I Think I Got Suckered

[Hostile]

My wife is ill. In bed, congested, fever, the works.

My daughter said, "Mom said you were making your spaghetti tonight."

I replied, "She hasn't asked me but I can."

My daughter, "She's gonna."

So I go to see my sick bride. The story changed just a widdle bit.

My wife, "I told Kylie we were going to have spaghetti for dinner. She said she likes your spaghetti better than mine."



My mad scientist spaghetti is the bomb, but I think I got played. I did talk the kids into doing the dishes though.

Then you've won 99% of the battle. The worst thing about cooking is the clean up.

 

[Wimbo]

baked spaghetti here tonight. It's one of my top 5.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Looks like Italian night. We had home made Ravioli.

And yeah, you got played. They definitely conspired.

How do you make it?

The cook should never have to do the dishes: It discourages 'em from cooking. Though this should have the 'good cook' rider. Yay Spaghetti!

"Will wash dishes for yummy meals!"

How do you make it?

Okay, for the first time ever, I share my recipe.

1 pound of ground beef
1 half of a small red onion, diced
1 small bell pepper, diced
2 roma tomatoes, diced
Oregano
Parmesan cheese
course ground pepper
sea salt
garlic salt
chili powder
Jar or can of whatever your favorite spaghetti sauce is, I like Newman's Own with mushrooms.

First the noodles. I put about 2 tablespoons of salt in the water to cook them. It keeps them from sticking together and adds a little flavor. I like to break the noodles in half or thirds so they cook all together and evenly. Plus it is easier to eat.

In a large skillet brown the ground beef with the diced onions, peppers, and tomatoes. While still browning I add touches of black pepper, season salt, garlic salt, sea salt, and chili powder to the ground beef. Next is the big secret, I literally cover the top of the beef with Parmesan cheese and stir it into the browning ingredients.

Once the meat is thoroughly cooked drain off the oil and put back in the skillet. Pour the spaghetti sauce on top of it, add a small amount of water to the jar or can to get the remaining sauce out. I like to put the lid back on the jar and shake it up. Pour that in the skillet and stir up the sauce.

Now add another sprinkling of the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and thoroughly stir it in. Sprinkle the top of the sauce with oregano so that it is a light dusting. Let it simmer for 2 minutes then stir it in the sauce too.

I drain the noodles, rinse them in hot water and then pour them right into the sauce and stir it all up thoroughly one more time.

The spices make it killer.

Thanks for sharing! I am definately going to jot that down, and I will try it the next time I'm able to get the ingredients.

lol Yeah they do that. Mine is thirty and still owns me. She cant pull anything over on her Mom but I am a sucker.

Hos, are you using freshly grated Parmesan, or just the stuff you buy pre-grated like Kraft? Seems like fresh grated would be make it nice a gooey.

I've used both. In this case the pre-grated stuff from Costco. I am very liberal with it too. No scrimping.

Don't worry I got played to tonight. My one daughter ask me to get a icy coke for her and I questioned her that it has caffeine in it and she told me no it doesn't. (It was late and I didn't want her to drink caffeine that late). She asked me please and showeed me those big green eyes. When her mother walked in and saw what she was drinking, she immediately asked how she got it. She ratted me out and the look on my wife's face could kill a person. My daughter did tell me she was sorry forgetting me in trouble with her mom. I should have known better but it is hard to resist that smile and those big green eyes looking up at me. Yeah, I am sucker too when it comes to my daughters. I swear that little daughters have some kind of power over fathers that can not be explained.

My youngest can work me like no one else. One time in Church she was acting up and it was time to go outside.

So I take her and she is looking back over my right shoulder as I head outside. She spread her arms wide and yelled "pray for me everybody."

My knees buckled, the whole congregation busted out laughing, and she of course did not get a spanking.
