My creation is delicious! I used 1 pound ground beef, 8 oz. Velveeta, some chopped onion, and a bit of garlic. I browned the beef, onions, and garlic and then drained. I added the cubed Velveeta to the meat and stirred it until gooey. Then I added some cooked macaroni noodles (about two cups maybe?). I just added the roni until it looked good ( Read more... )

That troll entry in Childfree got deleted _right_ as I was posting a pasta sauce recipe for you! So here :D
Its a pretty basic recipe, and you can gussy it up any way you want.
If you make allot you can always freeze it in small bunches!

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 medium onion, diced (about 3 tablespoons)
4 cloves garlic, sliced
3 (28-ounce) cans whole, peeled, tomatoes, roughly chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 small bunch fresh basil, leaves chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with about half of their juices (discarding the rest), the herb sprigs and basil and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for about 25 to 30 minutes or until thickened.

Remove and discard the herb sprigs (the leaves will have fallen off). Stir in the salt and season with pepper, to taste. Serve or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Thank you so much! That recipe sounds tasty and not too hard to make. I'm sad the stupid got deleted before recipes started popping up.

I was kind of sad too. There aren't enough trolls in CF_Hardcore, where there is a quick, almost violent response of kittens and recipes. Just a note about this sauce too, if you want to use dried herbs you can. Its kind of annoying buying thyme, because you have to buy so much. Fresh basil, on the other hand, is always worth it. :)

I was shocked that there was only one cat macro in the whole thing. Very sad. I was looking through my cat macro stash for some good ones and then the post was gone. Tragic.

I have always wanted to use fresh herbs, but so far I have been lazy and just use the dried crap in my pantry. I'm going to take the fresh herb plunge with this recipe though.
