SERBIAN GROUND BEEF, VEGGIE, AND POTATO BAKE
My boyfriend lived in Serbia for 3 years and always begs me to recreate some of his favorite dishes. Based on his sketchy explanations and a little research into Eastern European spices, I concocted this hearty and slightly spicy bake with ground beef, paprika, and vegetables like celery and peppers. Great with a glass of red wine!

SERBIAN PORK AND BEANS
From "The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors" by Jeff Smith "This is a simple bean dish that you have rpbably seen before, but the addition of paprika and hot red pepper flakes probably points to a bit of Hungarian influence. It is a good bean dish, and our Yugoslavian immigrants must have eaten a lot of this in their early days in this country." My husband asked for " pork and white beans" for dinner. I went on a search for recipes and found this one. It is very good with much more spice than usual in a bean dish. I used half sweet paprika and half hot paprika since neither was specified. Plenty spicy without the red pepper flakes.
