Pick up some of those ham steaks (Low Sodium) - the ones without the bone that come in a 2 pack and are about 1/2 inch thick. Take them out of the package and freeze individually.

1 Ham Steak - Thawed
2 potatoes - cubed not peeled
1/3 sweet onion - sliced not diced

Dribble some olive oil in a fry pan and add a little worstershire and some malt (or basalmic) vinegar
Put the potatoes in and cook on medium with a lid till they just start to soften (the color changes)
Add the onions and a little real butter (stick butter)
Add horseradish sauce & mustard (Spicy Brown) and toss to coat everything
Turn the fire down a little - recover and cook till the onions and taters are done.

I put a little A-1 into the pan and add the ham - cook that till its hot enough and coated with A-1/Mustard sauce goodness

Easy Stuffed Peppers

I like my stuffed peppers and I have a easy way to make them.
I'll share it but ya gotta promise me you will NOT use
Poisonous GREEN Peppers!

Here's What You Need

Four Peppers
(Red, Yellow, Purple, Orange, Any color but Green!)
About a Pound of Hamburger
Sweet Onion
Beef Rice-A-Roni
(Any flavor but Chicken)
(Unless you want to make Chicken Stuffed Peppers)
Four Slices of Bacon or Real Bacon Bits
(Crispy & Crushed)
A Jar of Your Favorite Spaghetti Sauce
Seasonings
(Watch the salt content)
Your Favorite Shredded Cheese
Romano/Parmesan Shaker Cheese


Here's What You Do

Brown the hamburger in a skillet for one inch chunks.
Add the seasonings you want for the meat.
Add the sliced onions and saute those in the burger grease.
Drain all that and set it aside.

In the same skillet prepare the Rice-A-Roni to box instructions with
the cooked hamburger and onions added.
(You gotta do this after you brown the vermicelli)
Once the Rice-A-Roni/Beef/Onions are cooked set that aside.

Wash, top and clean out the peppers.
Sprinkle the seasonings you want for the peppers inside
(Sparingly)
Place the peppers in a square baking dish
Spoon some rice/meat mixture into the peppers
add a light layer of the shredded cheese
add some bacon bits
Spoon some more rice/meat mixture in and repeat till the peppers are all full.
Pour the spaghetti sauce over the peppers
Spray some aluminum foil with cooking spray
Cover the stuffed peppers with the foil, spray side against the peppers

Bake at 350 till the peppers are done and the cheese is melted.
(Appx. 10-15 minutes)
Uncover and sprinkle more shredded cheese and seasonings on top of peppers
Bake another 10 minutes or so.

Serve with a crusty Italian bread
Sprinkle the Romano/Parmesan cheese on top.

Try this variation Its good too:

Substitute the beef for chicken breast
Use a chicken Rice-A-Roni flavor
Substitute the spaghetti sauce for Alfredo
Use shredded cheddar or taco blend cheese.
