This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Prilosec OTC. The opinions and text are all mine.
There is nothing like homemade spaghetti and meatballs, right? But when you have frequent heartburn like I do, when I eat something like that, I need to make sure I won’t have heartburn afterwards. I’ve suffered from heartburn for a while, so frankly I do anything I can to avoid that feeling – it feels like lava is running down and up my throat and unfortunately, it’s happened to me way too many times.

My frequent heartburn made me pretty miserable. I found myself avoiding many of my favorite foods so I wouldn’t have heartburn like spaghetti and meatballs and pizza. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I knew that certain foods made me feel awful afterwards. My mother has had heartburn for years and she took over-the-counter antacid tablets, but those didn’t make me feel better. Frequent heartburn would also keep me from sleeping at night! I was teaching at the time, so I needed to make sure I was at my best all day and heartburn was preventing that. So, I spoke to my doctor, who suggested I try Prilosec OTC and I felt better! While I am taking my Prilosec OTC, I can again enjoy my famous spaghetti and meatballs or eating pizza. Homemade Spaghetti and Meatballs | The Mama Maven Blog
To make my Spaghetti and Meatballs, you’ll need:
Ingredients:
3lbs ground beef
3 eggs
5 cloves of garlic
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup parmesan
Basil to taste
Oregano to taste
Olive oil to coat frying pan
3 Jars of marinara sauce
1 package of whole grain spaghetti
Instructions:
1. Mix first 7 ingredients together. Form balls in your hand and place back in a bowl.
2. Fry meatballs until browned on all sides (make sure to turn them).
Line the pot with marinara sauce and then layer the meatballs in. Cook meatballs for at least 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes on a low heat.
While that’s cooking, make your spaghetti (or rotini if you prefer).
Drain and layer spaghetti in a bowl. Ladle meatballs on top.
Finish with shredded parmesan.
Enjoy!

I love a good spaghetti recipe! I’ll be making this over the weekend for sure! Looks yummy!
My kids love it when it is spaghetti night! There is a reason it is such a classic, always delicious! Sometimes I get lazy and just add ground beef to the sauce, but making it with meatballs is always so much better!
