Refridgerator Dinner

My mom is the queen of making something delicious out of ingredients and leftovers in the fridge. When it's 7 oclock at night and I am beyond hangry I am always really thankful for the "fridge skills" I have inherited. The most recent refrigerator dinner creation Meatball Vegetable Ragu.

The great part of this meal is the veggies that go in it are flexible so you can just use what you have.

Meatball Vegetable Ragu
1lb ground beef
1 medium eggplant
2 zucchini
1 medium onion
1 large red pepper
1 small jar of spaghetti sauce
3 tsp. onion powder
2 tbls. garlic poweder 

1. Make the ground beef into mini meatballs. If you don't want to take the time to do this, just brown the hamburger.
2. Dice the eggplant, red pepper, and onion, and them to the pan
3. Sautee until the veggies are soft but not over done.
4. Add the sauce, and garlic and onion powder, and let the veggies and meatballs just simmer.
5. Slice the zucchini into 1/4 thin strips. Then add them to the sauce. The serve as the noodles in this meal, no need to wait for noodles to boil.
6. Let everything simmer together, on med-low heat, until the zucchini is soft.
7. ENJOY!!!

Sassily Yours,
