Inside-Out Ravioli's

I'm not sure where this recipe came from, my mom often made it when I was growing up.  Most everyone loves this, except Andrew.  At least he doesn't love it unless I considerably reduce the amount of spinach from the recipe.  I also usually use ground pork instead of ground beef, and I don't know that I even ever used the bread crumbs. 
2 lb ground beef
1/2 chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 10 oz. pkg.  frozen chopped spinach
1 bottle spaghetti sauce
1  7oz. pkg shell or elbow macaroni
4 oz. sharp shredded cheese
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
2 well beaten eggs
1/4 c salad oil
salt and pepper to taste

Brown first 3 ingredients in large skillet and add spaghetti sauce.  Cook spinach using package directions.  Drain.  Combine spinach with macaroni and remaining ingredients and spread in 9x13 pan.  Top with meat sauce. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

These are yummy and like all the recipes I've posted I've had a couple of people ask me for the recipe and I'm not sure that I always got it out to my friends.  I haven't really ever made any of my own changes to this recipe except maybe using whole wheat flour.  Andrew LOVES this recipe.


2 oz unsweetened chocolate (2 blocks), melted
2 cups zucchini, grated
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips

Prepare two 8x4 inch loaf pans by greasing and flouring.  Melt unsweetened chocolate and set aside.  Wash and grate zuccini and set aside.  Measure flour, salt, soda, baking powder, and cinnamon into bowl and set aside.  Place eggs in mixing bowl and beat.  Add sugars, oil, melted chocolate, and vanilla; beat until creamy.  Add the zucchini and stir together.  Mix in dry ingredients until incorporated.  Add the chocolate chips and mix in.  Bake at 325 for 45-50 minutes.
