Spagetti Casserole?

1 lb spags. - cooked
8 oz sour cream or plain yogurt
1 lb ground beef (chicken or turkey work too)
1 jar spagetti sauce
shredded mozzarella for the top

Mix cooked spags with sour cream and press into a 13 X 9" pan.

Brown ground beef and add sauce. Spread over spagettti layer.

Cover with cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until cheese is all bubbly.

Serve with bread and salad.

I make a super simple alfredo sauce that is fantastic over noodles, with or without chicken. Melt a stick of butter (I use half that), add a clove of garlic (at least!), add 1 pkg cream cheese (melt and whisk smooth), add up to 4 cups of milk or half-and-half, then add a standard size can of parmesan/romano cheese and Italian spices to taste. Sauce will thicken some after adding the cheese. I usually add less milk than it calls for to keep it thicker.

Pulled beef sandwiches. (Or pulled beef over mashed potatoes)

(Make the crock pot your best friend on those nights after the service! You come home and with minimal preparation, it's hot and ready to go! And if the service runs late, NO PROBLEM!)

I like Jackie's idea I call ours Italian beef for sandwiches--- cook your beef with 1 teaspoon of each: oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, dehydraded onion, and salt. also a little bit of red peeper flakes and a packet of Italian dressing powdered mix. all of these are boiled in 4 cups of water with 3 beef bouilon cubes for 3 minutes and poured over the beef in the crockpot. (turn your crockpot on while you boil the liquid).
shred and serve on hoagie rolls.


other ideas:
meatballs and mashed potatoes and veggie

roast a turkey and slice and set out sandwich fixings

sausage and pepper sandwiches

grilled chicken ceasar salad with garlic bread

vegetable beef soup

enchiladas or loaded nachos

baked potato bar with salad (you can keep potatoes hot in a crockpot)

Amy, the next time I make pulled beef, I will do that. I usually have some on hand, because I'll buy four roasts when they're B1G1, and cook all four in my electric roaster and then freeze the meet. Great for something you need quickly!

Jackie, this is THE best smelling recipe ever in the crockpot and you serve the "juice" with the sandwiches like a french dip.......... my kids call it "heaven juice"
