I was in a hurry to get this in the oven so I didn't bundle my fresh green beans, just topped with the bacon. I precooked 6 slices of bacon thinking it was enough, but then realized that it was supposed to be the whole package and I did not have time to precook the rest. The precooked bacon was much better and crisp. The rest of the bacon was soggy and fatty even though I uncovered it and broiled it at the end of baking until it browned. I also used fresh green beans and boiled them for 5 minutes due to other reviews and they were quite soggy! Next time I will NOT precook the beans, but definitely will precook all the bacon. I gave this recipe 3 stars because it was swimming in grease! I don't know if I will use butter at all next time, the bacon creates enough grease. I also think that by precooking the bacon you might eliminate some of the grease. But the flavor itself was good, very sweet. I will make this again with these changes and will play around with the grease factor to see what works best when I precook all of the bacon, butter or no butter, maybe a bit of water?

I make this often but mix the taco seasoning with the cream cheese and sour cream instead of with the refried beans! Make sure you serve this in a 9x13 and with a serving spoon as this is hard to dip chips into without breaking the chips. You can alter this so many ways and it is always great and easy to prepare.

Used only 1/2 cup bourbon and the taste was still too strong. I used half the amount of soy sauce because people said it was too salty, tripled the amount of brown sugar, and it was not too salty this way, it was nice and sweet but just had too much alcohol taste. Our whole apartment smelled of bourbon for hours after we finished dinner. The chicken was extremely dry even though it cooked in the liquid, and I think this might be better if you cook the liquid first and let the alcohol cook out, then add the chicken and pan fry it instead of baking. This was edible but we didn't eat a whole lot and I immediately threw out what we didn't eat. I will not attempt to make this again.

GREAT! For crust I used 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/4 cup sugar. I baked with a baking pan with about an inch of water on bottom rack and cheesecake on middle rack. No cracks. Because of other reviews I removed the water bath after baking then closed oven and let sit 2 hours which I thought would be enough. Next time I will NOT remove the water bath because I think it let all the heat escape from the oven. And I will let it sit for the full 5-6 hours because it was just a little softer in the center than it was on the outer edges. Also I used Pam cooking spray, wax paper on the bottom of the pan, and it did not stick to the pan whatsoever.

Definitely not barbeque flavor at all, but they did cook well in the crock pot and got very tender. I would rather have this sauce with pork chops and white rice. The sauce tastes very tomatoey. I had to fix these up by baking for awhile with some barbeque sauce on them, they were great but you definitely need to add barbeque sauce if you want barbeque ribs!

Just like I have had in the past! I cooked without salt but ended up sprinkling it on because I like this dish a bit salty and it has always been that way when I have eaten it before. Meat was so tender and and I added 1 cup of carrots as well. Next time I'll add more potatoes and carrots because there seemed to be a lot of meat. I ate this over the steamed rice, delicious!

Good rice, easy to make. What is calrose rice? I just used regular long grain rice and din't see anything called calrose rice in the stores.

It's much easier and tastes better to serve sprite with fresh lime wedges squeezed in, and grenadine mixed in. Grenadine is the red syrup that is used to make cherry cokes or shirley temples. You can find it in grocery or liquor stores. If you want to you can garnish with cherries and add a little cherry juice as well.

Tastes great, fruity with a hint of lemon in the middle. Used peach instead of orange-pineapple. Next time I'll use colors of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue (berry blue), purple (grape), and use pink (strawberry kiwi) for the bottom layer. Doing it this way the green and purple would have milk in it and won't look so dark.

I make this often! 3 stars because I did not like this with sour cream AT ALL...normally I love sour cream on anything, it just was not the right flavor for baked ziti. The sourness/tang of the sour cream makes it taste as if you used bad cheese (think spaghetti with sour cream in it) so I use ricotta instead and sometimes I use mild Italian sausage for the beef. The first 5 or 6 times I mixed the pasta with sauce first and then layered, topping off with mozzerella and letting it get golden brown on top, but then I decided to make it the way it states in the recipe and I actually like it a lot better! So from now on I will layer it the way the recipe states. Thanks for the great recipe!

Ladyfingers were in the frozen food section right next to desserts/pies. I thought they'd be in the cookie aisle!

Gave 3 stars because it is better if you chill it overnight like I did, so the marshmallows can start to soften. Also, it would be better with some of the juice from the pineapple, I ended up having to add 1/2 cup of milk the next morning to moisten it up and make it more creamy. Without the extra liquid it is too clumpy.

These are great! Made 3 dozen. I used almost double the amount of mayo and halved salt due to other reviews. FYI: the fresher your eggs, the harder they will be to peel!! I salted my water because it's supposed to make peeling easier, didn't work! The sooner the "Use By" date is the better.

GREAT! I used ground turkey for the first time in a meatloaf, it was great, not too greasy and couldn't tell it was turkey and not ground beef. Due to other reviews, I reduced milk to 1/4 cup and brown suger to 1/4 cup. But I added an additional mixture of 2 TBSP each of brown sugar and ketchup and put on the top of meatloaf the last 30 minutes of baking, and total baking time was one and a half hours due to others reviews. It was perfect! I also did not use ginger because I didn't have it. Can't wait to make again!

This was ok, I actually liked my potatoes that I roasted in the pan and drizzled with olive oil, garlic and salt much better than the chicken. The juices from the chicken made the potatoes taste wonderful!

Tastes great, flattening the chicken was the hardest part. I used Italian bread crumbs, added a little garlic powder, and left out the basil because I didn't have it. Will make again.

Meat was very tender, cooked for 11 hours on low, definitely needs more flavor, I used 2 packets of dressing and only had a 3 lb roast. I used beef broth and everything else I did exactly, still not very tasty, I can't believe other people thought it was too salty. May be shredding the meat half way through cooking will let it absorb the flavor more? I'll try that next time.

Made this 3 times so far, it's thick texture is what makes it so good. Easy to make! Don't change a thing!! Except after awhile of stirring, once it gets warm, I turn the heat up gradually to a bit more than med. to speed things up, it boils quickly after that, comes out perfect. One user said she stirred for 45 minutes! That's too long for this mommy!

Fast, easy, delicious! Hardest part is cleaning the pan! This does not need to be baked at all, it crisps up on it's own. I used one whole bag of movie theater butter popcorn, about 8 cups, I recommend picking out all the seeds before coating so you don't have to pick them out later when the stuff is hardened and stuck together! Next time I may add peanuts to this great caramel corn!

Very Good!!! But next time I'll eliminate the butter completely, I only used half the amount and it was still too much. I also used an extra half cup of cheese so maybe that's why they were so oily. Great recipe!!!
