What's For Dinner Tonight

I love Kraft Food's recipes. You can go and find all sorts of yummy family recipes there. Last night's dinner of Easy Italian Pasta Bake came from there. Tonight's dinner, however, came from their magazine Food and Family. On the menu was Sweet and Sour Meatballs. This is a super fast meal because it utilizes fully cooked frozen meatballs and frozen peppers. Of course, make your own meatballs or use fresh veggies, which is what I did tonight.

What you need to make this yummy, fast and easy meal:

12 oz. frozen fully cooked meatballs (3/4 of 16 oz pkg)
     I usually just use the whole thing and add a little to the rest of the ingredients.
1- 16 oz. package frozen stir-fry vegatables (sliced green, red, and yellow peppers and white onions)
1/4 cup apricot jam      I use apricot preserves because I can't find jam
1/4 cup catalina dressing
2 Tbsp soy sauce

You can also add 1/2 tsp each of ginger and garlic powder to the sauce while it's cooking to, as the recipe says, " jazz it up".


Mix it all together and let it cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until it's all heated through, and don't forget to stir it occasionally.

I serve it over white rice, though you could certainly serve it with pasta if you wish, and usually a baby spinach salad on the side.

Simple, Fast, Delicious. What more could you ask for?? Enjoy!
