sherri's Notes:

This dish has evolved over the years! When I first made it in the 70's I served it over NOODLES. Then one nite I found I had no noodles so I served it over RICE!! Then one nite I walked into the kitchen and my husband and his friend were eating it like a SLOPPY JOE!!!! So as you can see this is a VERY versatile dish! That you can do almost ANYTHING you want with it, thus the name! (don't forget about the potato!!!! Hope you all try and enjoy!

Directions

brown ground beef in dutch oven, or you favorite heavy bottom pan, Drain. Add beef back to pan and add peppers onion,cabbage and garlic. Cook over med heat until vegetables begin to soften, stirring often

Add seasonings to meat a vegetables, stir them in and let flavors bloom for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Add tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, stir them in well. Simmer on low on the stovetop for 10 or 15 minutes, or if your like me and on the run, and everyone wants to eat at different times, THROW it in the crock-pot on low!! Everyone can feed themselves! And the longer this simmers the better it gets!!! Serve over cooked noodles (or in the kitchen with a buddy,as a sandwich:)))! ENJOY!

Thank you Bea! This definitely is a vegetable heavy dish, you could actually make it meatless and maybe add some mushrooms!!! See what I mean about this dish, DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH ME!!! The possibilities are endless. Hope you give it a try. :))))))

Becky, I posted a picture of the package. This is really a good seasoning to add to your spice cabnit. I always keep a box on hand to add to soups, stews and all sorts of dishes. Just gives the recipe "a little something extra!!!!" I know your really going to fall in love with it, and it's CHEEP!!!! Maybe $1.97 or so. ENJOY!
