I like a previous reviewer, used broken Ramen soup noodles instead of rice ones. I added canned mandarin oranges. To the marinade/dressing I added ground ginger and some black pepper, cut the oil amount in half, kept the sesame oil(!) and used about half to marinate the cooked chicken cubes. I also added sugared almond slices. (1/2 cup sliced almonds and 2 tablespoons sugar cooked on low and stir to coat - keep an eye on 'em). Yum!

My family loved this recipe -- it fed two adults, one teen, and 4 children with leftovers!! They hate any kind of "chunks", i.e., onions, green peppers, so onion soup (I just put onion powder and a bit of beef boullion bits in it) is great. I added garlic powder and salt and pepper as well, and only had "Ritz" type crackers on hand - but was really good. Update: made this again recently. Instead of the dip mix I used garlic powder; onion salt; seasoned salt (maybe 1/2 tsp each of salts). 2# ground beef (no sausage); same amt eggs; 1/2 cup or so italian bread crumbs. It was the most flavorful meatloaf we've ever had. Update again! Made meatballs that were awesome!! using orig recipe with my corrections!
