Brazilian Pancakes

My brother, Derek, served his mission in Brazil and when he came home he shared this recipe with our family.  It is definitely a different dish, but I really enjoy it!

Brazilian Pancakes

Ingredients:

4 eggs

½ cup milk

½ cup water

½ tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter, melted

2 tsp sugar

1 cup flour

1 ½ pounds lean ground beef

1 green pepper

1 large onion

8 ounces mozzarella cheese

1 jar spaghetti sauce

Instructions:

Make pancakes: Beat together eggs, milk, water, salt, butter, and sugar.  Add flour a little bit at a time.  Beat well.  Strain if necessary to remove lumps.  Heat a fry pan and spray with non-stick spray.  Pour a little of the batter into the pan and tilt it to make a thin pancake.  Make 12 pancakes.

Brown ground beef, onions, and green pepper.  Season with salt and pepper.  Grate cheese if necessary.  Put a little filling on each pancake and sprinkle with some of the cheese.  Roll and put in a large dripper pan.  Pour a little spaghetti sauce on top of the pancakes and sprinkle some cheese.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  Just till heated through.
