Add the noodles to the macaroni to the hamburger and sauce, and stir to coat the macaroni with sauce. Pour cheese mixture on top of macaroni, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Extra Meaty Spaghetti Sauce

This is an old family recipe. My grandma used to make it and it is the best sauce I have ever had. No restaurant or bottled sauce will ever compare. The sauce takes a long time to cook but it freezes very well. I break mine down into family meal size tupperware and freeze for a quick, easy, homemade meal, pull it out of the freezer to thaw before you leave for work.Submitted by: FEFERNATOR

Rosemary Balsamic Sirloin Kabobs

Simple and straight forward, this recipe could be made the day ahead of time, the morning of to save the marinade time. I make two pounds at once, marinade over night, and freeze off in portion sizes the next day while i skewer my kabob for dinner. That way, all you have to do is pull it out the night before and skewer it the next day just before grilling or baking.Submitted by: MOTIVATION4LEA
