I don't often make recipes where you just open a jar or thaw something out, but I've made this more than once when I was in a hurry for a meal for some guests. I don't remember where I got this recipe. Its torn out of some magazine though!

Good thing that I had saved the photo's into an album and added the date to them.I made these on 3/15/2014.The day of my mom's birthday.Chris hadn't took any food down to his mom yet this week.Chris's mom's birthday is Monday (March 31st).

I know that I made this yesterday.I hope that you don't mind me adding my Sandys Meatballs link here so that people knew what I'm talking about by making my own version of my recipe on the meatballs. Chris took the food down to his mom today.I'm not for sure what we'll be taking down to his mom next.Plus who knows on Peggy's (Chris's mom) 6 children or even her grandkids and great grandkids will take to her on food wise.I'll let you know what I hear from Chris when he takes what ever next to his mom.

Made this with a stewed tomato style spaghetti sauce and home made meatballs. Needs a more savory sauce for next time.
With all the mods to make it a from scratch recipe it still turned out well.
