 soda crackers, crushed
1 can cream of mushroom soup made according to soup directions on the can
Mix first 3 ingredients together and form into balls.
Cook in skillet until brown. Mix in soup. Cover & let simmer for as long as needed (I did about 2 hrs), stirring occasionally. Put soup in the same skillet you brown the meat in so any meat 'crumbs' will be in the mushroom gravy.
There is just 3 of us so I am sure you need to adjust everything for a bigger family. But it was good and I basically cooked everything about 4 pm and we ate about 6. I used the Uncle Ben's brown and wild rice combo that comes in the orange packet and cooks in 90 second. Brilliant idea! I find that the rice is usually too expensive but I found it at Super Walmart for much less than the grocery.
I am not sure what I will do tomorrow night to top this...

The great thing about meatballs is that they are super easy to make and you can put them in so many different things. I will make a big batch and then make sweet and sour meatballs over rice, meatball grinders, swedish meatballs over mashed potatoes and of course spag and meatballs. :0)
