Oh, my gosh! This is wonderful! I was looking for an idea for left over steak. Found this. I doubled (at least!) the sauce. Used garlic powder, ground ginger and cayenne pepper (both ground and red pepper flakes). Also ~ the only juice I had was apple/raspberry. Used frozen 'california blend' vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and zucchini) and frozen baby green beans. then, to top it off, i was out of rice!! Served it with cooked spaghetti noodles. picky daughter asked why i don't make it more often. We will add this to our meal rotation!!! REALLY REALLY EASY WITH LEFT OVER STEAK AND FROZEN VEGGIES!!! thank you!

I was surprised I hadn't reviewed this yet. I have used this recipe over and over again. I have made it exactly and have since made my own changes. Less chili powder, whole package taco seasoning, palmful of cumin/peppercorn blend (not ground). I have used this for (flour and corn tortilla) tacos, pork chili, chimichangas, taco salad and my son uses it for sandwiches. I do use my crock pot, but after shredding the meat I put it in a large pot with all juices and simmer until juices are more concentrated. Get RAVES from family/friends!! Ironically, my name begins with letter D!! Thank you, Dee!!

FANTASTIC starter recipe for me. I, too, will have to up the heat. I used ground red pepper in the hopes to "hot it up" (per the reviews). Will need more or maybe both ground and flakes! Anyway, used this on chicken thighs and legs ~ grilled on hardwood charcoal. YUM! My picky 14 year old LOVED it! Can't wait to try it again. Used olive oil (personal preference) instead of veg oil and ground garlic instead of fresh. I was in a hurry and didn't marinade it long, either. Will use this one again, for sure!!

Loved this. I also used canned tomatoes and a green bell pepper as that's what I had on hand. Also added a chopped jalapeno, as we like the heat. HOWEVER, I used left over grilled steak for the beef and since I'd used a bit of mesquite when I grilled the steak, the meat had this smoky flavor that was WONDERFUL in this dish. thank you.

I had this recipe pulled up to make for the Super Bowl last night. Ran to the store to pick up a couple items and when I came home, my internet was down. I had to make this new-to-me recipe from memory. Here's what I did: Browned the bacon (actually 9 or 10 slices) Cooked small cubed red potatoes in the bacon grease while I chopped up half an onion and minced 3 cloves garlic. Added that to potatoes. Then I sliced the cabbage up like it's shredded ~ added to the potatoes/onion/garlic. Remembered: oh my gosh, there was a small amount of sugar water. so, I add about 2 T of sugar to a small amount of water and pour it over the whole. Then I added salt, pepper, some caraway seeds (i found out today I used WAY less than called for in the recipe, but it was perfect for us!) and some crushed red pepper. I browned the kielbasa in another skillet then poured that over the cabbage. I got it pretty durn close! MY FAMILY LOVED THIS. We WILL have this again and probably add it to the regular menu line up! Thank you!

3 stars because I've just started ~ how bout 3 stars for EASE of prep!! Well, I've started the recipe. It's on my stove coming to a boil. I did use 1/3 cup soy sauce per other reviewers. My rosemary is dried so I whirred it in the spice grinder to powder it a bit. Same with the oregano (leaves ~ ground it a bit to powder ~ but not completely powder). Did use cilantro. I did not have enough fresh garlic so used what I had (half head ~ about 4 HUGE cloves) and put some garlic powder in it. Used 3 small bay leaves and one fresh lime (juice). Also put in some course ground pepper. OMG it smells heavenly. I am anxious to see how this turns out. It's been my experience that boiling pork makes it dry.... I'm very hopeful. About 2 hours later... I boiled those ribs *really low* very slow... Just got to wondering what to have WITH them. I pulled the meat out, used 1 1/2 cups of broth (with 2 1/2 cups water) to make rice. Cooking down the little bit of liquid left to make a sauce. (a cup o red wine in it would be great!!) The ribs were bone in country style pork ribs. 9 of them. they are FALLING APART. The flavor is delectable!! I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN!! Thank you

almost the same as mine ~ Try coffee instead of water and ~ sprinkle it very liberally with cinnamon sugar before baking. makes a nice SWEET crust that complements the chocolate and coffee flavors. That's how the fam likes theirs!!

Oh, my gosh. This is wonderful. I used chicken breast, cooked it up with fresh garlic and set aside. Then, I used fresh garlic again with the sauce, sauteing the garlic with the butter. ah... served with garlic bread and California blend veggies. WONDERFUL. Will make again!

This is very similar to my recipe, except I use one small box of Jello with a coordinating 12 ounce soda pop. ONLY. no water. I always make it for bbq's! EVERYONE loves this refrigerated cake on a hot day. Even had a 'chef in training' compliment this cake!

OH MY GOSH... what a shock to see *my* secret recipe on the internet... lol. I've always done my turkey mostly this way. I also put butter under the skin as some reviewers do... and use chicken broth. Oh!! and big ol chunks of onions and celery around, under and in the bird. But (I don't recommend this method) I put my bird in on 250 degrees late late Wednesday night... don't baste at all, get up early and remove foil, baste REALLY well, turn up the heat to 375 until brown, basting often. Always excellent!! Frees up my oven, we wake up to the smell of *Thanksgiving* and it really sets a great mood for the day. Have done this for years!!

Awsome starter recipe. I used 2 cans diced tomatoes, a can of corn, also added a can of Ranch Style Beans. Cooked the onion and spices with the meat. Added additional amounts of spices after draining onion/meat mixture. Also chose to cook macaroni with the meat mixture which required extra water. Family added shredded cheese to their portions. Super easy delicious recipe. Whole family loved it!!!!!
