The Best Meatballs

2 lb. ground beef

1 pkg. Stuffing Mix for Chicken

1-1/4 cups water

2 eggs

12 oz grape jelly

16 oz barbecue sauce

Mix ingredients until blended; shape into 32 (1-1/2-inch) balls. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil; spray with cooking spray. Place 16 meatballs in each prepared pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 16 to 18 min. or until done (160ºF). Bring grape jelly and barbecue sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Combine half the meatballs with sauce. Freeze remaining meatballs when cool. Makes two 4 serving meals. This recipe makes enough sauce that half of the sauce can be frozen also.

Thaw meatballs. Add frozen sauce and thawed meatballs to skillet. Heat until both are hot. Serve with rice, noodles, or potatoes.

Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Shells.

*From December's meal swap*

I am not gonna lie!!  This is NOT a very LOW CAL meal!  I changed it up a little to cut out a few calories.  I only used 1 package of cream cheese (the 1/3 less fat kind), only 1/2 package of parmesan and only 1 cup maybe a 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella.   While I'm sure the "real" recipe is DIVINE, I think its still great with a little cut out. 

44 uncooked jumbo pasta shells (That’s about one and one-half 12-oz boxes)
2 c chopped cooked chicken
2 c fresh chopped spinach
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15oz) container ricotta cheese
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (5oz) package shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1 2/3 c.)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 Tb dried parsley flakes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (26oz) jar prepared spaghetti sauce (any variety)

Cook shells according to package directions (be sure to stir every once in awhile so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan and tear apart); drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease 2 13x9x2inch baking dishes.
In a large bowl, combine chicken and all the rest of the ingredients except mozzarella and spaghetti sauce. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella. Spoon into shells. Spread half of spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dishes. Arrange shells over sauce; top with remaining sauce. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Makes 8-10 servings.
