Amish Country Casserole

Stove-top Tuna Casserole

Stove-top Tuna Casserole

Casseroles are traditionally baked, and topped with crusty crackers and cheese, but this is a classic working-mom, one-pot, stove-top tuna casserole that can have dinner in their bellies in less than 30 minutes.

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers

If you don’t like eating your veggies, try these stuffed bell peppers. I like using red pepper & green bell peppers, but what’s best is what’s stuffed inside! Ground beef, rice, tomatoes and a sweet Ketchup sauce on top… This recipe is based on Dad’s …
