Thursday nights are tough for me. I usually have nothing left to give energy-wise and am often cooking 6 nights in a row. I have a hard time not ordering take out or *gasp* driving through some slop shop just to keep my sanity. With our upcoming nuptials and a weekend ahead of travel and cake tasting, I knew I had to push through and make something. This recipe has been hanging around for me to cook for a while, so with heavy support from my fiance I launched into making the meatballs.
My fiance started off by sauteeing an onion in some butter. After about ten minutes of cooking time I started to combine half of the onions with a few cups of ground beef, two egg yolks and salt and pepper. I formed meatballs and fried them in more butter. These meatballs really stayed together and developed a nice color.
Because I was having a sentimental craving, I whipped up some Quick Tomato Sauce and my BFF added a box of spaghetti to round out the meal. After the meatballs were cooked through, I topped the meatballs with the remaining sauteed onion and slathered the spaghetti with some sauce. It was a hearty, filling meal and the meatballs were so easy that they didn't even feel Spoon-worthy. The total cooking time was less than 15 minutes. It was just about all I could handle on a Thursday, especially after the cooking storm that was Wednesday. The Silver Spoon even has recipes for Thursday nights, what a versatile book. Coming up, more deliciousness, I assure you. What do you guys make for yourself when you are feeling especially tired? I want to add some quick recipes to my fiance's repertoire!
