Oh, I almost forgot. I promised Jenny I would post this recipe. I love this dish. It's easy to make, inexpensive and really quite tasty. Even if you don't normally like cabbage you might consider giving this a try.
1 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
1 packet French onion soup mix
1 egg
breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add enough breadcrumbs/crackers until it's the consistency you like (however you would make meatloaf). Press mixture into the bottom of a sprayed casserole dish.
layer in either 2 sliced or shredded potatoes (you can use frozen potatoes...they cook faster and can save you a lot of time). I usually lightly salt and pepper this layer.
take 1 medium onion sliced and layer over potatoes.
take 1c. shredded carrots and layer over the onions.
take 1/2 to 1 head of cabbage (depending on how big it is) and chop it into bit sized pieces. Layer on top of carrots. You want a good layer here because the cabbage will cook down considerably. Again, I normally will lightly salt and pepper this layer.
Cover the cabbage completely with tomato juice. Bake @ 400 degrees for 1.5 hours or until veggies are fully cooked and tender. Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes and eat.
** If you'd like you could add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese between the meatloaf and potatoes.
** This can also be made with a white sauce instead of the tomato juice. I'll sometimes take 1 can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of celery soup, 2 c. milk and pour that over instead. Bake the same and enjoy!
If you guys try this let me know what you think!
