One-Pot Wonder: Easy Dinner Tonight
There is nothing I love more than a one-pot wonder of a meal. This simple three-meat spaghetti and meat sauce is made all in one skillet, which means only one pan to wash.
This dish is so full of flavor and perfectly cooked pasta that my husband didn’t even believe me when I told him it was made all in one pot. It’s so easy to make and takes only 45 minutes from start to finish. If you can’t find ground meatloaf mix in your grocery store, you can easily substitute with ground beef, turkey or chicken.
