A meat specialty consisting of cooked beef and pork that has been pressed into a loaf and generously seasoned with chopped red and green peppers. It is generally sliced and served cold as deli meat.
The potato baked with zucchini (squash), red bell pepper, onion, carrot, garlic and some meat is popular in Eastern Europe. (It is cooked in Poland and Hungary, in Ukraine and Czech Republic) In each region it has different twist though. Even in my family it is cooked differently. I like to experiment. I cook it with meatballs and sometimes with meat (beef, pork or chicken); I cook it even with bacon.
The beauty of this recipe that it is impossible to spoil, seriously, if you aren not the perfect cook or if you are just short of time (and guests are about to arrive) this dish will just save you.
Ingredients included in this recipe are green peppers (medium), onion, chopped (large), ground chuck, Salt, garlic salt, cooked rice (I use minute rice).
