Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip!

Just so you know, we've tested this with turkey meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, and even meatballs with sausage mixed in, and all got great reviews.
No need to mix and form your own meatballs! Look for the cooked and frozen variety in your supermarket. The package usually comes with 30 to 32 meatballs per pound.

We are having the above ^^^^ recipe today about 5 pm for an early college GAMEDAY supper. My ? Penguins are on TV at 5 from UNI.

The only substitution we had a big package of chicken ? legs so it's a big bunch of drumsticks for Saturday and Sunday football !

I'll let you know how it comes out later.........

............well it's later, the only changes from the recipe we used all dark meat legs which I prefer and omitted the optional wine which could go either way. It's a simple but satisfying dish good enough for any weekday meal. Also had some rolls and butter,. wife thinks a side of rice or noodles would be nice,. I agree. Good not super great recipe. B.

Well I've been doing this GAMEDAY meals and other tailgating and party get-together foods for over 15 years now along with an email version I send out to to various friends and neighbors. Last year I kind of included various easy and delicious meals that would be great to have at a family meal which can also go on any party or tailgating table. And if you want to be included in the email just PM, EM me at [email protected] or leave your email address here.

Now on to this week's recipe and bon appetit !

How about a nice Spinach-Artichoke Manicotti, perfect for a weeknight dinner or entertaining or a delicious GAMEDAY side dish.

Baked pasta doesn't get the attention it deserves, but spinach-artichoke manicotti is here to change that. It has all the components of your favorite dip stuffed inside a cheesy, creamy Alfredo-covered manicotti. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or for entertaining!

★ If red sauce is more your thing, then try out our classic Cheese Manicotti!

YIELDS 6 SERVINGS PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 10 MINS ...... TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR 5 MINS

INGREDIENTS

1 (8-oz.) package manicotti

1 (16-oz.) container ricotta

1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1 c. chopped artichoke hearts

2 c. shredded mozzarella, divided

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

3 tbsp. butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

2 c. milk

1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan

Juice of ½ a lemon

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook manicotti until al dente, 5 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, artichoke hearts, and ½ cup mozzarella. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Transfer to a piping bag or large resealable plastic bag and make a cut in the corner of the bag.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add flour and whisk until golden and bubbly, 1 minute. Slowly pour in milk and whisk until no lumps remain. Add Parmesan and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and let simmer until slightly thickened, 5 minutes.

Spoon about ¼ cup of sauce on bottom of a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Pipe ricotta filling into manicotti, making sure to fill entire noodle and place in pan. Pour remaining sauce over noodles and top with remaining 1½ cups mozzarella.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is melty, 10 minutes. If you'd like the top to be golden, broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley to serve.

That's the great thing about chili there's no right or wrong way to enjoy it, it's pretty much what you like to do with it.

This cafeteria style is pretty much a basic and very good chili recipe.

I was just thinking about what we are planning for our coming GAMEDAY WEEKEND MEALS and I got this email. We haven't had a Jersey Mike's PORTABELLO MUSHROOM SANDWICH in a long time -plus- there's a 90% chance of rain on Saturday which kinda puts a damper on outdoor picnics and grilling.

Oh the power of advertising. ?
