Taco Seasoning I

Reviewed: Nov. 8, 2011

So I didnt have any taco seasoning packets for dinner tonight....ALLRECIPES saved me again! I love this site, I've been using it since hubby and I have been together so thats over 12 yrs!!!! When you make this recipe, it will be enough for 1 lb of ground beef (browned and drained)...just mix in a bowl and add 2/3 cup of water to your pan and dump mix in. Simmer for about 12 min or so. Oh yes, it's a little on the spicy side so you can adjust your pepper flakes but it was WAY good...never going back to taco seasoning packets again and I had all the ingredients in my spice cabinet!

Tortilla Surprise

Reviewed: Aug. 1, 2011

It tasted better the next day reheated but my brood hated this :( I didnt think it tasted that bad but it was a wash. Being frugal I saved it for lunch leftovers for me and it tasted better after being doctored with spices. Thanks anyway!

Tender Onion Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2011

The kids loved it..I think next time I'll use real butter. The margarine had a funny taste to it...it's fresh though, I just bought the package of margarine last week. I omitted the extra salt after pouring the margarine on...just peppered it. The onion flavoring was good and the chicken was fork tender. Overall, good recipe and a cinch to make...thanks Kim in Oklahoma!

Normal Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 7, 2011

Such a strange name for an easy chicken dish! I think I will marinate the chicken over night in the sauces and then bake it for a more tender chicken breast. We pourd the additional cooked sauce over rice and it was pretty good. Thanks a millon!

Fabulous Football Dip

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

I guess Im going to be the minority here but I really didn't care for this and ended up taking home a pretty much full crock pot back home when I made it for a family function. The consistancy was pasty and the visual appeal was, well for lack of better words, it looked like puke! Sorry to be gross but honestly, it's not visually appealing at all and the flavor is too acidic...it's missing something.

Ground Beef Lo Mein

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

This was really good and yummy! I did add ginger like some of the other reviewers did and it gave it a nice kick. My youngest didnt care for this but she's also the pickiest eater ever! I didn't have any jarred gravy on hand so I used a packet of of gravy mix and made 8oz of gravy as the instructions said and added 4oz of beef broth to it as well. It wasn't runny at all and it had good flavor. I also increased the soy sauce to 2 Tablespoons and it wasn't too salty at all.

Quick Asian Beef Noodle Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2009

YUM!!!! I didn't have any bok choy but I did add a small can of mushrooms to this and even my picky 8 yr old ate it up! This was very easy, economical and it was nice to be able to whip something up with pretty much most things I have on hand. Will definately try it with the bok choy the next time but this is a keeper for sure! I used 1 pkg of chicken ramen and 1 pkg of spicy chicken ramen and it was so yummy!!! :) Thanks for sharing!!!

Beefy Cheesy Pasta

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2009

Easy, yummy and a hit with both hubby and my picky 8 yr old. My 7 year turned her nose up but she does on most ground beef dishes! More for us though, right? LOL! I only had 4 slices of American cheese but it was still yummy! I added a little more soy sauce because I used more noodles and 1 lb of ground beef but the flavors meshed together well and this will make awesome leftovers this week! Thanks so much!

Molly's Chicken

This was FABULOUS! Easy to make and the sauce was awesome over steamed rice! If you aren't into salty things I suggest using lower sodium Soy Sauce but other than that it was good and easy! Thanks so much!

Quick and Easy Brownies

Reviewed: Oct. 15, 2009

AWESOME! I had to cook these a bit longer than 30 min since I used a 9x13 GLASS dish but they came out great. Crunchy on top and CHEWY GOOEY on the inside...YUM!!!! I have never made brownies from scratch before ever (always used a betty crocker mix) but I can whip this up in a jiffy with ingredients on hand. I did omit the walnuts cuz I didn't have any but I will have to make them with them the next time! Thanks so much for posting!

Savory Cheddar Bread

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

I didn't have any dried mustard so I am wondering if this was the kick I was missing. I will definately make this again, just probably spice it up some more and use garlic salt instead. I didn't have onion salt so I added 1 tsp of onion powder and 1/2 a teaspoon of salt...I probably should have used a whole teaspoon of salt. But overall, it was a good recipe and I loved the texture of the bread!

Rainbow Pasta Salad II

Reviewed: Sep. 29, 2009

YUMMO and SOOOO easy!!! I didn't have any tomatoes so I omitted them but my neighbor brought over some fresh grown cucumbers and they were GREAT in it! I used my Tupperware Quick Chef to get the onions minced well and used a bottle of Zesty Italian. I have a lot of leftovers so tomorrow Im gonna toss some parmesan on it as well.... definately a keeper and I'll be using this recipe when we go to bbqs and family gatherings! Thanks so much Jennieanne!!!

Soft Chocolate Cookies

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2009

Not bad at all...my daughters loved them! I thought the batter was more of the consistancy of brownie mix and it wasn't rollable in an hr...but I just dropped them on the cookie sheet and went. Baked 3 dozen with this recipe. I didn't dust with confectioners sugar since we just moved here and I havent found my sieve but they were yummy and cake-like...almost like an oreo cakester!
