Ground Beef Casserole – Mrs. Geraldine’s Recipe

I love this Ground Beef Casserole recipe! It tastes a lot unhealthier than it is. It’s from a local church cookbook and is by famous local Mrs. Geraldine.

 

The only downside of this dish is because it’s so tasty, we tend to eat more than a portion at a time.

This recipe freezes well. Do not bake before freezing. Just put it together, freeze it, thaw it and cook.

Cabbage Sausage Skillet With A Twist

This Cabbage Sausage Skillet With A Twist is a must-try recipe! I make cabbage and sausage often! It’s a cheap, nutritious and filling dinner that also just happens to be super yummy.

This dish is incredibly easy to make and so tasty! The sum of its parts shouldn’t equal such good taste but it does!

Smoked sausage, onion, cabbage and some hot and spicy Rotel Tomatoes cooked up in a skillet. It just doesn’t get any easier than that!

The Rotel tomatoes are everything here because any smoked sausage is always better when kicked up a notch with a little heat, right?

It’s also a great meat stretcher dish. The sausage and tomatoes are flavoring for the cabbage.

Do you want to stretch it even further? Add some cooked wide egg noodles. When I add noodles I usually cook half of a one-pound package. That’s about right for me!

I love Rotel tomatoes and I don’t know why I’ve never thought to add them to this dish before.

This with a slice of cornbread and you’ve got a top-notch meal! Awesome!!
