Cabbage Roll Casserole

This is a recipe I found on pintrest a while back and I have adapted it to give it more flavour.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 cup chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

1 jar pasta sauce ( I used catelli garden select)

1 small cabbage, chopped

1 cup uncooked rice

1 tsp salt

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp basil

2 cups approx. of beef broth (I used Campbell's Stock first which is 480 ml)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In skillet, brown ground beef, onion and garlic until redness in beef is gone.

3. In a large bowl mix pasta sauce, cabbage, rice, salt, oregano, basil and meat mixture together.  Put everything into a 9x13 inch pan and pour broth over top. Bake in preheated oven, covered for 1 hour.  Stir, and replace cover and bake for another thirty minutes.

Slow cooker BBQ ribs

This is the first time I have used the slow cooker for this particular recipe, but it has  turned out well.  

Ingredients

2 racks pork back ribs, cut in half

2 or 3 Tbsp vegetable oil

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

2 cloves garlic, minced

A couple drops liquid smoke, optional

4 cups BBQ sauce (one large bottle - I used Cattle Boyz)

4 cups water

1 cup white vinegar

BBQ sauce for topping at end

Directions

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.  Rub vegetable oil on ribs, season with salt and pepper.  Put on cookie sheet and cook in oven for 45 minutes, turning at halftime.  Once done put ribs in slow cooker.  Add BBQ sauce, water, garlic and liquid smoke.  Cook on low for eight to 10 hours or high for six.  I was home so I did a combination of high and low.  Check to see if the bones can be wiggled out.  When they are ready, place the ribs on a cookie sheet and baste with additional BBQ sauce.  Bake them in the oven for a couple minutes, then enjoy!  Another option if it is warm (which it definetly is not right now) you can BBQ the ribs as well.
