1 tablespoon prepared mustard

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Mix first ten ingredients together, adding meat last. Put in ovenproof casserole and cover top with bacon slices. Bake in preheated oven at 350° for 1 hour.

Yield: 4 servings

Notes:

1. Used a mix of beef, pork, and veal & dried parsley as that’s what I had on hand

2. Went with Heinz sweet chili sauce, and topped with three slices of bacon

3. Only had a yellow pepper and an onion closer to medium size than large
