My mother used to make us potato chip cookies when we were little. I don't have her recipe but I knew someone here would have one. Great recipe! I did use butter instead of shortening and substituted almond extract in place of the vanilla. Although the cookies were slightly flat, I believe if I used less butter, they would be fuller. But the taste...freakin' awesome. Thank you for this recipe. P.S. I used fresh, ridged potato chips. Makes a difference.

My mother had made this dessert a family tradition at Thanksgiving and I called her every year I wasn't with her, to get the recipe. We lost her last Christmas and I miss giving her that phone call, but I am very happy to see it posted here. The only differences that I do are that I add the cherry juice to the cream cheese to help mash it up and I have experimented and added mandarin oranges too. Thanks again for posting this. Happy Thanksgiving.

My main objective was to used some chopped venison left from last year's deer hunting season, (the next feverish season is just around the corner! Have to use it up!) This recipe has a great flavor with some added tweeks. I try to read a bunch of recipes and extract a bit of each one. I used 8 oz. sour cream and 4 oz. cream cheese - I HIGHLY recommend you mix the two together before adding it to the beef mixture, for a smoother texture. I used fresh chives/green onions, as well as fresh mushrooms. A whole onion also went into it. Garlic powder and onion powder to taste as well as various other spices that I really can't recall. Instead of water, I used white zinfandel and some beef broth. I made egg noodles to serve this tasty dish over. One thing I would do differently next time would be to make the sauce thicker. I may also brown up the venison before tossing it into the slow cooker. My reason for choosing the slow-cooker way is because venison needs to cook for a long time to make it nice and tender. (I've heard many a complaint from people who try to cook venison and say that it tastes 'gamey'.) If you do it right it has an even better flavor than beef. Oh, and I complimented this savory meal with some garlic, parmesan, and mozzarella bread. Homemade of course! Definitely try this and enjoy!
