Sounds yummy
Thank you for this amazing recipe! I cannot believe how quick, easy yet inexpensive this was while tasting really great. This is a definite keeper. The only thing I added was garlic, pepper and a little Himalayan pink salt . Wished I had this when our children were home🤗
Happy you enjoyed it, Britt 🙂
I wanted to thank you for the meatball dump recipe. It was seriously amazing! My husband absolutely loved it not to mention how easy this was, no mess and yet we had a fulfilling dinner that I could easily whip out in no time on those ,’ I’ve been cooking dinners for 30+ years I hate cooking/thinking nights🤭’. This is brilliant and a keeper for sure that I’ve already passed along to my daughter and my daughter in law.
I done exactly what the directions said and after 35 minutes it was very soupy and the pasta was not done
This sounds easy , simple .love cooking but after 50 years no help it gets old .Thanks for sharing your comment can’t wait to try it
Great! 🙂
The meatball dump recipe was so easy and very tasty. Beware, it makes a huge amount.
Great! Thanks for your feedback 🙂
I did everything right and didn’t turn out the way it was suppose to.. it tasted blah and bad enough that my dogs didn’t eat and they eat everything.. never again!!
I used a 2 lb bag of meatballs. A full box of pasta. Put in 9 x 13 casserole dish. Cooked 35 minutes. Pasta still hard. Cooked another 20 minutes. Still not done. Put part of it in a smaller dish and cooked 15 minutes more. Topped with cheese and baked 10 minutes. Still a little chewy. Next time I will precook the pasta a little. Should specify in the recipe what size bag of meatballs. I believe the dish was too full. It tasted good.
This was super easy and flavorful. We will be adding it to our rotation. I did follow other reviewers and made some changes; added one can of tomato sauce and only 1/2 cup of water. Increased cooking time to 55 min covered then added cheese and cooked the additional 15.
my 1 star says it all
