This Rachael Ray recipe is really good. All in all it is like a hamburger, but it taste completely different. It was very good, it did taste like a meatball. Another great thing about it is it’s easy to clean up! So this is a double bonus recipe for me. I loved it because it combined two of my favorite things, meat balls and hamburgers, life doesn’t get much better! Be ready for a burst of flavor, you’re about to get it!

Husband Says: ” These are really good, I added mustard and mayo to mine because that’s how I like it. I ate 2, I liked them.” (Obviously he ate after me, left before I got home, but he was nice enough to call and give his opinion.)

Notes: I left out the onions, why you might ask, well I was lazy tonight and my husband was getting tired of having onions in every meal. I also changed my mind last minute and used some mozzarella cheese instead of provolone, but I’m sure it’s good either way.

Ingredients

meat, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, and cheese

Formed Patties cooking

meat and pizza sauce

meat, sauce and cheese and eat!

I really wanted to love Rachael Ray’s Tuscan Chipecken recipe, but maybe my sauce was to thick, or maybe the rosemary was to strong. I’m not saying it was bad, but definitely wouldn’t make my top 10 Rachael Ray dinners, sorry Rach! I do find it interesting, chicken, I don’t recall there being a lot of chicken in Italy, maybe I just missed it. Well, if you make this let me know what you and your family thought. The baby like it, but again, he eats anything! The recipe on her website is a little bit different then the one in the book, so if the ingredients weren’t in your shopping list, just leave them out!

Husband Says: “It’s good, but it’s not my favorite, it’s okay.”

Notes: If you don’t want to use wine in your cooking, don’t, I like to use it because the flavors are usually so good. I’m not sure I would’ve missed it in this dish, and don’t worry about your little ones, the alcohol cooks out, so it is mostly just very intense flavors. Also, maybe tone back the rosemary a little bit, and I would just leave out the sauce, or don’t make it thick like I did. I served this with some white cheddar mac and cheese.

Ingredients

Heat oil and garlic

Sear up the chickenadd vinegar, wine, and rosemary
