I used 1lb of shimp instead of chicken and ham and 1lb of hot Italian sausage. This came out a bit spicy but we liked it quite a bit! I also let the sauce simmer a lot longer since my homemade shrimp stock was frozen. We love seafood; oh and I didn't forget the bacon! Thanks for the delicious recipe. :)

I made this for the four of us and we didn't like it but I didn't have the right cheese so I used parmesan; I'm sure the right cheese would have made the difference and I couldn't see giving it a bad rating when I didn't follow the recipe.

My family loves these! :)

The roasting part of this recipe is slightly off; I've found that not covering them turns the garlic hard/crispy. (I learned this the hard way); instead wrap in a foil packet or clay roasting pot.

This was a good base recipe and the first time I added cabbage to fried rice so I'm happy to say that it was a great addition; I did not follow the recipe entirely since I had no broccoli, I decided agains putting in the water chestnuts after I opened the can and saw that they were brownish. I skipped the onions too since the kids don't like them. I did use onion powder, fresh garlic, shredded carrot, 3 cups of cabbage, and about 6 slices of bacon which I saved the fat to fry with the rice. (I know not so lite now) I don't like Chinese 5 Spice so I added salt, pepper, and some hot sauce; soy sauce on the side for those who wanted it! :)

I liked this but it had a little bit of a scorched taste to the sauce; I'm thinking it was my fault since I used more oil than called for to fry the chicken. Afterwards the flour on the bottom of the pan looked quite brown and I didn't take it out, I added my veggies as the recipe stated to that oil. Over all the flavors were good; like others said it would have been thin so I added a little bit of spaghetti sauce I had leftover. Thanks!

As written it would be bland IMO but following other reviewers advice this was awesome! I made my ruix in a sauce pan with 5 T of butter 5 T flour; cooked 3 min. then added 2 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, 1/3 tsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. dried mustard and a pinch of cayenne pepper, whisking until thickened aprox. 3-4 minutes. Then layered the potatoes and sauce sauce along with cheese and crumbled bacon in the first two layers. Ending with just sauce and cheese!.. Sooo good my Mom wanted this recipe!..:)

The five star is for the flavor in this dish... Awesome! I did alter just slightly, I used sherry for the wine and just put the garlic in right after cooking all the chicken and before the wine. That way I wouldn't have to fish it all out since it was finely minced. I doubled the sauce but not the lemon! YUM! I loved it! :)

This was delicious and even though I over baked it, I used the drippings to make a wonderful gravy! The best pork loin I've ever made! :)

This was delicious.. I doubled the recipe and used fresh rosemary which I thought was very good; I had some frozen home-made stock so I used it in place of the water. I also had a lot of half & half to use up so I replaced the milk with it; it was very rich and creamy!.. :)

Wow this was awesome! My whole family loved it and it smelled wonderful while simmering! I had went online to browse lots of different ways of making this; some people simmered in lard, some peanut oil and I didn't like either of those methods so I used this recipe and was not dissapointed. I did take advice I found for adding a can of cola to the water; or you could add a can of beer. After two hours I took off the lid, took out oranges and bay leaves then turned up the heat and let the liquid cook down; it took about 15 minutes and then I let the meat brown in it's own fat... Delicious! Thanks for the awesome recipe Ken!:)

This was very good; I did omit the bouillon cube so I added a little paprika, thyme and a dash of cayenne to jazz it up a bit; I also used a small package of dried porcini mushroom which I soaked and then pureed until fine. I added them in when the mushrooms were almost done browning in the butter. :)

These were awesome!.. I couldn't stop eating them. Hubby loved them too; I will make these a lot now that the cold season is coming. It's a nice change to have a creamy delicious mashed potato that doesn't need gravy! I added a dash of dill weed and some chives on top.

This was very good; I didn't add tomatoes, just potatoes, carrots and some celery. Some of the family doesn't care for gravy so I left the gravy as optional! Thanks :)

Mmmm our Italian sausage was spicy the way we like it!.. This is a family pleasing meal with no one comlaining they didn't like it!... I didn't have the diced tomatoes so mine wasn't as chunky, I just used more sauce. Thanks! :)

I loved it!.. The only changes I made were to decrease the red onion down to about 2T and I used rice vinegar because I didn't have the balsamic... I loved the chewey/crunchy bread; yum! :)

Sooo good! This dish had a lot of flavor! I couldn't find the large rice noodles since my store had a very small ethnic section but they had thinner ones for which I followed the directions on the package and they were fine... I used another reviewers suggestion to make the thick soy sauce with brown sugar and I probably doubled my oil but I didn't measure, just poured some in the pan. I added one whole serrano chili that I seeded and it was just mild in heat. I threw in a handful of shredded carrot and a little crushed peanuts on top. So yummy, I will definately make this one again! :)

I really wanted this to come out perfect but it ended up being dry baked for an hour... I should have read the other reviews but I was actually letting my 13 year old help me bake this... It smelled so heavenly while baking, we served with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon on top! :)

Yum... I love having this soup at one of our favorite restaurants "The Olive Garden" I used Kale instead of spinach and Hot Italian Sausages which I baked in the oven, diced and rinsed well to remove all the grease, otherwise it turns your cream orange. So good! :)

We all liked this... I made my own baking mix with help from SunnyByrd :) I used American cheese and it was very cheesy and delicious! We like a bit of spice in food so I added a dash of cayenne pepper to the beef. I would probably add more baking mix or less milk next time since the topping was a bit thin and didn't give as much breading as I would have liked. Good!
