Once again a Daniel creation. My arm is in a sling so it's good with easy meals.
Cats Quick Dinner
Boil some noodles. Daniel chose Chinese egg noodles.
Cut 2 onions in thin rings and sauté. Add one diced red pepper and four hot dogs cut in slivers and sauté. add some frozen peas. Add 1 T soy sauce and then the noodles. Mix well and serve. Tasty, quick and easy.

Brown 1 lb. lean ground beef and add to vegetables. add 1 t. salt. add the cooked curry rice and mix well. Put all of this into a very large greased pie pan. (mine is white porcelain). Roll the dough and cover. cut slits in the top in a decorative pattern and bake at 350 about 30 minutes.
