Gigante Meatballs
Make these when you have time because they’re delicious and they freeze well. I just pulled a bag out of the freezer for dinner added them to a pot of sauce and served it over spaghetti. So easy. They’re also great over polenta! Giant Meatballs THE MEATBALLS: 1 pound 80% fat ground beef 1 pound ground pork…

A different take on the classic
Carbonara. Just the name sounds scrumptious. I mean the first syllable is “carb”! It’s rich and comforting and it includes pork fat.
