Worth the effort!

I was out of vanilla and so used almond extract - what a yummy, rich flavor! Perfect consistency.

Wow, I was really impressed! We all loved this. Working evenings, I am now forced to feed my family via the slow cooker, and I have not found much that turns out well, but this recipe is every bit as delicious as a stovetop version. The only thing I changed was substituting crushed tomatoes because I was out of diced, and it worked well. Top Notch! Thank you.

My husband loves meatloaf. After making this last night he told me to stop the decade-long search for the right recipe because I have finally found it! I used bbq sauce instead of ketchup and made my own breadcrumbs (2 slices of bread in the food processor = 1 cup of crumbs). I can't vouch for how greasy this dish would be if cooked the traditional way because I elevate my meatloaf on a rack in the baking pan so the fat drips off. Sometimes drier recipes can tend to be very dry doing this, but this one was not. A note: if you try this method, make sure to use at least 90/10 ground beef, as lower fat varieties will be too dry.

*PERFECT* I made this last winter for the Grand Opening of my husband's new business and it was a hit with adults and children alike. I am making it again tonight for a party and recall how EASY it is to take the ingredients in their containers and make the punch there. Last year I had to make four bowls full and easily kept the ice cream and juices cold between refills in their containers on the back porch in the snow!

I've been making this for a few years now - and I ALWAYS get asked for the recipe. I now use it as my base recipe for all quiches, changing the meat and veggies as desired for any occasion. Perfect 10.

Just not at all what it seems it will be: not very rueben-ish, and the saurkraut is quite overpowering, and we love saurkraut! My family demanded that I never try this recipe again in any shape or form.

I was being very BOLD to serve turkey (sissy) burgers to my guys. But they love these and have requested them more than once in the past couple of months. The recipe is perfect as is, I left out the peppers for my little ones and with nothing else omitted, they are perfect for kids who "don't like spicy" -- they are just very zesty and flavorful without the peppers. I grilled on HIGH, 5 minutes each side and they were perfect this time. The first time they were a little overdone.

If I could give this recipe 6 stars, I would! My 6-year-old and meat-n-potatoes husband both said it was "AWESOME". I too sauteed the step 1 items in olive oil instead of boiling and used fresh red bell pepper (about 2 ounces diced) instead of pimentos. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing!!!

Wrong consistency - doesn't taste anything like the dressing in Japanese restaurants.

Very good. I doubled the recipe to fit my 2.5 liter casserole, used 2 16oz bags of frozen beans instead of the canned, used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup of sour cream instead of simply doubling the sour cream, and doubled all the other ingredients. My family SO loves cream of mushroom soup, I couldn't bear to leave it out completely. It was a hit!

A very good chili - if you like sweet chili. I loved it!! But my husband prefers a more savory, meaty flavored chili. Overall, it's hearty and flavorful.

A HUGE HIT! This is what my husband refers to as "Saturday Food" (good for football on the couch) and is also one of the few things he has ever raved about after the very first bite. One tip - eat in one sitting for best flavor. While it's still very good reheated from the frig later, the bacon flavor becomes overpowering.

This sauce was very very good. I would only suggest reducing the apple brandy just a very small bit or perhaps mixing it in while the sauce is still cooking to simmer out some of the alcohol taste. It was just too overpowering. Everything else balances perfectly and this recipe (as is) is definately worth a try!

Not for those who actually LIKE sweet potatoes. I thought this recipe sounded delicious and was pleased with the many wonderful reviews, so I made it for Thanksgiving last week. It's still sitting in my frig with about 3 spoonfuls missing while the rest of the food is nearly gone. I should have read more carefully all of the reviews that say things like "those who don't normally like sweet pototoes will love this" and "tastes more like a pie" --- it's a GREAT RECIPE for those who want something like that (just reduce the rum), but for those who like sweet potatoes and hearty flavorful healthy food, stick to a traditional recipe. One plus - the struesel topping is great and I think in the future I may use that on my old recipe in place of marshmallows!

I made this wonderful summertime dessert for a work cookout and it was literally the hit of the entire event. Half the women there asked for the recipe and everyone commented first on how pretty it was, and then how great it tasted. I followed the recipe word for word and put it in a glass bowl so the layers were visible. The only suggestion I have is to use a LARGE bowl. My glass bowl is the size of a large salad serving bowl and I had to cut back on some of the whipped cream mixture in order to make it all fit (it as still heaping over the top).
