I found this recipe in a rural newspaper years ago and have made it often. The bean bundles are excellent with chicken or beef. Sometimes I'll arrange them around a mound of wild rice to make an appetizing side dish.
The relish that accompanies these slightly spicy cakes reminds me of the pickley olive salad you get in a New Orleans muffuletta sandwich; in fact, as a variation, I like to make salmon cake sandwiches.
Cauliflower cheese is traditional English fare that is served as a main dish but can also be served as a side. Despite the name that leads one to believe that it would be a chunk of cheese that closely resembles a brain, it is truly an amazing dish. Give it a try, you'll love it.
If you want a good, basic chili recipe, this is it. No odd vegetables, or secret ingredients, just ground beef, tomatoes, red kidney beans, and the usual spices. Simple and delicious.
'This hearty meal-in-one is one of my family's favorites,' notes Doreen Kelly of Roslyn, Pennsylvania. 'It keeps well in a slow cooker as I'm often asked to bring it to gatherings.'
