While I like making new things, I am asked by J to make some of those things that I've tried in the past that are really good. Here's an example from What's Cooking Fall 2007. I obviously started making these after we got married. I don't know if it was because I had hot dog buns lingering in the back of my freezer, or I just thought they looked interesting.
These come from the Kids can Cook section, and I can totally see how these are kid friendly. They're also husband friendly. I pretend that I make them healthy by using whole wheat buns. I present for your enjoyment a great weekend dinner, Cheesy Volcano Meatballs. It's even Kraft's title, not some bastardized version from when J and I are talking and I can't remember what I'm planning to make is called:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
6 Ritz crackers, finely crushed
1/4 c Parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 c pasta sauce, divided
12 cubes old cheddar cheese (about 1 cm)
4 hot dog buns
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Mix ground beef, cracker crumbs, parmesan and 1/4 c pasta sauce. Shape into 12 meatballs, using about 2 Tbsp for each meatball.
3. Place on a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with foil. Press a cube of cheese into the centre of each meatball.
4. Bake 15 minutes until meatballs are done. Microwave remaining sauce for 30 seconds until heated through, and spoon onto the bottom of the hot dog buns. Fill with 3 meatballs and serve hot.
