Short week, but we are cooking a few things. Also, a yummy PC recipe for you to try

Well, this is a busy week for us. I've got a lot going on in the evenings, but we're still cooking. I say WE because my darling hubby is actually doing some cooking this week too. He made dinner last night and did a really good job! It was very yummy! He's a good cook, when he wants to be. he he he

Glazed Teriyaki Meatballs & Noodles

12 oz uncooked spaghetti
1 1/4lbs 90% lean ground beef
1/2 c finely chopped onion
1/4 c plain bread crumbs
1 egg
2 TBS Asian seasoning
1 (16 oz) bag frozen stir fry vegetables, thawed
1 cup teriyaki baste & glaze, divided
2 TBS vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced

1. Cook noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside. Meanwhile, combine beef, onion, bread crumbs, egg and seasoning in a mixing bowl, mix well. Form into 24 balls (using the PC medium scoop if you have it); place into Deep Covered Baker. Microwave, covered, on high for 5 - 7 minutes. Add vegetables and 3/4 cup of the teriyaki baste & glaze. Cover and microwave 4 - 6 minutes or until internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160 degrees.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in 12 in skillet over med. - high heat 1 - 3 minutes or until shimmering. Cook garlic 1 - 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add noodles and remaining teriyaki baste & glaze. Cook 3 -4 minutes. Divide noodles evenly among bowls, top with glazed meatballs and vegetables.

*Gene made this last night and mixed the noodles and meatballs.veggies all together. He also said that the meatballs didn't get done enough in the microwave, so he cooked them a bit longer in the pan when he mixed everything together.

* If you do not have the PC Asian seasoning, you can use any Asian seasoning or substitute with 2 tsp grated ginger root, 3/4 tsp salt, 1 pressed garlic clove and 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper.

Enjoy!
