Recipes

Someone wanted me to post a couple recipes for them so here they are.

Stuffed Green Peppers

1 pound ground beef

1/3 C. finely chopped onion

2 cans(8oz.ea.) tomato sauce

1/4 C. water

3 Tbs. grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/2 C. instant rice

4 medium green peppers

Brown beef and onion until done. Drain fat. Stir in 1 can tomato sauce, water, 1 Tbsp. cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in rice. Let cook for about 3 min.

Meanwhile, cut top off peppers and remove seeds and rinse. Spoon beef-rice filling into each place in baking dish with a lid. Top with remaining sauce and cheese. Heat, covered, at HIGH in microwave 10-12 min or until peppers are tender. Let stand, covered, 5 min. before serving.

I like to add more tomato sauce than is required and you can add more rice if you like also.

Next recipe is for dessert.

Mini-Cheesecakes

12 vanilla wafers

2 8oz. pkgs. cream cheese, softened

1/2 C. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

Line muffin tin with foil liners.

Place one vanilla wafer in each liner. Mix cream cheese, vanilla and sugar on medium speed until well-blended. Add eggs. Mix well. Pour over wafers, filling 3/4 full. Bake 25 min. at 325 degrees.

Remove from pan when cool. Chill. Top with fruit, preserves, nut or chocolate.

Enjoy!

My husband is on vacation this week. So, we were busy today. We have a leak in our water line so he was out there digging to try to get to it. Hopefully, he will finish it tomorrow. Our water bill has been twice what it usually is for a few months now.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.
