Cheryl's Recipe Corner

  • Homemade Pizza Rolls
  • Ingredients
    • 4 cups shredded pizza cheese blend or part-skim mozzarella cheese
    • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
    • 2 packages (3 ounces each) sliced pepperoni, chopped
    • 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
    • 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 2 jars (14 ounces each) pizza sauce
    • 32 egg roll wrappers
    • Oil for frying
    • Additional pizza sauce for dipping, warmed, optional
  • Directions
    • In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onion. Stir in pizza sauce until combined. Place about 1/4 cup filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water and roll up tightly to seal. In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pizza rolls for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with additional pizza sauce if desired. Yield: 32 rolls. Also good with leftover rotisserie chicken, provolone, buffalo sauce with blue cheese dipping sauce. These freeze well!  Suggested to assemble then freeze “raw”... not sure how they would freeze pre-cooked.

Things to Do in Amateur Radio This Weekend
  • North American QSO Party CW runs from Saturday at 1800z to Sunday at 0559z.  This is a low power contest, meaning the maximum power you can operate and qualify for a class is 100 watts.  The exchange is simple, just your name and state/province.  If CW isn't your game, checkout this one when they do the SSB or RTTY modes.
  • NI6IW will be the callsign for the USS Midway Museum Ship Special Event: Desert Storm Kickoff on Saturday from 1700z to 2359z.
  • K2BSA/6 will be active on Saturday during daylight hours at Polar Camp in Idlywild, CA.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)
  • Stuffed Pork Chops
  • Ingredients
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary (optional)
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers (optional)
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms, sauteed (optional)
    • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
    • 2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
    • 4 boneless pork chops
    • Salt
    • Pepper
    • 1 cup flour
    • 2 eggs, beaten
    • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or Seasoned)
    • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan (optional)
    • 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • Directions
    • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, spices (be creative!), mozzarella and bacon, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Set aside. Season all sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Carefully cut a pocket through the side of the pork chop in order to create a cavity. Stuff the cavity with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and press around the edges of the pork to seal it in. Repeat with the remaining pork chops. Refrigerate the chops, once stuffed, for 1 hour. Dip the stuffed pork chops in the flour, shaking off excess, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining pork chops. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pork chops for a few minutes on each side. Remove from heat and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly starting to brown. Serve! Notes: This recipe is very forgiving, and you can add or take away most anything.  Adding spinach to the cream cheese mixture is very good, sauteed onions, etc.  Use cheddar instead of mozzarella, etc.  Want to use some Thyme?  Knock yourself out!  Experiment and have fun!
