Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 3 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups canned reduced-sodium beef broth
  • grape or current jelly, cooked egg noodles, chopped parsley, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, panko, 1/2 cup milk, eggs, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and allspice. Mix just until combined.
  2. Using a rounded 1-tablespoon measure for each, form mixture into meatballs (you should have about 48). Place meatballs onto two rimmed baking sheets; bake until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.
  3. Meanwhile, make sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high. Add flour; cook, whisking, 1 minute (do not let darken). Gradually whisk in remaining cup milk and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until sauce has slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, add meatballs to bowl with sauce; gently toss to combine. Serve as an appetizer, on toothpicks, with jelly on the side; or as a main, over noodles, garnished with parsley, with jelly on the side.

Quick Notes

Helpful Hint To Freeze: Divide meatballs and sauce among airtight containers; freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator (or place containers under cold running water to release frozen blocks). Reheat, thinning sauce with water if necessary.

Cooking time (duration): 40

This is a unique dish that will be a big hit with kids of all ages.

SausageStuffedShells_BakingDish_600Ingredients

Pasta:

  • 1 1/2 boxes (about 20 oz.)
  • Jumbo/Super Shells Macaroni
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. oil

Cheese Mix:

  • 4 lbs cottage cheese (low fat or non-fat)
  • 3 lbs white cheese (I use half mozzarella and half Colby Jack)
  • 5 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. oregano, dried
  • 1 Tbsp. basil, dried
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley, dried

Sauce Topping:

  • 4 bottles spaghetti sauce
  • 2 lbs. Italian flavor sausage

Instructions

  1. Pasta:
    Bring 8 qts water and salt to boil. Add shells and cook about 14 minutes. Add oil during boil to prevent shells from sticking. Drain and rinse in cold water. Pat dry.
  2. Cheese Mix:
    Cut most (2 1/2 lbs) of the cheese into small, 1/2 inch cubes. Grate the remainder and put aside. Mix all of the cheese mixture together (except for the cheese you grated–this will go on top when it’s all done.)
  3. Sauce Topping:
    Brown sausage in oiled skillet. Drain. Combine with spaghetti sauce.
  4. Now to assemble all together:
    Spray casserole dish with Pam. Spoon cheese mixture into pasta shells, (about 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp. mixture per shell) and line up in dish. Cover filled dish with Sauce Topping. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Bake five pans at 350 for one hour. (When I’m heating just one dish, I bake at 350 for only 30 minutes but it takes much longer with a full oven).
  5. Side Note: It’s hard to judge how full to fill the shells, and I usually run out of either cheese mixture or shells. Sometimes I whip up extra cheese mixture to fill extra shells, sometimes I just have extra pasta shells that don’t get filled. I tried to adjust the recipe so that there aren’t leftover shells, but it’s hard to know.
