Cabbage Roll Soup

Cabbage Roll Soup

This Cabbage Roll Soup is based off my Cabbage Rolls recipe. It is equally hearty and tasty as it is comforting! Made with cooked cabbage, ground beef, rice, tomato sauce and simple seasonings.

5 Ring and Braid Recipes for Stoneware

It’s no surprise that as a company that got its start in the 1980s, Pampered Chef has had a love affair (perhaps unhealthy at times) with crescent roll rings. But who could blame us? These braided sandwiches are delicious, versatile, feed a crowd, and look like works of art on a platter.
