Perfect for a busy day meal. I used canned chicken and added about half a pound of frozen broccoli (tastes good and adds color). Used only two of the three noodle seasoning packets. Added a cup of milk because it was a bit too thick. Because I used the canned chicken, I only cooked it 3 - 4 hours on low. Added noodles during last half hour. My three grandkids ate it up, and so did my husband. A keeper for busy days!

This is a great recipe, and you can cook it either in the slow cooker or the oven. I bake the eggs in my cornbread, then add 2 coarsely chopped boiled eggs to the dressing. Freezes well. Be sure to spray the crock with Pam, though - it you're not around to stir occasionally, it tends to stick. Definitely 5 stars, especially if you're a Southerner.

Easy, quick, tasty. I didn't change a thing. Made them for my mom and she love them...and she's tough to please.

Absolutely perfect. I just popped everything into the microwave for 45 seconds and stirred till smooth. It doesn't get any better or easier than that.

Perfect topping for a bundt cake. Easy and quick. The only change I made was to melt the butter - I tend to forget to take it out of the fridge in time to wait for it to soften. Will use this frequently.

What an easy cake! Tastes delicious, too. Made it according to the recipe, no changes. The only tip I have is to mix everything except the pie filling together, then gently mix in the pie filling. The first time I made it, the cherries disappeared, though the taste was there. By being extra careful, the cherries hold together and make a better cake, IMO. Topped with Chocolate Glaze II.

Oh my word. This is so good. I know it doesn't need a five star review, but I just had to write one anyway. It's very versatile - instead of almonds, I've used sunflower seeds, cashew pieces,and pecans (not all at once!). I've used raisins instead of cranberries. I've added mandarin oranges. But it's the dressing that really carries this one over the top. I use 1/2 c red wine vinegar and no cider vinegar, and Splenda instead of sugar. It's absolutely perfect. I mix up a whole recipe, but don't use the dressing until I'm ready to serve it. It holds up very well in the fridge for about 3 days this way, and I've been known to eat it for breakfast. 5 stars, at least.

I found myself without the packaged taco seasoning and tried this recipe as a quick fix to avoid a trip to the grocery store. I'm sold! No more packaged stuff for me. I had all the spices on hand, so it's just a matter of throwing it all together. Also, I'm now able to cut back a bit on the hotter spices to accomodate the grandkids when they're visiting. Today, I'm making a large batch so it'll be a staple in my kitchen from now on.

Oh. My. Goodness. These are so scrumptious! Not good for my diet, but everybody needs a treat sometimes. I followed the directions in the reviews for making this without a bread machine, and they turned out just perfect. I did double the icing, but I'm not sure that's necessary. I think it'd be great just as written in the recipe. Can't wait to share these with my family - I know I'm going to get lots of compliments!

I don't care for hamburger steak, but I made this for my husband and my parents and they all raved about it. I did make some changes. I sauted the onions then removed them from the pan. Then I browned the hamburger patties in the pan, then transferred them to the oven till they were almost done. I tripled the gravy (didn't use the sherry) and added the onions back to the pan, then put the patties, which were almost done, back in the gravy and simmered on very low heat for about 10 minutes.

This cake reminds me so much of the ones my husband's grandmother used to make, and I've made him a happy man by trying this recipe. A note to the thrifty: I used 2 sticks of margarine and 1 stick of butter and my husband can't taste the difference. The only other change I made was to up the amount of vanilla to 1 tablespoon. It is very important to be patient as you mix the butter and cream cheese together - do it slowly, and wait until it is very creamy. I started with a cold oven, and the baking time was about 2 hours. Perfect old-fashioned pound cake!

Excellent mix-based pound cake. I used 2 cups of blueberries, otherwise followed recipe exactly. I did have to bake it quite a bit longer than the recipe called for - about 1 hr 10 min @ 350. I'll be using this recipe again!

I made one loaf and a dozen muffins. My husband, who generally is not a fan of sweet breads, loved it, and so did my grandchildren. The only change I made was to add a splash of vanilla (didn't measure) and a cup of chopped pecans. I'm going to try it with pears next time. Thanks for posting!

This is a great pie! I used frozen peaches, and followed others' recommendations to use half white and half brown sugar. Also added 1 t cinnamon and 1 T cornstarch. Baked for 15 minutes at 425, then 30 minutes at 350. Then let sit for 15 minutes in the oven after I turned it off. A very simple, easy recipe for an old-fashioned favorite.

I have been making a variation of this recipe for a long time, and it's a hit with my family every time I make it. It is similar to sweet and sour pork, but so much easier, and the sauce is delicious over rice. I use fat-free Catalina dressing and instead of apricot preserves, I use a small can of pineapple tidbits. Sometimes, I add some bell pepper strips. Best of all, I throw it all in the crockpot for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. Serve it with packaged fried rice (like Rice-A-Roni) and steamed veggies. Fast, easy, cheap, and good!

Really good salad. The sour cream was a nice change from mayo. I used fat-free sour cream and Splenda. I halved the recipe but doubled the amount of sweetener. I'll be making this again.

I bake a cake once a week for my elderly mom, so finding new ones is a challenge. She loved this one, and she's picky. I did tweak it a bit: I used a french vanilla cake mix and I poked the holes with the end of a wooden spoon. I left off the pudding layer and instead mixed together 1 pkg pudding mix with 1 cup milk, then added 1 eight ounce size Cool Whip and mixed together for the frosting. Topped it with chopped pecans. Saves a little time and money, and my mom still raved.

These were pretty good. A nice change from all those dishes containing cream-of-something soup. The only change I made was to simmer the chops longer - for about an hour, and they turned out very tender. The sauce was good over rice. A nice everyday sort of dish, for those times when you want a home-cooked meal but you don't want to be in the kitchen all day.

I really like these, but my family was apparently not as impressed. They didn't complain, though, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I cut back on the butter to 3/4 cup as suggested in other reviews, and increased the lemon juice to 3/4 cup. Also, I took the lazy cook's way out by using bottled lemon juice - it worked just fine. I'll be making this for our next church supper. Thanks for the recipe!

This is easy, it's refreshing, it's colorful, and it's healthy! What more could you ask? I left out the cukes because my husband doesn't care for them, and used lite mayo to lower the fat and calories a tad. I'll serve this often, especially during the summer. Thanks, Lori, for the recipe!
