I make this recipe every Christmas and usually a time or two during the year and we all love it. Like some other reviewers said, definitely line the pan with foil and then I always spray it with cooking spray as well. I use enough saltines to linet the bottom of the pan and break some in half to fit the edges. I get the butter, brown sugar, and a touch of vanilla boiling and boil for 5 minutes, then put in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. I pull the pan out, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top, and cover it with foil for a few minutes. Then take the foil off and the chocolate is easily spreadable. We use Planter's sundae peanuts on top, and refrigerate until solid. For gifts, I break into abstract pieces and put in treat bags or boxes with gold tissue or ribbon. Hope this helps!

Pretty good! I made this with a cup and a half of rice, 3 cups of water (didn't have chicken stock), a whole green pepper, two sweet onions, and fresh parsley and garlic. Also used a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes and a small can of chilis, which I diced. Added cumin, paprika, salt and a bit of pepper. I put cheddar cheese on top (partly for my 17-month olds, partly for myself!) and the whole family liked it. I will definitely make it again.

This is a very good, easy way to make homemade pasta sauce. I doctor it by adding fresh basil and oregano, mushrooms, green pepper, and brown sugar. I also squeeze the meat out of the italian sausage casings instead of slicing and leave some nice big chunks in there. Very Yummy!
