Clark's Chicken God-Noodle-Damn Soup

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

1 alarm clock

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 slices bread, crumbled
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 clove garlic, smashed, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 jars Newman's Own Sockarooni spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 green peppers, cut into strips

1/2 cup chopped mushrooms

1 can Campbell's Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

• Set alarm clock for one hour earlier than you usually get up.
• Get up when it goes off and go into kitchen.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly; add milk and bread and let stand for about 5 minutes.
• Add ground beef, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix gently until well blended.
• Shape into about 24 meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Place meatballs in a generously greased large shallow baking pan.
• Bake meatballs at 450° for 25 minutes.
• Get ready for work while meatballs are baking.
• Put meatballs, spaghetti sauce, onions, peppers and mushrooms in large crockpot.
• Set on crockpot on "low" and go to work for 8 hours.
• Anticipate all day long the delicious aroma that will greet you when you get home and what a perfect beginning to the weekend that will be.
• Arrive home and think "that's odd, I thought it would smell stronger than that".
• Discover that crockpot was never plugged in.
• Swear.
• Open can of chicken noodle soup and nuke it in the microwave.
• Continue swearing
• Serve in your favorite unnecessarily large cereal bowl in an attempt to compensate for the bitter disappointment and anger churning in your stomach (note: it won't work).
