My fly by the seat of your pants Crock Pot Easy Cabbage Roll Casserole.
it was a bit bland so i think next time i might try mom's secret... a pack of onion soup mix in with the meat instead of the garlic/salt/pepper.
Ingredients:
1-2 pound extra lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
about 3 cups tomato sauce, no sugar added
about a cup of V8 juice, low sodium
1 can tomato soup
1/2 - 3/4 cup uncooked minute rice
1 small head cabbage, chopped
Directions:
In large skillet, combine beef, onion, garlic and salt and pepper.
Coo****il browned. Drain excess fat. Mix in the rice and tomato sauce.
Layer 1/2 meat and then 1/2 cabbage in cooker, Top with remaining meat and then the cabbage. Pour tomato soup over all and mix a bit. Add the V8 in too for a bit more moisture.
Mix well. Cook on high for 2 hours then on low for about 3-4 hours.

Topic: RE: Recipe Website
Love the pics with the recipe. I'm a very visual person and it always helps to see pics of the food I am going to make that I'm not famaliar with. My only constructive criticism would be to add nutritional information. THEN it would be PERFECT! :)

do you think I could make this with ricotta cheese? I hate cottage cheese :(
Topic: RE: Yellow Chicken - What The Heck?
When I was in Istanbul, Turkey I noticed the difference in the color of the chickens and the color of the broth. It is much more flavorful and the chickens have more healthy fat on them.

Here's a recipe I came up with recently. Hope you like!
Creamy Spinach and Chicken Pot Pie
Ingredients
4 chicken breast halves
1 cup of milk (I used Fat Free Lactaid)
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
1 tbsp Kosher Salt
1/2 tbsp Black Pepper
1 egg (beaten)
2 cans of Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls
1/2 bag of frozen chopped spinach or 1 whole bag of fresh spinach (chopped)
1-7 oz package of Green Giant Healthy Vision slice carrots, zucchini, green beans in a rosemary butter sauce
1 cup of frozen corn
1 small sweet onion (chopped)
10 baby carrots (sliced)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Cornstarch
2 tbsp Light Butter
2 tbsp Chicken Bouillon dissolved in 1 cup of Water
Preheat oven to 375°
In a small bowl mix your garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Heat a large pot. Chop your chicken into 1" cubes. Add butter to the pot and then chicken. Season chicken with half of your seasoning mix. While chicken is browning chop your onion and slice your carrots. Once your chicken has browned add onions and carrots to help deglaze the pot. When onions are translucent add frozen spinach, corn and mixed veggie package, along with the rest of your seasoning mix. Once everything is heated through add your bouillon water and stir. Bring to a boil. Dissolve the cornstarch in the milk and slowly add to the pot, stirring continously. Once it has thickened turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Transfer mixture to a 9x13 casserole deep dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Now it's time to top it with the crescent dough. Pinch the seams together and lay over the top, brush the top with the beaten egg (if you'd like sprinkle a little parmesan after you have brushed on the egg) . Bake for 30 minutes or until you have a nice dark golden crust. Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
