It is Mouthwatering Monday again..........

Here it is Monday again so it is Mouthwatering Monday here on OFF.

The topic is beef. How do you fix it and what kind of beef do you fix? Is it ground beef, roast, steak or what?

Remember the rule that there is one recipe per person so we can repeat this topic and still be able to share our favorites.

So just like every Monday let's get out recipe boxes and start sharing with each other our fine recipes.

1. In a large skillet or medium stock pot, brown the beef and onion over medium heat. Drain fat. Add rice, water, diced tomatoes, and stewed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until rice is tender. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and clean out the seeds and membrane. (Note: You may have to slightly slice the bottom of the peppers to make them stand up.) Fill peppers with meat mixture.
3. Place in a casserole dish and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until peppers are as tender as you like. Served topped with spaghetti sauce.

I love beef cooked all kinds of ways.  Last week I was craving beef so bad, all I could say was "I NEED COW!"  I broil steaks and eat off them for a couple of days, roasts go in the oven or in the crock pot, ground beef is turned into meatballs, meatloaf, or spaghetti sauce.  I've learned to cook smaller amounts of beef.  Because of his high cholesterol level, George chooses not to eat much beef, he eats more fish.  This weekend I cooked ground beef with taco seasoning and added a can of drained black beans, wrapped the mixture in wheat tortillas with cheese, topped with enchillada sauce and more cheese, baked in the oven for about 20 - 30 minutes. 

One of my favorites is:

1 chuck roast
2 - 3 ribs celery, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can Hunt's light spaghetti sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
bay leaf, optional
Brown chuck roast, add chopped veggies, when the veggies are somewhat cooked, add spaghetti sauce and tomatoes.  Simmer on med-low heat until fork tender. 

I eat this sprinkled very generously with Parmesan cheese.

OK, now I've made myself hungry!
