Cathy Richards Round Steak Casserole

2 lbs round steak, cut into pieces
1 med. Onion, chopped
1 can of mushrooms, drained
Green olives, sliced
1 can tomato sauce
Ketchup
Worcestershire sauce
Egg noodles
Cheddar cheese

Cook steak in covered pan. Drain. Add mushrooms, olives, tomato sauce, ketchup, & Worcestershire sauce. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour.  Cook and drain noodles. Pour noodles into greased baking dish.  Pour steak mixture over and top with cheese.  Bake at 325 degrees for 30 min.

*I have substituted with penne pasta, pizza sauce, and Colby cheddar cheese (that's what I had on hand) and it was still delicious! I also only cooked the sauce for 30 minutes instead of 1 hr.

Sausage Fried Rice

2 cups cooked white rice
1 lb. Sausage cooked with chopped onions and 3 crushed/chopped garlic cloves, + diced red pepper, drained and set aside.
Steamed carrots & peas, or steamed mixed vegetables-chopped
4 eggs
Sesame oil
Canola oil
Soy sauce

To a hot pan with 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp. Canola oil, add the vegetables and fry/cook for a couple minutes while stirring. Push to edge of pan and scramble eggs in middle.  Then add sausage mixture and rice. Add 3 tbsp. Soy sauce and black pepper. Stir and fry/cook for 5 - 10 minutes.

*I do double this recipe when the boys are home and add a few extra eggs.
*You can also use cooked chicken or pork in place of the sausage.
