Grandma Jewell's Cabbage Casserole

1lb ground beef
1 small onion
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup raw rice
1 can tomato sauce (big can)
soup can size of water
salt/pepper/garlic powder to taste

Brown ground beef and onion in a small amount of shortening. Layer cabbage, ground beef and rice, ending with chopped cabbage in a sprayed 9x13 pan.

ok, the recipe just ended,, what about the tomato sauce grandma!! lol!!! pour tomato sauce over layers. I baked this at 350,, she doesn't have written down for how long,i would think until the cabbage is cooked through. You can always play around w/the sauce,, add your own touch,, I think I would add some worcestershire sauce to it. I have made this,, it's yummy

Italian Barbecue's

1 lb ground beef
1 lb Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
3/4 cup Italian salad dressing

12 sandwich rolls or hamburg buns if you want larger sandwiches. (sandwich rolls are good for parties)
12 slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese

Brown meat together and set aside

Place 1/3 of the onions and peppers in crockpot, top with 1/2 the meat mixture, repeat layers with remaining veggies and meat.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes.  Pour dressing over the top, cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Creamy Chicken & Noodles in a Crockpot

1 package boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup butter
42 oz. of chicken broth
1 bag of Reames Frozen Noodles (in the frozen section by the fries)

In a crockpot layer:

cut up raw chicken into pieces
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup butter sliced
about 4 cans of chicken broth, or you can buy the box

cook on low for 7 hours, or high for about 4, when done stir it up then add the frozen noodles and cook about another hour. if it's to thick for you, add more broth,, if it's to soupy 
well you probably used to much broth,, can thicken it w/a water and flour mixture, or add more cream of chicken soup. salt and pepper and garlic salt

this is WONDERFUL kids love it!

Brown hamburg with onion and celery and drain. Add all other ingredients, I don't measuring I just keep adding and tasting.  I usually have to play with the ketchup, mustard and brown sugar. It all depends if you like it tangy, sweet, or tomato flavor.

Sauce: Mix tomato sauce, beef broth, 1/4 cup green pepper, 1/4 cup onion, 1/4 cup tomato, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp chili powder. bring to boil and let simmer until meat is done. i usually have to make a little more of this, the red sauce i always seem to run out of.

Mix brown gravy packs in a saucepan

Wrap meat, and whatever you want inside, tomato, onion, cheese, lettuce, pour desired amout of sauce over the burrito, then the brown gravy and LOAD THAT BURRITO WITH CHEESE! pop it in the microwave for about 1 min. 20 secs. or until cheese is nice and melted!
