Spaghettio Hot dog “Jello” recipe
That’s right, you read that correctly. I made this a long time ago - but here’s the recipe for it in case you’d like to try 😁

2 cans of Spaghetti-Os (I used the ones with franks in the mix 😊.. because why the heck not? Who doesn’t love a little bit of weenie in their O’s?

¼ cup of water
¼ cup of condensed tomato soup

2 (¼ ounce) packets of unflavored gelatin

Hot dogs or Vienna sausages if you’d like to add those. Some people plop the Vienna sausage in the middle if they use a ring mold. Or buy the spgahttios with the franks mixed in like I did. Convenience is always a plus.

First combine the water and tomato soup in a large saucepan. Then add the gelatin and let that baby bloom. Then turn heat to medium and stir. Continue stirring until there are no lumps of gelatin. Because nobody wants lumpy gelatin. If you’ve ever tasted a clump of plain gelatin you know exactly what I mean 😆 No bueno.

Turn off heat and add spaghettios and hot dogs. Mix it all up. Pour the mixture into your greased mold. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours or until firm

Turn it over to unmold and serve it to your unsuspecting guests or family members. It’s sure to be quite memorable.

Pasta Fagioli Soup

INGREDIENTS:

Two pounds of ground beef
One sliced onion and three chopped carrots
Four celery stalks, chopped
Two 28-oz cans of diced, undrained tomatoes
One 16-oz can of washed and drained red kidney beans
One 16-oz can of washed and drained white kidney beans
Three 10-oz cans of beef stock
Three teaspoons of oregano
Two teaspoons of pepper
Five teaspoons of parsley
One teaspoon of optional tabasco sauce
One 20-oz jar of spaghetti sauce
Eight ounces of spaghetti
INSTRUCTIONS:

Add the beef, pasta, and all other ingredients to a crock pot after browning and draining the fat. Cook for 7–8 hours on low or 4–5 hours on high. 30 minutes prior to eating, add the pasta. Serve with warm, crusty bread! Note: divide the recipe in half if you don’t have a large crock pot. Additionally, pasta fagioli freezes really well, so you may prepare a large quantity and store the remainder! Have fun, everyone.

Sounds good.

Just a little trivia. Pasta Fagioli Traditionally was a meatless Friday Lenten meal. It usually had tomatoes, pasta, beans, sometimes peas and that was it.
My mom made a white Pasta Fagioli with sausage for my dad because he didn’t like tomatoes much and had to have meat. But never on a Friday during lent.
 
Italian Stromboli
1 tube of pillsbury pizza crust
8 slices of deli ham
10 slices of Genoa salami
12 slices of sandwich pepperoni
8 slices provolone cheese or mozzarella
(You could definitely use shredded cheese as well)
2 tablespoons of butter
2 minced garlic gloves
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
Melt the butter in the microwave and mix in the minced garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese. Set aside
I lined my baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stretch the pizza crust out to almost the size of your baking sheet.
Layer the deli meats. I started with the ham, then the salami followed by the pepperoni.
Layer the cheese last.
Roll the Stromboli longwise and be sure to seal the seam good.
Seal the ends good. Pinch them and mold the excess dough to the underside of the Stromboli.
Score the top a few times with a serrated knife (to allow the steam to escape while baking).
Top the Stromboli with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake the Stromboli as instructed on the back of whatever pizza dough you are using.
*I found it’s the same bake time as you would if you were using it for a regular pizza…however, you just won’t par bake it as instructed on the tube.
*I know typical Stromboli has red sauce but I don’t like it inside, I like to dip mine in it! You could very well use it on the inside if you would like!
Enjoy! @tout le monde
