I have not made those in a very long time!

There was some beautiful peppers at the market so I couldn't resist. My boyfriend will be thrilled. I'm bummed cause I couldn't open my pimento jar and I love adding that splash of red..so now I just have to wait til he gets home to add the cheese and one whole olive on the tops and Dinner is served!

It makes sense though, you are barely into the off season.

Thanks Ron, I think I'm still catching up on my sleep

Me neither, and we always enjoyed them. Going to have to update my grocery list to get the stuff for them.

Thanks for the idea @Jacquie Button

You probably have most of the items...I wanted to get a bit fancy with mine but my Boyfriend is soooooo normal! Lol! I did change it up a bit....he needs a little spice in his life!

Did you try piercing the lid with a knife? That breaks the seal and makes the jar easier to open. You can cover the hole up with scotch tap

I did make cabbage casserole recently--It was a big hit! Some of the old recipes are still very good

I don't think I have ever had cabbage casserole? I love cabbage.

I'm missing a key ingredient...the peppers!

We used to have a huge garden in FL and peppers by the bushel. Stuffed peppers (and any other way we could fix them) was a favorite!

Thanks for the reminder

No I hit it on the counter..it kind of felt like the jar had maybe leaked? I always have jars of pimentos and of course today I had one goofy one...Ugh!

I don't think I have ever had cabbage casserole? I love cabbage.

Ingredients

About 1 kg (~2½ lbs) minced meat, I've got about 1 third pork and two thirds beef
340g (3/4 lbs) bacon
3 large or 5 medium onions
3 kg (6-7 lbs) cabbage
3 dl (a bit over a cup) cream
2 beef stock cubes
salt
pepper

and what I forgot from the picture:
a couple of eggs
Dijon mustard

Instructions:

Fry the chopped onions in a bit of oil (salt them in the beginning) on a mild heat until it's soft. Fry the bacon bits (bacon is easy to cut into small pieces with a scissor), and the minced meat. Season the meat with the stock cubes, mustard, salt and pepper. Cut the cabbage into thin strips, to make things easier you might want to throw the strips in a deep pan with a lid on and some water for a while to soften them up. Combine everything in some oven safe pans, and put into the oven, about 175C (350F). You can add a cup of water or two, and turn the cabbage and meat around every once in a while. After about an hour in the oven, stir the cream and eggs together, and pour into the pan(s). Half an hour more, and it should be ready to eat.

Serve with boiled potatoes (optional) and crushed lingonberries or lingonberry jam.

I usually use two deep frying pans for the meat, and then I steam the cabbage in them with the lid on for a while before combining everything, it's easier to get everything to fit once the cabbage has softened a bit.

Ok since this is about baking, and I just made the stuffed bell peppers, does anyone make tamale pie? Pretty much the same ingredients (give or take) just with that yummy corn bread on top.

That is something I'm definitely going to try, sounds yummy. Plus my lovely other half is obsessed with boiled potatoes!
