Cabbage Rolls Recipe

This recipe for cabbage rolls is from my mother-in-law.  When I married her son, I asked her to share with me some of his favorite recipes so that I could “make it like Mom made it”.  My hubby always appreciates it when I take the time to make his mom’s Cabbage Rolls, which always makes me happy too!  I hope you enjoy the recipe. 🙂

 

Cabbage Roll Filling Ingredients:

1 pound ground chuck
1 cup cooked rice
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 small onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
dash of salt & pepper
dash of garlic powder
dash of cayenne pepper
Steamed cabbage leaves

Cabbage Rolls Sauce Ingredients:

2 cups tomato sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
dash of garlic

Mix uncooked meat, cooked rice, onion, peppers and seasonings in a large bowl.  Place some meat mixture in the middle of a cabbage leaf and roll up.  (like you’d roll up a burrito)

Place the cabbage rolls in a 9×13″ glass baking dish or cast iron bakeware.  Pour sauce over the top.  Cover baking dish with foil.  Bake in a 350º F oven for 40 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.

Pita Pizzas

 

One of my favorites is Barbeque Chicken Pita Pizzas.  To make, use barbeque sauce instead of tomato sauce and top pizza with Monterey Jack cheese, shredded cooked chicken and bacon crumbles.

Hawaiian Pita Pizza:

Top pizza with tomato sauce, diced cooked ham,, pineapple tidbits and mozzarella cheese.

Have fun with this Pita Pizza Recipe.  One year for my daughter’s birthday slumber party, I did custom pita pizzas for each girl and gave them a little menu card to check off what toppings they liked.  It was a big hit!  Everyone loves Pita Pizzas!

Fantastic Baked Fish

Fantastic Baked Fish

 

Tonight I made this fabulous baked fish dinner.  With home cooked food this good, who needs to go out to dinner?!  The next time you’re in the mood for fish, try this very easy and elegant fish recipe.  It’s impressive enough to serve guests. Don’t be surprised when they beg for the recipe – yes, it’s that good!

Elegant Baked Fish Recipe:

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Chef Prudhomme’s Blackened Redfish Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
8 fish fillets
Panko bread crumbs

In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients.  Blend well.

Place the fish fillets in a large baking dish.  Spread the mayonnaise mixture over all the fillets.  Sprinkle with bread crumbs.  Bake fish in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 15 minutes.  (If you have a convection oven, turn on for the last 5 minutes or if not, use your broiler for a few minutes, until the bread crumbs are lightly browned.)

Serve over rice pilaf with steamed broccoli.

The first time I made this baked fish recipe, my son told me, “You blew this fish right out of the water!”  Lol!.  What a nice compliment, I think…

Don’t forget to share this on facebook and Pinterest! 

Thanks for stopping by my blog and sharing this awesome recipe. 🙂
