AMISH CABBAGE & POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown ground chuck, onions and garlic in a skillet. Drain. Mix in catsup and set aside.
• In a 2 quart baking dish, layer 1/2 of the cabbage, then 1/2 of the potatoes, and salt & pepper to taste.
• Layer the Velveeta cheese slices on top.
• Then spread on all of the meat mixture.
• Add another layer of the cabbage, then another layer of potatoes and salt & pepper to taste. Arrange pats of butter evenly on top.
• Pour milk over entire casserole and bake, COVERED, for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours in a preheated 350 degree oven.

AMISH SWEET AND SOUR RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, cook the bacon, onion, and apples over medium-low heat until onions are limp, about 3 minutes. Add the cabbage. Cook about 10 minutes, uncovered, over medium heat until the cabbage wilts, stirring now and then. Add the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. The cabbage should be moist, but not juicy. If liquid accumulates, remove lid at the end of the cooking period to cook off some liquid.
• If sauerkraut is not served at a holiday table, this might be a very delicious substitute. The addition of bacon to the traditional sweet-and-sour red cabbage gives it smoky undertones. This can be made in advance and reheated.
• For vegetarians, substitute a LITTLE smoke flavor for the bacon.
