Even though I'm cooking new stuff every week, I have been falling into a pattern. On Thursdays, I run to the market to pick up any ingredients I need for my new Fair Shares foods. I've been cooking up the vegetables along with chicken, which I'm very comfortable cooking. On Fridays, I've been trying the meat choice, with less success.
How can I screw up ground beef? We got egg noodles from Fair Shares this week. I got ground beef as a special order, in place of the cube steak. I was going to make meatballs. I've made these twice with unusual meats like lamb, and they turned out great.
I don't know what I did differently this time. The meatballs stuck to the frying pan, they started to fall apart, they seemed to take much longer to cook. Eventually, they tasted okay, but not worth the stress.
This is what was left in the frying pan. Roy suggested we scrape it out and add it to the sauce. I'm not a big fan of meat sauce though - I like discrete pieces of meat in my pasta, so we left it there. Roy cleaned out the frying pan, so I wouldn't have to.
I bought some fresh parsley for another recipe, and I used some here too.
