Regardless of my income status, I have always hated wasting food, or letting it go bad, which sometimes happens. Well... The other day I had made some spaghetti, and after having a few leftovers, I had just enough sauce left for a snack, not a full meal. When I was deciding what I wanted to make for dinner, I chose to make a meatloaf. I have not had this in a while. While I was driving home from the market, I was hoping that I did not forget anything. Then it hit me... Instead of topping my meatloaf with tomato sauce (which I normally do)...i would add the leftover spaghetti sauce. It's already seasoned, and it would be a perfect combination, since both meals were made with ground beef. This was the first time I ever did this combination, and it turned out quite well. I love coming up with new innovative ideas, especially when it comes to cooking my meals. I don't like eating the same thing over and over again... And if I do...many times I will add a new and different twist to it. So the next time you are thinking about throwing out that extra bit of sauce, that you don't know what to do with...try using it as topping to your main dish, and/or casserole. You will be surprised how good it turns out!
