Didn't have buttermilk for my usual onions rings so I decided to give these a try because I had lots of Krusteau pancake mix. I floured the onions before I coated them in the mixture (which I substituted beer for the water). They were perfect! I used two cups of the pancake mixture with 1 1/2 cups of Miller Lite beer. This was enough to coat about 1 1/2 sweet onions (which by the way fed 8 adults with leftovers). Will make again and again!

I've made this twice. The first time it was restuarant quality. The second time it wasn't as good but that had to be a mistake on my part because like I noted, I had made it before and the recipe was really great. Worth a try if you have the ingredients on hand.

Great sauce! Very flavorful. Will definitely make again. Try it and you'll be glad you did.

I wouldn't call this the Best casserole but I'll make it again simply because my 5 yr old, 4 yr old, and 22 month old all gobbled it up. They really liked it. It was okay in my opinion. I did half the sauce like others suggested and I'm glad that I did because it fit perfectly in my 9 x 13 dish. If you're looking for something a little different, give the recipe a try.

Followed recipe pretty much like it said. I used regular pepper. I did grill it on my indoor 'george foreman' look alike grill. It turned out good. Definitely needed some salt though.

Having said that, I used pork/venison sausage instead of the sweet Italian it called for and I wish I hadn't. I think this dish needs the sweetness to offset the saltyness of the rest of the ingredients. I couldn't find Cream of Brocoli and settled for Cream of Brocoli and Cheese. I used a package of Wacky Mac instead of the spirals to bring more color to the dish. I did add a bit more milk (about 1/2 c.) because my broccoli (which was fresh, not frozen) just didn't have enough liquid to cook. Overall it wasn't that bad but I won't be making it again. Why? My 3 year old daughter only ate the sausage and the oldest, a 5 yr. old, tried it and wouldn't touch anymore (she's usually a good eater). My 1 year old ate the macaroni okay but it wasn't the ideal dish for a youngster with few teeth. It's worth trying if you have nothing else to cook and have the ingredients on hand. Maybe it was just a personal preference and your family will like it. But I won't be making it again. Always like to try new recipes, though, so thanks for the post!

Very moist and thick pancakes. My 3 year old really liked them. They lacked a bit of sweetness to them but overall they were great. I'll make them again in the future.
