Friday Funny

Cooking Thursday

I tried a new recipe last week.  It's one you can make ahead and have in the freezer, which I love!
It's called Johnny Marzetti, and I have no idea where that name came from, but Bob and I really liked it.  It reminded me of pepper steak, but made with ground beef.

Johnny Marzetti
1 pound cooked ground beef
½ cups diced onion
16 ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon or 1 cube beef bouillon
1 ½ cups slice green bell pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
8 ounces cook egg noodles
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
Stir together beef, onion, tomatoes, garlic powder, beef bouillon, bell pepper, soy sauce and sugar.  Place in airtight container and freeze.

Place container in refrigerator one day before serving.
Cook egg noodles as directed on package.
While they are cooking, simmer meat mixture on stove top.
Once it begins to simmer, stir in mix of corn starch and water.
When noodles are done, stir cheddar cheese in with them till it melts.
Serve noodles topped with meat.

Wordless Wednesday

I took this photo last Tuesday during a rare moment when it wasn't snowing.

This one was taken last Thursday afternoon.  Do you see how much higher the snow is on the fence after just two days?
