Six Delicious Main Dishes

BUBBLE PIZZA

3 pounds ground beef
2 cans pizza sauce (15 oz each
4 tubes refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (12 oz each)
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Additional toppings: crispy bacon, drained pineapple

In a skillet, brown the beef; drain. Stir in pizza sauce. Quarter the biscuits; place in two greased baking dishes. Top with the beef mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. 12-16 servings.

ITALIAN MEATLOAF

3 pounds extra lean ground beef
2 onions, chopped
1 ½ cups bread crumbs, seasoned dry
3 eggs
1 can Prego spaghetti sauce
2 cups cheese cubed

Mix all ingredients, place into greased pans. Top with more Prego or Ketchup. Bake at 350 for 60-70 minutes. Cool a little before slicing and serving. Be sure the center is thoroughly cooked.

SPAGHETTI - The BEST!

Ground beef
Chopped onions
Tomato sauce
Water
Lawrey’s spaghetti seasoning
Spaghetti noodles
Garlic
Bread
Parmesan cheese

Brown the ground beef and onions, drain off the fat. Season with salt and garlic. In a pot, mix tomato sauce, meat and seasoning mix and add some water as needed. Cook a long time. Cook the noodles. Rinse the noodles. Add a little sauce to the noodles to keep them from sticking. At the table, serve the noodles with additional sauce and Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic bread.

SPAGHETTI – The FASTEST!
This is my 16 year old daughter's favorite dish to prepare. She's a great cook but this is so easy it fits with her busy schedule.

Open a jar of sauce and heat. Cook a batch of noodles and drain. Be generous with the Parmesan cheese.

SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE
This is my 9 year old son's favorite dish to prepare.

Left over or planned over cooked spaghetti noodles and sauce.
Lots of grated cheese.
Layer the noodles, sauce and cheese. Cover with foil.
Freeze. When ready to use simply pull out and bake until hot throughout.

Another way to prepare and freeze this is to mix the noodles and sauce and just top with cheese. It is pretty simple that way and my family prefers the layered effect.

LASAGNA-STYLE SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Speaking of layered effect, try the above layering but add a layer of cottage cheese mixed with a couple of raw eggs and seasoning. This makes the spaghetti dish almost like a lasagna.

Kitchen Chaos Index
References and Resource Recommendations

Managing a kitchen in a large family can be a pretty exhausting task. It certainly isn't something that can take care of itself! With that in mind I am always looking for ways to make the kitchen experience easier, more enjoyable, or just plain manageable. Mega cooking, recipes, teaching children how to cook, organizing the kitchen are just some of the topics addressed in my Kitchen Chaos series. This index contains the entire series, not just the recipes.

Kitchen Chaos Individual Recipe Index

I have posted more than one recipe on each of my cooking pages. For your convenience I have submitted this individual index so you can find which recipe is on which page. I hope you enjoy them. Remember that my recipes are altered to be for a family of twelve. If your family is smaller, many of the recipes can be prepared as is and then divided and frozen for additional meals during stressful times. This index is just for listing the recipes and does not include the other kitchen and cooking articles.
