Spaghetti N Meatballs! (and GIVEAWAY!)

Yep..
I'm still cooking with my lean ground beef that the Lean Cut Personality Quiz matched me family up with.

I've had a blast looking through all the great cuts of lean beef on the "Beef It's Whats For Dinner website."

Today, I decided to try a new recipe from the site for one of my family's favorite dishes.
Good Ole Spaghetti and Meatballs!

I'm not none who usually embraces new recipes when I already have a tried and true one in my arsenal that I know my family loves.

But I'm sure glad I gave this one a shot!

How yummy does THIS look?
And believe me when I tell ya... It tastes as good as it looks!

My boys gobbled it up so fast, that I was scared I wouldn't have any left to snap a picture of it!

Check out the recipe!
It's Good!
It's easy!
And it uses our wonderful Lean Beef!
Spaghetti and Savory Meatballs

Guess what?....
I want you to be able to enjoy the cooking with lean beef as much as I have...
So, I'm giving away another Lean Beef Prize Pack!

Lean Beef Prize Pack includes...
1 I Heart Lean Beef Apron

    I have never cooked a Filet Mignon (Tenderloin Steak), but I LOVE them! The pan broiling method doesn't seem too difficult, so I may have to give it a try!

    Mmmmm, the 95% lean Ground beef. The stuffed peppers in the photo on the side clinched the deal. So pretty and delicious. Makes me hungry for them.

    1) My favorite cut of beef is definitely the Flat Iron steak. It isn't too expensive, but is tender, juicy, and lean. Love it!

    2) Twitter name (everexpanding)

    3) Recipe I'd like to make is http://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/recipe.aspx?id=994

    (Taco Beef Nuggets)

    4) facebook.com/jndijohnson I posted about your giveaway, but my privacy settings probably won't allow you to check that out!

    Great post! Thanks!

    Bottom round is my current favorite. Its thin enough to be used in sandwiches and its a good substitute for flank steak

    I love Tenderloin. I have a ton of recipes which highlight its texture and quick-cooking without serving a huge amount of beef at one time.
