Uses for Spaghetti Sauce

I love having a good supply of spaghetti sauce in the house. I always have some in my pantry because I stock up on it when it goes on sale for $1 or $1.50. The other day I used a partial jar of sauce and was trying to figure out what to make with the rest and I found a really yummy recipe in the process. The next couple days I am going to try and post the recipes I have tried and liked.

First and most obvious is spaghetti. It doesn't get much easier than this. Just open up a jar, heat it, add hamburger or meatballs, and then serve it over some noodles.

Another quick and easy way to use it is to take tortilla shells and put them in a frying pan. Smear some spaghetti sauce on top and then add either cheddar or mozzarella cheese. I also like to add some meat on top for a little extra flavor. Just cook them until they look nice and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted. Last put them on a plate and cut with a pizza cutter. Enjoy!
This is the way my husband likes them. Just a little sauce and a little cheddar cheese.
I on the other hand like them this way. I like more sauce, lots of cheese, and meat. I also like to place another tortilla shell on top and then flip it to get both sides nice and crunchy.
I used left over chicken from dinner the night before and then extra hamburger I had from a previous meal I had made. This also makes it a great way to use up some left overs.:)

Be sure and check back Monday for the really yummy recipe I found!
