Aside from me misreading the directions (isn't sauce a topping??) and the funny way it looked. This crust turned out pretty good!! My husband and I like thin crispy crust and this turned out thin and crispy. I mixed the batter exactly as directed. Sprayed a baking sheet with cooking spray, added the batter and then put sauce, mushrooms, onion, bacon pieces, and chopped up meatballs (had left over sauce and meatballs from spaghetti night) Put a light layer of cheese over the top and cooked for 20 min. Once it was done I added more cheese which melted on its own. WORKED GREAT!! Except, I must have made it too thin cause the edges were a little burnt. Still good!

OMG!! Fabulous!! Don't put the food coloring in there....thats just dumb...you don't need it the strawberries give it such a beautiful pink color. The flavor is extraordinary! The only change I made was I used half n half instead of milk because I had some. Its so rich and creamy with out adding any extras like strawberry extract or the food coloring!!

I wanted a brat recipe that was different from the traditional beer n brats and saw this. I think it is an awesome start to a great recipe. I read all the reviews and tips that everyone had left before I made this and ended up with something wonderful....a crowd pleaser! For starters many people commented that the potatoes were uncooked after three hours. Since I didn't have anything but canned/diced potatoes I used 2 cans and they were perfect. I broiled 8 brats and cut them into small bites as suggested. It was also noted that in some cases the stew was too greasy. For this I used one can of cheese soup and two cans of cream of mushroom. 30 min prior to eating I added one cup of shredded cheddar. It was not soupy or greasy at all and had a wonderfully cheesy taste. (I wonder if some people had greasiness because of poor quality brats.) I used a teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 whole onion, and 1 red pepper sauteed together prior to adding to the stew. I used one can of green beans, 1 cup of frozen corn and it was suggested that I add broccoli however, I had none on hand. I am so glad there are left overs!!!!
