call me crazy but perhaps if the state had just taken this guy's car off him the first time he used it as a weapon, then the victim might still be alive

🔒 imagine you’re invited to someone’s house and you’re like sorry this is such short notice, don’t worry about dinner I’ll grab something on the way there. and your coworker is like oh, my wife will make her classic bear meat spaghetti. she always has ground bear meat on hand
Consider this a Matriarch Monday challenge.
Imagine your husband calls and says he's bringing home 30 people for dinner in 1 hour. What do you have at your disposal that you could feed that many people with in that short amount of time. (now if you follow the comments thread tually do take much longer and they have a grocery store 2 minutes away that they utilize for needed ingredients, but lets pretend we don't have that luxury) What could YOU, dear sister, scrounge together to feed a crowd in an hour flat?
As someone who feeds crowds of 30 or more pretty regularly and who has a husband who loves to invite folks over last minute here's what I came up with out of ingredients I had on hand.
60 minute Spaghetti and Meat Sauce with Garlic Bread for 30.
I have 4 stovetop burners and 4 large pots. I'd need them all plus the oven.
Supplies on hand:
1. I basically have a seemingly unlimited supply of ground bear meat so 2 gallon sized bags of that but regular old ground beef or venison would also do. Or turkey if you're weird that way.
2. 3 cheap Walmart tubes of beef chorizo
3. I have shelves full of pickled tomatoes from this summer's garden. If for some sad reason you didn't pickle tomatoes which is by far the most superior way to preserve them, you can use regular canned tomatoes instead.
4. 3 cans of tomato paste
5. 4 boxes of pasta: 1 angle hair, 1 spaghetti, 1 linguini, 1 fettuccini.
6. 1 bag of 16 French rolls rolls from Walmart (unfortunately I already used the other 8 for steak sandwiches for Sabbath dinner for our fam today after church. this btw is one of my favorite Walmart bargains at $5 for 2 dozen good sized rolls)
The Process:
1. The gallon zips of frozen bear meat each go into a large dutch oven on med-high heat.
2. Add to each a tube and a half of the beef chorizo (even tho we're cooking italian just trust me) and cover with lid.
3. 2 more large pots are filled with salted water to bring to a boil. Fettuccine will go in one followed by the linguine a minute or so later. Spaghetti will go in the other followed by the angel hair a minute or so later.
4. Pickled tomatoes are drained and then pureed right in the jars with emulsion blender.
5. French rolls are sliced in half, buttered, and sprinkled with TJ's garlic onion salt. These will go onto cookie sheets and baked till golden
6. Once the ground meat is cooked through (this will take up a good part of your hour since its frozen in such big chunks) you will add half of the pureed pickled tomatoes and a can and a half of tomato paste to each pot. Because you wisely pickled your tomatoes using the Russian method you will not need to add any other flavorings. If your canned tomatoes were done by some other method you're on your own making them taste good.
7. I happen to have enough plates to serve 30 guests spaghetti on but honestly the better receptacle with this meal would be mugs and/or cereal bowls since folks probably aren't all seated around a table.
8. Unlike @TheJollyBrawler I never in my life have had enough beer, soda, and cigars around for 30 people so we'll all just be having water and good breath after for kissing our spouses with.
The cost: < $2 per person
Ok ladies. Let's see what you can come up with. Creativity wins the day!
