Ella in CA is anxious to hear remedy for the soggy, leaky pecan pie crust herself. Hers seem to do the same thing. Ella, if you go to the 3/18/09 newsletter, about 1/2 way down, I answered that question. I haven’t seen any other postings on leaky pie crusts, though, so there is just the one I sent in.

Joyce T., Missouri, looking for a stuffed green pepper soup, look no further!

Stuffed Green Pepper Soup from friends T & T
2 lbs. ground beef
2 qts. water
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (29 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 c. cooked long-grain rice = 1/2 c. uncooked
2 c. chopped green bell peppers, about 2 large peppers
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 tbl. packed brown sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

In 6 qt. saucepan or Dutch oven, brown beef and drain. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes or until tender. This can also be cooked in the crock pot. Makes about 16 servings. Posted under soups on Nancy’s message board. NOTE: I add the rice in dry as the soup simmers for quite a while. The rice will be cooked! Chris in NM posted in the 2/3/09 newsletter
