One of our favorite ground beef recipes that I love cooking on Sunday’s is spaghetti and meatballs. It’s easy, and one of our ground beef recipes pasta recipes. Always a family favorite. Usually I cook the meatballs in the pot that I cook the sauce in but, I had a chance to try a different way of cooking the dish. It was super easy and gave me an extra fifteen minutes to do other things. I love saving time and cleaning as I cook. Don’t you?

Spaghetti With Baked Meatballs 

Ground Beef Recipes Pasta Recipes Spaghetti and Baked Meatballs this dinner can be made in under 30 minutes! A must try recipe.

Call me picky but, I’m a clean as you go kind of cook. Today I’m sharing the easy recipe along with some other kitchen tips I think you’ll love. If your new here my grandparents were chefs for an Italian restaurant. When they retired they still loved cooking all the time. They had a large family and had big family dinners every weekend, and on holidays. From the time I was able to dip my hands into a sink to help with dishes the apron was tied behind my back.

 When I was done helping they would give me treats of Italian cookies. My grandma helped teach me how to clean, stir a pot of sauce and later how to cook some of her favorite sauces. On days I find myself too busy during the week to cook a pot of sauce this kind of recipe comes in handy. Today’s recipe is for meatballs (recipe at end of post) and using your favorite sauce whether home cooked or in the jar like I use when I’m super busy.

Spaghetti With Baked Meatballs

Meatballs are really easy to make. This time I followed a ground beef recipe I got from Bounty Paper towels who shared some of their favorite easy recipes with me. It was almost like the one I already make and oh, so good.

The best part is you bake the meatballs for fifteen minutes in the oven and then add them to your sauce. This really makes them tender and moist. I really liked this recipe! I think you will too. You’ll find the printable spaghetti and baked meatballs recipe is later in the post.

You can call it cheating if you like when not using homemade sauce but, things are different now. Our lifestyles are busier. The good news is there are plenty of good pasta sauces and even organic pasta sauces that are delicious. Make fresh homemade sauce with your meatballs when you can. 

Making your easy meal doesn’t mean you don’t have messes to clean whether it’s your cooking messes or the kids messes. I love cleaning as I go. Here’s a few tips to help you! 

Kitchen Tips; 

  • When preparing dinners I always clean my counters first (We have pets but, even if we didn’t I would. Starting with a clean surface is important.)
  • After I have any meats on the counter I wipe the area down with a soapy paper towel like Bounty with Dawn
  • I also wipe the counters down after using or cracking any eggs
  • Then of course when there is any spills happening as I cook (or when the kids serve themselves and make a mess)
  • After I’m done cooking I like to wipe down the stove, fridge doors and dishwasher handle areas

Doing all these things is good for sanitary reasons but, also helps make after dinner clean up quick and easy! Then there is more time for visiting. Who doesn’t love that? I had a chance to try a new product Bounty with Dawn. This is a specially designed 2-in-1 product that combines an ultra-durable Bounty paper towel with grease-fighting power of Dawn dish soap. When activated by water, Bounty with Dawn stands up to tough messes like grease and dried food residue. Perfect for cleaning the stove area. (when it’s not hot)

  • Bounty with Dawn stands up to tough messes similar to a dishcloth
  • Bounty with Dawn is the thickest, strongest Bounty available on the market, with 70% more fibers in each sheet and cloth like durability to stay intact while cleaning
  • Bounty with Dawn can even be reused—simply rinse and wring the grease out to keep tackling any mess with just one sheet
  • Regular Bounty is still recommended for everyday messes and spills
  • The grease-fighting power of Dawn combined with the strength of Bounty cleans 4x better than a used dishcloth

My favorite thing about these paper towels is you can rinse and wring out spills, sauces or other everyday messes. They work like a charm!

And really do a great job making my counters shiny and clean! (don’t mind my cupboards we are right in the middle of remodeling) Do you have areas in the kitchen or house where you could use Bounty re-usable dishtowel with Dawn?

I’ve thought of a few more places I can! Cleaning the fridge, craft-room, wiping down the kids desks, computer keyboards or tables. 

You can find Bounty with Dawn at your local Walmart or online at Amazon. I know this product is going to be a new staple in our home especially when I’m cooking up easy recipes or when we are doing DIY and craft projects.
