Spaghetti Casserole and our Menu Plan

Having a quick and easy meal this time of year is really important. You are so busy and everything can get so crazy, with the decorating, baking, shopping and parties.

Last week, when I cooked the Broccoli Beef Stir-Fry, it was the first time that I had used Cooking Wine. Have you cooked with wine before?

Here are some quick & easy ideas for using Holland House Products:

Holland House® Red Cooking Wine

• Stir into gravy and red sauces
• Add to soup made with beef stock
• Enhances the flavor of hearty stews and meat dishes
• Excellent for beef, lamb and pork
• Marinate less-tender cuts of beef in red cooking wine for 24 hours to boost flavor and tenderize.Drain and cook as desired.

I wanted to turn our normal Italian night into something a little different, but still have it quick and easy. So, I flipped through my Holland House cookbook and spotted their Gusto Divini Meat Sauce…perfect!

Notes

Cooks Note: This recipe makes a lot of sauce. I cut it in half, and used my slow cooker on low for about 4 hours. Adding the cooking wine gave the Spaghetti Casserole great flavor and the seasonings made it taste rich.
