Italian Ground Beef Dinner

“I loved this one inez, you are fast becoming my favorite recipe poster. I have never been able to make a good spaghetti and meat ball dish and I have tried many times but this one turned out great. I didnt change a thing. Thanks.”

“good flavor and quick and easy to make “

“My husband and I loved this recipe. We used wheat pasta and it gave it a nice taste.I also added just a sprinkle of sugar to ease some of the tomato tartness.It was really good.”

“A very simple and delicious meal. We had this with spaghetti. The meat and sauce was wonderful! We will make this again! Thank you for sharing the recipe!”

“This was delicious and very filling. A very hearty meal. The recipe is great because you can change around what kind of veggies you use in it.(I used red onion and carrots.)”

“I added an egg to the beef mixture and made a meatloaf of it and it came out really good. Also I used one full cup of onions and half a red bell pepper. Delicious!”

“Loved the flavors in this dish. A different kind of spaghetti dish. I halved the recipe with great results.”

“Great flavours! Instead of using ground beef I used ground pork and I chose to form the meat into meatballs instead of patties but the seasonings were spot on.”

“I also cheated, and used jar sauce, but I have to tell you the meat pattie mixture is delicious!My son said said it was like spaghetti and flat meatballs!We marked this one down as a winner, and will definitely make it again.Thank you for sharing it!”

“Very good and easy to make! This has wonderful flavor. I did double the sauce. Thanks for sharing!”

“What a winner of a recipe you have here MizzNezz!This was a huge hit with the whole family!I loved the ease in which I can make the meal.So much quicker than making meatballs and baking them and then adding them to the sauce…this cut out a lot of time from my normal process.I did cheat a bit and just used two jars of Prego Naturals Sauce.Served it over whole wheat spaghetti and with a nice garlic bread (Recipe #176541).Great meal !Tagged this in Zaar Cookbook Tag game.”

“Wow, was this good..what a simple, frugal meal that can easily be doubled and tripled as needed..I added a few of my own touches, as we like a bit more sauce, and a little zing:1 cup plain pasta sauce ( no meat ) 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp italian seasoning moreanother winner, MizzNezz..”

“This was a very good meal. We are just 2 so I made 3 patties and the rest of the meat mixture in meatballs and froze them for later. I used my own tomato sauce that I keep the freezer Recipe #240802. I made this for I Recomend Tag Game; thanks for posting.Rita”

“This is a great recipe! It is not heavy on the sauce, and was so easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly.My kids loved it (and they are picky eaters), and my husband who is not a fan of Italian food liked it as well. Thank you so much for sharing! Definitely making this in the future!”

“We love this recipe! Very easy (and fast!) to prepare as most of the ingredients are easily on hand. I,however, added a few things- a bit of red wine, some milk, a tablespoon of Muscovado sugar and pepper flakes to the sauce plus used Romano instead of Parmesan. I also doubled the Italian seasoning. I’m pretty sure that this will be my signature spaghetti/tomato sauce dish. Thanks for the post!”

“Wow……delicious!!The only change I made was I doubled the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning so we could have more sauce over the noodles.It was wonderful!I can’t wait for lunch today because I brought some leftovers!”

“I did love the recipe. I did take out the green peppers and added 1 tablespoon of pesto into the meatball mix.”

“This was a very good dish to make as an alternative to Bolognese. It would be good (although a bit rich) if alfredo sauce was stirred into the pasta before putting the patties and tomato sauce on top. Thanks very much!”

“Very good quick dinner.The meat patties came out very falvorful.I did tweak the sauce a little by adding garlic, a pinch of sugar and parmesean cheese.I will be making this again. Thank You :)”

“I made this last night for dinner. Everyone loved it, very easy and tasty. I did add an extra 15oz. can of spaghetti sauce to the existing sauce so we would have plenty of sauce for the noodles. I left out the peppers I didn’t have any on hand. Thanks so much will make this again.”
