Yum!! I agree with other reviewers, this recipe is a great starting point to add what you like, and it tastes great! Also it is simple and quick (+ my 14 month old picky eater gobbled up all the veggies! need I say more!) I did make some changes -- added Worchestershire sauce & soy sauce to the ground beef as it was browning (the wort. sauce soaks into the meat, giving it a great flavor). Then I also added cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder & Italian seasoning. I added whatever frozen veggies I had (corn, green beans, peas) and fresh chopped tomato. I also made a gravy using a roux and beef bouillion, then poured it over the beef mixture in the casserole. The potatoes I used "pizza" shredded cheese mix (find it at grocery) and some parmesan, with butter, milk, salt, pepper. Popped it in the oven and it camr out "DE~LISH"! I would recommend this one and feel free to experiment, I think almost anything would work great in this recipe.

Yum! This recipe was so easy, but came out delicious! I used whole chicken gizzards & hearts; I added some bell pepper and did not have cayenne, so I added Creole Seasoning and then cut down the salt / pepper. Even my picky toddler loved it! I can't wait to try this with shrimp instead of gizzards.

This is such an excellent cake, and so easy/ fast to make! We didn't have eggs, so I was looking for something sweet to make without. The batter DOES seem thick at first, but it bakes up wonderfully, and the applesauce makes it nicely moist inside. I took other reviewers' suggestions: omitted nuts & cloves (had none), substitute 1/4 cup oatmeal for 1/4 cup of the flour, used margarine, added 1/4 tsp vanilla. Husband LOVED this one, and he is not a big raisin fan. He came back for fourths..! It's sweet enough, just a dusting of powdered sugar on top is great. Yummy!! I look forward to more with a cup of java tomorrow morning!
