I have been searching for a recipe that will taste like the best "restaurant" pot roasts. This, unfortunately, is not that recipe. However, it was the best pot roast recipe I have tried. I really liked the gravy and the flavor of the meat. I did do a few things differently - I added some red wine & a couple of smashed garlic cloves. I also braised it on the stovetop instead of a pressure cooker. I chopped an onion into the pan, and after 1 1/2 hours added chunks of carrot and potato to cook in the gravy. I would also recommend using low-sodium broth, due to the sodium in the salad dressing packets. Everyone loved it, and it is my new pot roast recipe. Thanks for posting this one!

I was looking for a recipe like this to use up 2 cups of buttermilk. I wanted a simple recipe without too much butter and no need for a mixer. This pie is delicious. Hubby & son (both very picky) enjoyed it. I used a 9" frozen deep dish pie crust, and had just a little extra filling left, so I baked it separately in a small ramekin, and it was delicious, too. I also added an extra egg since I had only lowfat buttermilk, and it set up perfectly. Next time I would take it out of the oven when there is a small center of custard that still "jiggles", as it will firm up while cooling. I am also planning to try it with lemon peel and juice, and once with coconut. The flavor of the custard is wonderful. We preferred it after it had chilled it in the fridge. My first buttermilk pie experience, and I will make it regularly. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is delicious and super-easy. I have made 2 double batches in the past week for people at my school, it went like hotcakes. Several people asked for the recipe. I used french vanilla pudding mix, one extra-creamy CoolWhip and one Vanilla CoolWhip, 8 oz. regular sour cream and 8 oz. light sour cream. I used about 1/2 cup less milk than the full quart needed so the pudding would not be soupy. I also used Pepperidge Farm Mini-Chessmen cookies in place of the vanilla wafers. I highly recommend using Chessmen cookies, either regular size or minis, anytime you make banana pudding. They really class up the taste. That said, if you are only making a single batch, I would use the regular sour cream instead of the light, since light sour cream has a much softer texture and probably would make a 'soupier' pudding. All in all, a wonderful pudding recipe and really quick and easy! Thanks for the posting!
