Meatballs with a Tasty Onion Garnish

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!
