Delicious and inexpensive. A combo you don't see that often.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Easy Cabbage Casserole
Servings: 8
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 medium cabbage shredded and bagged cabbage or coleslaw mix works great and saves this step
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced (more if you like)
  • 1 eggs beaten or 1 egg substitute
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup cooked rice
Sauce
  • 1 14 oz can stewed tomatoes
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 10 ounces condensed tomato soup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne more if you like (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg fresh ground is best
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Saute onion and garlic in a large skillet for about a minute. Add meat and cook, stirring often, until meat is no longer pink. Drain well and let cool to room temperature.
  2. When meat has cooled add egg, milk and rice.
  3. Meanwhile, remove tough outer leaves from cabbage & remove core. Shred cabbage if not using a bag of shredded cabbage. Saute the cabbage in the same skillet used before.
  4. In a large bowl mix all the sauce ingredients together. Place some of this mixture in the bottom of a sprayed 10x13 casserole dish so you have a nice layer of sauce. Try not to use more than half though.
  5. Layer half the cabbage on top of the sauce. Layer all the meat on top of the cabbage. Top with remaining cabbage and then finish by pouring all the remaining sauce on top.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Enjoy!

Melt in Your Mouth Oven Barbecue Ribs

This Oven Barbecue Ribs Recipe is my go to recipe when the weather doesn’t cooperate for an outside BBQ. It’s fairly easy and the results are excellent!

Oven Barbecue Ribs

I love to BBQ and ribs are one of my favorites. Just about every weekend I fire up the grill for something. Occasionally, however, the weather doesn’t cooperate.

On those occasions I turn to my oven. This is my go-to oven barbecue ribs recipe!

It’s one of those recipes that you almost have to try in order to believe.

Rib meat is fairly tough, and it needs a long time to break down and become tender. The oven is actually an ideal environment for this kind of slow and steady cooking.

Lifting the ribs above the baking sheet on a rack also lets the heat circulate on all sides. After a few hours, the meat is nearly falling off the bone and you’ll be licking BBQ sauce off your fingers.

Be sure to Like Foodgasm Recipes on Facebook and Foodgasm on Pinterest for more great recipes.

Melt in Your Mouth Oven Barbecue Ribs
Ingredients
  • 4 to 5 pounds spare ribs or baby back ribs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 cup spice rub like this one
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a cooling rack on top. Lay the ribs on top of the rack in a single layer. This arrangement allows for heat circulation on all sides of the ribs.
  2. Mix the mustard and the liquid smoke and brush the ribs on both sides. Sprinkle the ribs with the dry rub and pat gently to make sure the rub adheres to the rib meat.
  3. Note: This step can be done the day ahead for a deeper flavor. Wrap the seasoned ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  4. Heat the broiler and place an oven rack a few inches below the heating element. Make sure the meaty side of the ribs is facing up. Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes, until the sugar in the dry rub is bubbling and the ribs are evenly browned.
  5. Set the oven to 300°F. Move the ribs to an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours for spare ribs or 1 1/2 to 2 hours for baby back ribs. Halfway through cooking, cover the ribs with aluminum foil to protect them from drying out.
  6. About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce, re-cover with foil, and finish cooking.
  7. The ribs are done when a knife slides easily into the thickest part of the rib meat. Let them rest, covered, for about 10 minutes, and then cut between the bones to separate the individual ribs.
  8. Serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.

Enjoy!

I cook pan seared chicken breasts sometimes. But when you get right down to it plain pan seared chicken breasts can be boring. I have them when I’m in a hurry because they’re quick and easy. But when I want something really tasty or to impress guests I have to kick breasts up a notch.

Like these Chicken Bacon Bombs. Believe me these babies are not boring!!!

What you’ve got here is jalapeno peppers stuffed with two cheeses tucked inside a chicken breast and then wrapped with bacon.

Quick to throw together and totally delicious. Perfect for the backyard BBQ or to serve at your couchgatin’ party. This is definitely party time fare.
