Sausage

Request for Stuffed Peppers

The usual way to stuff peppers is to mix ground (minced) beef onions and rice and stuff peppers with that. For a change of pace I suggest you saute an onion, cook rice in tomato juice instead of water. Then add frozen peas and carrots, a can of sliced mushrooms and a large portion of cheese that has...

What do you do with cabbage?

Stuffed cabbage leaves take a lot of time and don't use much cabbage. Cabbage soup is good but this it the wrong time of year. I think I'll make cole slaw. Sign in to see full entry.
