what's Hungarian mushroom soup? Does it have lots of paprika?

Some...I put in a teaspoon...it also has dill & sour cream.

Anybody make a stuffed cabbage casserole? I've been looking up recipes, but they all call for instant rice, and I want to use regular rice.

Don't see why it would matter, it's cooked before you mix it in the meat.

Pork chops in the crock pot, baked taters, green beans and broccoli.

STUFFED CABBAGE CASSEROLE
1 med. cabbage, cut up
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 c. uncooked rice
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cans tomato soup
1 soup can water

Place cabbage in greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Brown beef and onion. Stir in rice and place mixture on the cabbage. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Combine soup and water and pour over all. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

or another I found:

Arrange 1/2 beef mixture on top, cover with another 1/3 of cabbage. Top with remaining beef mixture and remaining cabbage. Pour tomato sauce mixture over the top, do not stir. Casserole will be quite full. Let it stand at room temperature for about 20 min.

Bake in 325°F oven for 2 hours without stirring.

No you don't cook the rice before adding it in the casserole, but you have to be careful that you have enough liquid in the there the entire time it's cooking or you'll end up with crunchy rice

Wow Celeste, thank you. I didn't want to cook the rice first. Some recipes didn't cook the beef first either, but I will do that. I think I like the tomato soup for the sauce.

There are several pages worth of recipes @ cooks.com

Last night I made meatloaf in a bag (love the clean up), garlic mashed taters, fresh steamed swiss chard and for dessert I made fruit filled pastry's.
The cookbook showed them made with peaches but son doesn't care for peaches so I made them with apple and raspberries.
1) picture in the book
2 & 3) are ones I made

Ooh I might have to change from a Boston creme pie to a pastry
Nice job!
I don't like cleaning the mixer after making meatloaf, never thought of a bag.

My family loved it!!!

Oh it's cooked in a bag, I thought it was mixed in a bag. Wondered how it would mix well enough, but still like the idea.

You add milk, egg and seasoned bread crumbs to the season packet they give you and mix with the hamburg. Shape into loaf with hands, place it in the bag and cook. You can add taters and veggies in the bag too if you want.

Looking forward to receiving my Celeste Meals by Mail!! ^_^

LOL!

I signed up first! Son left me a note yesterday to make Sheherd's Pie....Never made it, because Doug remembered it from school lunch days.....well, I made it, but since I never tasted it, don't know how it turned out....

I love shepherd's pie

oops wrong thread! that was weird!

I always made my stuffed cabbage rolls with cooked rice and raw ground beef. That's the way my MIL made them, then covered them in tomato sauce.

Celeste I used the pot roast in a bag by McCormick last week and it was delicious! Will have to give the meatloaf one a try. Your pastries look scrumptious...recipe please!

Leftover meatball and rigatoni tonight, apple pie cooling for later.

Beef/veggie stew with baking powder biscuits on top.

+1 for shepherd's pie. The best I remember was served in a pub in Stratford, CA, after a late show at the Shakespeare festival.

Happy, happy to your son, Jumper! I need to make potato pancakes....my Mom made them frequently.

I haven't had to cook once since I've been here. Someone set up a schedule for a month. It has been a real blessing!!

and if you can do it in 3rds beef, veal and pork, even better!
