Put about 1/2 tsp pizza sauce on half the squares, and top with the same amount of cheese. Take the plain squares and place them on top of the squares with sauce, cheese and pepperoni and pinch the seams closed. Press fork tines around the edges of the squares to close the seams completely.

Sweet Victory Spaghetti Sauce
Feb 5th
This Spaghetti Sauce is something everyone loves. It is on the thick and sweet side.
I use it for Spaghetti, Stuffed Shells, and dipping just about anything into!
Use it for meatball hoagies, dipping bread sticks into or how about just meatballs and sauce!
I make more than one batch of this recipe and freeze the rest.
So much better than jar sauce and is extremely easy to make.

Porcupine Stuffed Peppers
Feb 5th
I thought I would try something new and mix the idea of Porcupine Balls (meatloaf type balls with rice), and Stuffed Peppers. It was a very dense ball of meat. Two of my children did not like them but that is because one doesn’t like onions and peppers and the other doesn’t eat much meat.
-
Porcupine Stuffed Peppers
-
For the filling:
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 piece of bread broken up
1 bag pre-cooked rice
Salt & pepper to taste
-
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
-
You will need 3 medium size green peppers. Remove the seeds and membrane from the inside of the peppers. Place into a casserole dish.
-
I did slice some sides off the peppers to make them even. I then chopped that up and took some chopped onion and added it to the above filling.
-
For the Sauce:
29 oz can of Red Pack tomato sauce
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
-
Open the can of sauce. Add the italian seasoning and slowly mix it together. Yup, right in the can!
-
Pour the sauce over the dish of peppers.
-
Cover with foil. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and continue to bake until meat is cooked through, about 15 more mintues.

Serves: 6
