Runza Cassarole

I'll post the recipe once I get home. Vrai may have a recipe for the cassarole as well.

It made with cabbage, ground beef, spices, cheese, and cresant rolls. Just to give ya an idea.


Also, use the zucunni on kabobs with shrimp and fresh pineapple. While grilling up the kabobs, drizzle with a Mango marinade.

You can also chop up the squash, boil it, then mash w/ a little butter, cream, tons of pepper and a touch of salt YUM!

I also slice up tomatoes, zuchinni, squash, onions, and mince some garlic then layer in a casserole dish dot w/ butter and bake @ 450 for 25 minutes then top w/ parmesean cheese and cook until melted yummy!

You can add squash to spaghetti sauce. And you can stuff the huge zucchinis! :yum: We had some leftover sloppy joe mix from our camping trip last week, so I used it to make stuffed zucchinis (that got huge because we were away on vacation). I topped it with cheddar cheese and it was a quick meal that was good and it used up a lot of leftover stuff!

Also, I just found this zucchini idea (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/07/fried-zucchini-strings/) today!

My ex FIL sent me a ton of the stuff. More than we can eat grilled or sauteed. I made cabbage soup last night and still have a whole other head of it. I have 5 HUGE zucchinis and several yellow squash. I need ideas.


For the yellow squash

cut up in pieces (like you would a potatoe) boil just like you would potatoes. Drain
mash, with butter, salt and pepper to taste.

Even my kids love this..

Also, you can make zucchini bread. Or grate the zucchini and freeze in bags (use a recipe's worth per bag) so you can make bread later.

slice it, spread on wax paper on a cookie sheet (layer the wax paper as needed), place in freezer. Once frozen, bag. Now you can take out only what you need without thawing the entire batch.

Uhhhh, excuse me, I'm going to be away for a week or more without R, can I have one of your zucchinis. TIA :huggy:

Do you skin it first? Sounds interesting. I'll have to try this and half mash it like I do potatos. I don't like anything fully mashed. :dead: I'm super weird about consistancy! :jameo: :lol:

Sounds fabulous! :love:

Here is the recipe Vrai posted awhile back to make the sandwiches:

2 lbs ground beef
1 lg. yellow onion
1 head green cabbage
salt and pepper to taste

In a big pot (stockpot or Dutch oven), brown the ground beef with the onion, salt and pepper, crumbling as you go. Core the cabbage and chop it into thin-ish slices (not as thin as coleslaw but not big chunks). When the ground beef is done, add the cabbage and cook down until the cabbage is nice and soft.


Basically the same but I add in some garlic powder and a few other spices along with a can of cream of mushroom soup, I know that for sure. Also just put a can of cresant rolls on the bottom of a deep baking dish. Put your choice of cheese (cheddar, american, montery jack) on the bottom, pour the cooked down meat/cabbage over the top. Layer with more cheese and another can of cresant rolls. Bake in the over for about 30 minutes at 350 (I wanna say).

Uhhhh, excuse me, I'm going to be away for a week or more without R, can I have one of your zucchinis. TIA :huggy:

I'll bring you one tomorrow! It was super sweet of him to send them home but I have no clue what to do with all this stuff. Two heads of cabbage! The babe helped him pick it and I'm sure he said he doesn't like it cause he's pretty damn vocal about it at home! :lmao:

I don't skin it, some people do.
It's like wether you like skins in your mashed potatoes or not.

No you can mash them to any consistancy you would normally do for potatoes.

When I go to the grocery store and think I'm going to use them to cook, other than grilling them, most of the time they end up going bad. You'd think with Frick being a vegetarian they'd get eaten up but she's very picky about the veggies she does eat.

I did for the first time try veggie burger meat the other night. Here's what she and I made.

8 veggie burgers crumbled, cook in olive oil with parmesan cheese and italian seasoning.

Remove from pan, cut one large green pepper, one large red pepper and one onion and cook through in olive oil.

Toast hot dog buns and layer veggie meat, veggies and top with heated spaghetti sauce.

It was quite yummy and I was surprised at how good the "meat" tasted.

:lmao: Is it going to take him that long to get his truck out of the water?

:razz:


:lmao:

Good luck with the cabbage. :barf: :dead:

I don't like cabbage either but the runza cassarole really is good.

Put a couple TBS of olive oil, garlic, sliced zucchinni, yellow squash, onion mushrooms, cut up tomatoes, and italian seasonings in a foil pouch. Seal it well and grill for about 15 miuntes. YUMMY over rice or by itself!

I don't think that she was looking for ways to grill zucchini/squash. :yay:

Just offering some other alternatives to plain grilled squash.

It would also make a good main dish if you add some chicken cut into small bite sized pieces. Everything in one pouch makes for easy cleanup!

I like the idea with chicken. I have some breasts in the freezer. Don't mind Mk, he's grumpy he had to go to work today. :lol:

My coworker said she cuts up lots of veggies and tosses in a pack of taco seasoning. Put it on tortillas with some sour cream and eat. I bet it'd be good with chicken too.

I'm quite certain it will since he's off already! :lmao: Thanks for the idea, I'll pick up some charcoal on the way home.

That sounds wonderful too! We have spinach tortillas at home and chili seasoning, maybe I'll try that.

Is it good? Zucchini cake and bread interest me but I've never had either. I guess I have plenty and there would probably be no harm in trying.

Sure it is good. Chocolate Cake! You can't "taste" the zucchini, but you have the nutritional benefits. Just don't tell the kids it is in there.

Cook the cabbage down with onions and soy sauce and sear it.

I've got a yellow squash casserole I will PM you.

Throw the zucchini over by the sweet gum...:lol:

Take a couple of yellow squash and zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Cut the halves into chunks about 1/2" thick. Dice a large Vidalia onion. Heat a large fry pan until sizzling, add about 2 tbsp. olive oil and the same amount of butter. Add the diced onion, quickly saute for about a minute, then add the squash. Season with fresh herbs (or dried Italian seasoning), salt, and pepper, and cook on high for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the squash is crispy tender. Serve.

Absolutely AWESOME. :yahoo:

You can also make it in the microwave. Dice squash and onion as above, place in a large covered casserole dish, add olive oil, butter and seasonings, then nuke on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then nuke for another minute or so. :yay:

Sure. My garden is making tons of green beans, but only about one little yellow squash a week, and only one zucchini a year.

:smoochy: I :heart: you!!!! I often fry squash (both yellow and zucchini), but never tried it like this. Talk about a HIT with Hubby and I!! Who needs anything else!!! :lol:

Chop up squash/zucchini in half circles, chop onion the same
saute with cumin and lemon pepper in evoo over med
add colby jack/cheddar in at the end or just eat without cheese, a great side dish


If the cabbage is nappa saute it with fresh garlic pressed, salt, and pepper over low/med in evoo
add canned cannellini beans to warm through after cabbage has almost wilted, also a side dish :yum:
