Roxan's Stuffed Shells

2 Big Cans Tomato Sauce
1 Can Whole Tomatos (squished up, take off any hard end parts)
1/2 Green Pepper
Seasoned to taste with Onion powder, garlic salt, oregano, and parsley
1 pound hamburger
1 package Italian Sausage Weiners

Cook meat and slice sausages, combine all ingredients. Simmer for at least an hour.

One box Barilla Medium Shells Pasta (Shane only uses the Barilla brand)
One Large container of cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzerella
Italian Seasoning, Garlic Salt to taste.

Combine Cheeses and seasonings. Cook pasta shells until "al dente". Stuff Shells with cheese mixture. Put in 9x13 in. pan and cover with red sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400 F until the cheese melts.
(Just to point out, I noticed that once the pasta was cooked then frozen, and then baked, it's a little soggier than when it's cooked fresh. So if you're cooking to freeze it, don't cook the pasta all the way, it's a little harder to stuff the shells but tastes better in the end.)

The muffins were a last minute "oh shoot". So you got a box of Jiffy mix, the box has the directions...enjoy!
**Peggy, thanks for your thoughtfulness about the onions. You're soo sweet! It was delicious, as always.

Sweet BBQ Beef Sandwiches by Candria

3-4 pounds beef chuck or pork roast
2 cans coke
46 oz. can apricot nectar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tbs. worcestershire sauce
12 oz. can apricot nectar
1 small bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce

Place meat in crock pot and add 1 can of coke, o.j., salt, and w. sauce. Add enough nectar to cover roast. Cook on low 8-10 hours or until cooked through. Drain liquid, shred meat, and remove fat. Place shredded meat back in the crockpot with the bbq sauce. Add nectar and coke to taste. ( I do about half of each.) Heat through or until ready to serve. Serve on toasted buns.
This recipe is also good with a can of enchilada sauce instead of the bbq sauce, nectar & coke, and used for taco salad!
For frozen: Place frozen meat in crockpot and add sauce and liquids. ( You probably don't need the whole bottle of bbq sauce, and I would just put in a little coke and nectar for the amount of meat I gave you, or you don't have to use it at all if you don't want to! ) Heat through. Enjoy!
