By now, everybody knows Wednesday's are, "Lets clean out the crispers, freezers and rotate the pantries day!" here in the O'Brien Shire. My students love it since there are literally no rules and they can create anything their little hearts desire.

Like most kids, they all agreed upon Spaghetti & Meatballs. Since this week's lesson plan is all about cooking with cast iron and Dutch ovens, they decided to employ both. This was their delectable result!

Serve over linguini noodles with thick garlic bread slices for dipping. Or, alone with a garden salad with an Italian dressing to the side.

Once again, excelent work kiddos!

Steps

60 Minutes

1

Chop vegetables and mix everything together. Pour everything into a cast iron skillet. Top mixture with additional shreadded Mozzarella and Parmesan Ramono Cheese.
2

Bake at 350° uncovered for 50 minutes. Do not stir or open oven while baking.
3

This is a fantastic brand of juicy precooked Italian meatballs.
4

In the meantime, boil your noodle water and add a splash of oil and 1/2 tbsp salt to it. Boil noodles as per manufacturers directions. Ten minutes for this specific brand.
5

Pull skillet from oven and let rest for five minutes. Leave oven on but at 325° to bake your garlic bread slices.
6

Consider making a chilly Zesty Italian Salad as a side dish.
7

Thick slice your French bread [1"+] and coat with garlic butter. Place on a lined cookie sheet and bake for five minutes or until your bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You'll want your garlic bread to be golden brown.
8

Use a pre-fabed garlic butter or create your own. See my recipe for Mike's Easy Garlic Butter Spread if interested.
9

Meatball sandwichs with toasted garlic buns are also a delicious option. If so, slices of Provolone Cheese as a sandwich base works great.
10

Serve dish with a quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy!
