This was okay for homemade chili especially if you need a recipe that is onion, pepper, and tomato free. Way too many beans though. I was really heavy handed in measuring my spices. This was a mild chili and we would eat it again, but it didn't make our favorites list. I didn't have pintos so I used dark kidney beans. For my personal tastes this could have used double the spices. Thanks Ken, your chili was good. We had no leftovers. The Hungry Teen had seconds.

Oh so very good! I baked mine at 350* for an hour. I used a smaller can of potatoes though as I am the only one who really likes them here.

Oh yeah! This is a simply perfect turkey. I had a 12 lb. turkey so mine was done in 2 hrs. at 350* I cut slits in the turkey skin and stuffed it with the bits of butter instead of rubbing it on. I sprinkled it with poultry seasoning too, but forgot the salt and pepper. I used 1 1/2 cans of chicken broth and only basted it once. I did cook this in a roaster with the lid on. It still got a beautiful golden even with the lid on! Thanks, I got lots of Mmmmmms. My husband even said I outdid myself this year and it was the best turkey yet. Easy Excellent recipe!!!!

This was a huge hit here. I used dried minced onion, 1 Hatch chile pepper diced, instead of the canned, and homemade chile gravy sauce from the "tex-mex beef and cheese enchiladas" recipe instead of making this sauce since I don't keep canned chili or enchilada sauce in the house. This was really quick and easy and my husband is looking forward to what little leftovers there were for his lunch tomorrow. Thanks, he said please make this one again, and SOON! He wants me to serve this over the holidays when family is here, it's that good. I would have given 5 stars, but since I used homemade sauce instead of the recipe that wouldn't be fair and accurate, but it was worth 5 plus stars the way mine turned out. Judging from the high ratings and small changes lots of reviewers made, I'd say this recipe is a winner for it's versatility and adaptablity to any cook and kitchen. So... many thanks!

Nice flavor, lots of pepper but I used fresh ground so I think it came out a little stronger than if you used pre-ground. This was a nice simple meal and tasty. I ran out of garlic powder and used minced garlic but it made the resulting paste harder to work with than I think a rub would have been. Still it tasted great and my husband is looking forward to the leftovers for lunch. Thanks for sharing this, we really enjoyed our meal.

My family raved over this dish. Even my husband, who isn't a rice fan unless it is fried rice, said how good this was and how well it went with the roast pork I had made. This seems to be a very versatile dish and would probably pair well with about any meat. I used linguine that I broke into sixths. Thanks, it's very good!

This was a great dish and really simple to make. I could throw this together anytime for a nice hearty meal. The Hungry Teen had two servings while my husband compared it to swiss steak which I agree, it does resemble. So other than it not really being what we thought of as "traditional" salisbury steak, it was good and I would serve it again if hubby was not here. (He does not like swiss steak). I didn't have mushrooms.

This was sweet and medium spicy, but the soy saltiness was way too strong for me in this dish. Seeing this was an asian type dish I used Thai sweet red chile hot sauce, but then also used 1/2 of the cayenne pepper sauce called for, louisiana style hot sauce. I used ginger paste from a jar. This was good but needs a few tweaks to make it great.

This was delicious! What a great family pleaser too. My husband loved that this was comfort food on a cool fall evening. I cut my chicken into strips and added a half can of cream of mushroom soup as well. I used canned portabella mushroom pieces drained. I added a good tsp of chicken bouillion granules with the water and used long grain uncooked rice. I just simmered this about 30 min and it was fantastic. The rice got a little brown on the bottom of the pan, but that was my favorite part! Thanks, very good dish.

This was nice that it used things I usually always have on hand to prepare. I used corn tortillas because that's tradition. Instead of canned green chiles I used 1 frozen Hatch green chile from my freezer and chopped it up still frozen. The sauce had a really nice flavor. It was similar to a marinara rather than a chile flavor sauce. It was thicker than I thought it should have been and a little sweet. The overall dish was a little dry though and needed more sauce. I cooked the meat with some chopped onion and garlic and added a little comino for flavor. We all liked this okay and agreed we would eat it again if prepared, but have other recipes we like much better.

Oh WOW! Spicy hot tangy sweet rich tomatoey YUM. These are sooooo good. I used ranchero salsa and louisiana hot sauce. I added 1 more spoon of sugar to balance the heat. I did add a tsp of minced garlic to the meat as it cooked and about half tsp of chicken bouillion granules and 1/3 c water. I had to simmer this though for an hour to get it thickened. Edible but a bit on the hot side the way I made them maybe louisiana hot cayennepepper sauce isn't the type meant here? Either way, they are delicious!!!

Don't mess this dish up like I did by using creole seasoning as it turned out way too salty. I was out of cajun spice so I didn't think it would matter. Next time I will look up a recipe for homemade cajun seasoning salt free. Otherwise this would have turned out pretty good. I used double the garlic as we love garlic.

This was alright but it wasn't impressive. I'd eat it again, but there are a lot of other rice dishes I'd prefer. The herbs were strong and it isn't a mild side dish. This was simple and not bad, overall a dish that is fairly versatile, like I said I'd eat it again. We had no leftovers here.

This was pretty much just rotel dip with meat. It was good though, but not spicy. If you want it spicy you need to use the "hot" blend of rotel canned tomates with chiles. I used leftover taco meat instead of ground beef since I had it available and was looking for new ways to use it up. This was good enough to make again.

This was very easy and fast to mix up. Rich banana flavor, moist and not overly sweet. I added 1/2 tsp salt for taste.

Meh- this was okay but didn't impress anyone. It filled our stomachs but I wouldn't make it again without a lot of additions. We thought it needed a lot more flavor. Thanks anyway, it is a good base to start with.

Wow. My husband raved over this rub and that just doesn't happen. It was sweet but the heat balanced it out. Due to changes in scheduling this sat for two days before we cooked them. The Hungry Teen didn't like the spice, he said they were too hot.

This was a nice hot meal and so quick and easy to fix. I used minced garlic from the jar and spiral pasta. I thought this needed some kick though and could have used a healthy dose of cayenne or crushed red pepper as well. Not bad, but I thought it was too bland for me.

This was a great little sandwich. It was similar to a sloppy joe without all the tomato saucey taste and spices. My husband said he liked this better than a sloppy joe sandwich and even went back for seconds. It was a bit dry though starting out so I added some beef broth and let it simmer until the liquid was gone, twenty minutes. No other changes. I'd eat this again, it was pretty good.

While this turned out very pretty we all thought it rather bland tasting. I made this several days ago and had to toss the rest of the cake (over half) since it didn't get eaten, a rarity at this house. I left the nuts out, but that didn't affect the cake enough to alter my rating. Sorry this just didn't work for us.
