咖喱角 (Curry Beef Empanadas)

I was getting my spongecake recipe from the Maria Lee website and came across this recipe for 咖喱角 (Curry Beef Empanadas). I made the filling and it tasted ok...but after it was baked in the pastry...it became REALLY salty...not sure why...but we'll hafta add less salt next time...and I might add potatoes next time...:)

Overall...trial one was ok...steven didn't like it...and will not eat another one...the dad didn't comment on it...and the mom thought the filling was dry...:(

Bell Pepper Spaghetti Bolognese

For our Sunday night dinner (and Monday leftovers), I made Bell Pepper Spaghetti Bolognese. Here's the recipe for the sauce:

Ingredients:
10-12 Campari On-The-Vine Tomatoes (from Costco)

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/3 cup minced garlic (or less...if 1/3 cup is too extreme)
1/2 small white onion, chopped
2 Bell Peppers, chopped (I used 1 yellow & 1 orange)
2 lbs ground beef
2 tsp Salt
2 Cans Tomato Sauce
1/2 Can Tomato Paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp Dried Basil
1 Tbsp Dried Oregano
2 Tbsp Sugar
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions:
Heat Tomatoes in pot of water until almost boiling. The skin to the tomatoes should be semi-off of the fruit. Remove skins and set aside.

Heat Olive Oil. Cook Garlic & Onion until fragrant. Add peppers and saute for 3 minutes. Add ground beef and 2 tsp salt, saute until browned. Add remaining ingredients. Cook until desire consistency. Serve with favorite pasta.
