Meatball Deathstar: Superbowl Edition

As i posted earlier, I am a pretty big fan of EpicMealTime, and since their "Meatball Deathstar" seemed pretty palatable, I thought that I would try my hand at making it during Superbowl Sunday.

For those of you who don't know about EpicMealTime/The Meatball Deathstar, here is the source material.

Here is the end result.

 In this image is 5 pounds of beef (3 pounds made up the deathstar, 2 pounds of was in the meatsauce that was in and around the deathstar. 2 pounds of tortellini, and about 10 rolls that were halved and covered in garlic butter, and cheese. (You currently can't see all the bread because it was being eaten over the period of the day)

It was a lot of fun to make, and we even took video, when I eventually, work on the video, it will be put up. But I didn't make this beast on my own, I had the help of my friend Dan, and we had taste testers also!

Here is a quick set of photos which document the cooking process

Seasoning the Meat, Pasta and Meat sauce is cooked.

Prepping that meat by beating it.

Dan watches as I beat and shape the meat

Meat is cooked, but needs to be drained of all its juices

Deathstar is drained, flipped into pyrex expertly by Dan.

We wonder what to do with our mad creation

We know what to do... Cover it in cheese

Hungry Ev eagerly awaits his meal

Girl friends willing to taste crazy concoctions, thats true love.

Can't get enough of that meat

Passes the test of my lovely gf :)

Well those are the images documenting the creation of the meat beast, and all in all it was quite delicious, unfortunately it did not last long after that as what ever was not eaten was left in the fridge for a good few days, so unfortunately it had to get tossed, but all in all, twas a good meal.
