Great recipe, thank you for keeping it traditional! I spent a great deal of my youth in Pennsylvania Dutch country, where whoopie pies are still pretty much a staple. The filling has always been made with Crisco and egg whites and I never heard of anyone contracting "food poisoning", ever. In fact, you will see most any version of a whoopie pie at any local bake sale, wrapped individually in wax paper (just like the Tastykakes of yore,sigh) and I would bet they were made from a recipe handed down through the generations which included egg whites in the filling. Whoopie Pies are what they are...changing anything out would be breaking a long-standing traditional recipe.

This was a little hearty for my taste. The bacon and onions lent it a very rustic flavor. My son enjoyed it more than my husband and I did. One thing, prepare to spend way more time than 35 minutes making this dish.

Not a traditional flan, the texture is definitely not an eggy custard. But it is a delicious treat for sure! My husband, always on the quest for the perfect flan, loved it even though it wasn't traditional. I did heat my pan in the oven while it was preheating to ensure the melted sugar spread evenly. I made the recipe as written and everything came out perfectly! I used a 10 inch round cake pan and it worked great.

Amazing flavor! Tasted like my favorite barbecue chips, only hotter! My husband's first foray into grilling a tenderloin...but it came out great. This would be so fabulous on ribs...I can taste them now...Thanks for a great new grilling recipe!

This recipe is so delicious! It was everything I was hoping it would be. I found the spices to be just perfect, and I like my food flavorful, not bland. This makes an awful lot of sauce, so the next time I make this I will use half and freeze the other half for another meal. Great dish!

This was okay...kinda like Salisbury Steak. Reminded me of those 1950s meals, simple but heavy. If you want to keep the meat bound together good, instead of bread crumbs use a slice of bread soaked in milk with the crust removed. Press the milk out and mix the bread into your meat. It also makes the burgers tender. A good tip for your meatballs, too.

We all loved, loved, loved these! Great flavor. But one caveat...I am finding that with my newer oval crockpot it takes less time to cook my dishes than the recipe usually states, as was the case with this recipe. My peas would have been done in 4 hours, but I left them on low while we went to the movies and they were definitely over-cooked and more like a thick stew when we got back :-( Great taste nevertheless...but I sure do miss my old crockpot.

Such a delicious soup from such simple ingredients! I used 50% less sodium beef broth and didn't need to add more salt. Used fresh Italian sausage from the butcher and guess what, hardly any grease left in the pot, just the yummy crusty bits! Bush's Northern beans are too mushy; they practically disintegrated from just the 15 minute simmer. I wouldn't use them again.

Very peanutty, but sure not sweet enough. The other recipe on this site has a much better ratio of sugar to peanut butter in my opinion (and my mom's).

This was soooo good! The lemon juice really makes it taste so fresh! I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh and added olives. Definitely use the feta cheese, it's a nice delicate cheese and adds to the wonderful and authentic flavor of this dish. Everyone loved it...delicious!

This was delicious, very flavorful. You can really smell the garlic and I was afraid it would be too much, but it wasn't. I thought the chili paste would make it hot, but it wasn't hot enough for me! I love food with a bite so I will add some pepper flakes next time. I used boneless rib pork loins that were $2/pkg and it took no time at all to cut them into bite sized chunks. I marinated them overnight and half the next day. Added cherries, green peppers and onions and made kabobs which came out very flavorful and tender. Company loved them and no one would ever guess how economical it was! We didn't grill them, Hurricane Gustav brought winds too high for that today! But broiled in the oven they came out great. Thanks for a fantastic recipe I'll use over and over!

What an amazing combination of ingredients! We all love this dish and have made it several times now. Very flavorful!

Amazing...my son's favorite dish! Served with fries to dip.

We really liked this! Beware, it's quite pickle-y, but that's what makes it a genuine, old-fashioned cheeseburger!

Simple and delicious! Doesn't get any better than that...

This never did set up for me even after I kept it in the fridge about an hour and a half before mixing. Adding confectioner's sugar only compromised the flavor. If I were basing it on taste alone, I would give it a 5, but since it was essentially not useable for my cake, I lowered it to a 3.

This was really tasty! We all really liked it. I followed the directions exactly. When I cooked my chicken I sauted it seasoned with lemon pepper and a little garlic powder (after it soaked in buttermilk a bit). If you use unseasoned chicken I can see where the dish could be bland. But this was enjoyable...a great comfort food dish!

Tastes just like gumdrops...only better! Easy to do, but beware it takes some time, mostly "babysitting". Worth it though! Dipped them in sugar while still a little sticky and will use them to decorate a lemon bundt cake. Thanks for the great recipe!

We really liked this! Of course it's not a gourmet meal, but for a busy weeknight it's a great, flavorful lifesaver. Added a salad and some biscuits with honey, everyone scarfed it up! Used Knorr beef bouillon cubes, which added great flavor. Beef was tender, carrots were tender. It was delicious. Thanks for sharing!

I don't understand all the raves. We like our food flavorful and found this to be very bland.
