This meal was a culmination of odds and ends that managed to tie me over until payday. With a little imagination and a bit of know how, it became a dish that I am sure to make again.
COOKING TIPS
The layering technique
The ingredients with the most moisture should go on top so that the sauces trickle down to the less moist ingredients. With this recipe your layers should go as follows:
Top
Soy sauce
Beef and pepper mixture
Broccoli
Rice
Bottom
SHOPPING TIPS
I like to take advantage of the 10 for $10 sale at Kroger’s and other food chains that have this special. Buying bacon or sausage rolls full price is not within my budget. I can swing $1. Until October 5th the 10 for $10 sale includes items such as: canned salmon, chunk salmon canned in water, smoked or polish sausage, fabric softeners, Dole salad mix, mini peeled carrots and a bunch of other things. I don’t know about you but I’ll be at Kroger before the 5th to take advantage of these sales.
