INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
7 ounces olives -- pimento-stuffed
14 ounces spaghetti sauce
3 quarts water
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the ground beef, bread
crumbs, ketchup, egg, pepper and oregano in a large bowl. Then
form the meat mixture into about 18 to 24 eyeball-sized balls.
Press an olive into each ball, pimento side out.
2. Place the eyeballs in a baking dish,
cover them with spaghetti sauce and bake for 45 minutes. About
15 minutes before the eyeballs are done, fill a large pot with
3 quarts of water. Add salt.
3. Set on medium heat and follow package
directions to cook the spaghetti. Drain and transfer it to a
serving bowl and toss with the butter or margarine. When your
eyeballs are done, remove them from the oven and spoon onto
the spaghetti, irises up.
4. Spoon sauce from the pan around them.
