Homemade McChicken

M cChicken sandwich, spicy or regular, has always been a household favorite until McDonalds started adding crap to the recipe. I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 years old, things have def changed from then to now. Season it how you wish, I just throw a bunch of spices in and call it good! Does not matter what you use.  You Will Need: Ground Chicken Garlic Powder Onion Powder Paprika  Breadcrumbs  Flour Egg Wash Mayo Buns Lettuce Tomato After you form patties, freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Once frozen, dip in flour, egg then bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown and 165 degrees temp reached inside. 

Spaghetti Sauce

Spaghetti is a family favorite so I figured I would share my favorite recipe for sauce (with meatballs!) I mean come on it has meatballs you know you want to try this recipe! You can change out the ground meat with whatever. I have made this often with ground beef, and a mix of ground meat and ground pork (mild). But this is as basic and as simple as it comes, nothing crazy about it.

You Will Need:


3-6 tsp Homemade Italian Seasoning (to taste)
Homemade Meatballs
1/2 Onion, chopped
Olive Oil
1 lb Ground Meat
1 Can Tomatoes, diced
1 Can Tomato Sauce
1 tsp Garlic, fresh
Salt & Pepper, to taste



Dice your onions


Add garlic, onion, and olive oil in a stock pot


Add salt


Add pepper


Cook until translucent 


Add ground meat


Cooking until browned


Drain off extra grease (when I use turkey I leave the olive oil because it gives it a deeper flavor to the sauce; if you use hamburger meat drain for sure)


Add tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes (I also added basil, parsley and garlic salt)


Let Simmer then add spices


Add your Italian seasoning, adjusting to your taste


I used homemade meatballs I had fully cooked frozen, I added them in and let this simmer for 2 hours
