Sorry, the gravy did not work for me at all. I cut down the recipe for 2 and maybe that's why it didn't come out right. But I followed the recipe exactly as it read and it just was awful. The gravy didn't cook through well, the flavor was weird and I almost threw it all out, but I managed to wipe off all the gravy off the pork chop (I hate throwing food out).

This is a favorite in our household to serve at parties. We just recently had a Poker Party and all of our guests loved it! We made several gallons of this stuff and all of our guests were pleasantly tipsy and throwing their money out the window by the end of the night:)We also used ginger ale. I got to say that it's not your traditional Sangria so if that's what you're looking for then maybe this recipe isn't the one for you. But I'm not a huge fan of red wine to begin with, so adding all the other liquors and gingerale made it a bit sweeter for me.

This is my absolute favorite soup at Olive Garden, so I was very excited to find this recipe. It did not disappoint. I found it to taste just as good as the original. A friend recommended I leave out the bacon as she has made this recipe as well and found that it was just as flavorful without it and not as greasy so I made it this way. The sausage did gave it enough flavor and I even found breadsticks in the bread aisle just like the ones from Olive Garden! I brushed some melted butter and garlic salt on them and baked them for 5 minutes and they tasted like the real thing. This has been a repeat in our house and tonight I think I'm going to try it with spinach instead of Kale.
