Main Dishes
- In a large bowl combine parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, parsley, basil and oregano.
- Fold in ground beef and mix together until well blended.
- Form into 16 equal sized meatballs.
- In any CanCooker, add the spaghetti sauce and place on a medium-to-medium low heat. Add the meatballs to the sauce cover and steam for 15-20 minutes.
- While meatballs are cooking, use a plastic straw to punch a hole through each olive half to create a circular ‘pupil’. Use the same straw to punch a hole through the center of each string cheese slice. Insert the round olive piece inside the hole in the string cheese slice to create ‘eyes’.
- Remove meatballs from the CanCooker and let cool until safe to handle.
- Assemble zombie eye by spooning a dot of spaghetti sauce onto each meatball where you want to place the ‘eyes’. Apply the olive-cheese ‘eye’ over the sauce. Serve with spaghetti and sauce.
