Tie for Second Place in the WALLABIE'S FIBRO-FRIENDLY RECIPES Contest

1 large package Mahatma red beans and rice mix
1 large onion diced - or package frozen chopped onions
1 pound or more any variety smoked sausage - like Hilshire Farms - cut into pieces - can have the meat guy at the market slice it for you.
Tabasco or other hot sauce to taste.

Combine all ingredients in a large casserole dish and follow the microwave cooking directions on the Mahatma package. Serve with a salad or vegetable, maybe some crusty French bread and a bottle of Tabasco sauce for those that like it hot.

PEPSI R0AST

1 medium to large roast (should be flat on top)
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 package of Brown Onion Gravy Mix
1 16-ounce Pepsi (can use Diet if you so desire)

Place your roast in a crock pot, spread soup on top of roast and sprinkle gravy mix on top of the soup. Slowly pour the Pepsi around the sides (ONLY) of the roast. I then cook mine all day on low. You can buy the cheapest cuts of roast because they will literally fall to pieces when done. This is a family favorite at my house.

MARINATED FLANK STEAK

4 flank steaks (have butcher tenderize--even if he says they will shred)
12-16 fresh mushrooms, sliced (canned will do)
1/2 cup green onions, diced
4 slices mozzarella cheese
butter to saute

Marinade:
1 can (46 oz.) pineapple juice
1/3 qt. red table wine (or same amount of coke-even diet coke)
1/4 qt. soy sauce (soy light is fine--less sodium)
1/8 cup garlic (optional as far as my stomach is concerned)
1/4 TBS. Lawry's Season Salt

Preparation: Combine the marinade ingredients in large bowl. Add flank steaks, (skin and fat removed). Place in refrigerator for 24-36 hours. When ready to cook, broil the steaks to your preference. Saute mushrooms (or open can) and green onions (another stomach option)in butter. Slice the steaks across the grain and top with the mushrooms and green onions. Top with cheese and bake in hot oven until the cheese melts. Serves four.

This is really easy since it can be done "over time". Let someone else put it on the grill. And make at least a double recipe because it freezes well.
