This turned out well. I went right by the recipe, except I reduced the ground beef to 1 lb. I browned the beef w/ onion and then put everything in my crockpot. It cooked on Low pretty much all day. It was pretty good the first night, but tasted a little acidic. The next night, I had leftovers and it tasted much better. After three nights, we reheated it in a pan on the stove for about 30 min. It was even better! The next time I made it, I tweaked the recipe a little, and it was a BIG improvement. I used 2 cans of diced, fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic and one 4 oz. can of chopped green chiles. The only ranch mix I could find was .4 oz. pack of buttermilk recipe. This tasted sooo much better than the first batch I made. Both times, I used Old El Paso low sodium taco seasoning packet. We served with cheese, sour cream, and Frank's Red Hot sauce to taste. Served with "Scoop" tortilla chips. Very yummy.

These are very hearty and quite good. Great for feeding a crowd, and healthy too with the right ingredients. I replaced 1/2 the flour with whole wheat graham flour and used canola oil. I also used red wine vinegar, and you could not taste it. These do brown up quickly and are so thick that it's hard to get the middles and sides done before they're brown. I've found that if they're a little soft when they come off the griddle, stack them on a plate, and carryover cooking will finish them off. We ate them warm, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Like a yummy pumpkin donut, but better!

This was so easy and very good. I did not have fresh broccoli, so I used a frozen, bagged mixture of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. I didn't measure the oregano, I only added a pinch, which was just the right amount. Any more would've been overpowering. I also used skim milk and mozzarella cheese. It was so creamy - - never would've known it was low-fat. I had leftovers the next day, which were even better. This combination of veggies reminds me of a creamy soup a neighborhood restaurant serves...creamy vegetable medley, I think. Thanks Marge! I will make this again and again.
