I happened to have all the ingredients on hand and had a last minute get together at my house last night and was really surprised at what a hit this was. A great twist on method of serving up typical taco night dish. I followed the recipe exactly. Super easy. Great flavor. The versatility of this recipe for substituting and adding ingredients makes it easy to customize to taste. Yum!

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

Reviewed: Nov. 28, 2010

Funny experience on this one: We had a couple changes - I used double the amount of pumpkin puree which made it a bit too mushy. Will try it again following the suggested amount. My husband set it on the hood of our car and it fell onto the road upside down! the cover kept it mostly intact but it didn't look too pretty when we arrived to the party. After sharing what happened with the guests (who gave it a thumbs up on taste) it is forever more renamed Pumpkin Roadkill. Lol!

Ham Bone Soup

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2007

I cooked this all day in a slow cooker on Christmas eve and everyone loved it. I had to substitute a few ingredients to what was on hand: 3 cans chicken broth, chopped mild green chilies instead of green pepper and stewed tomatoes instead of diced. I also added carrots and celery as suggested by others. This recipe will be a yearly tradition from now on.
