This recipe was very good. I've never done a taco type soup before so I decided to give this a shot. I didn't have some ingredients on hand, so I just used two cans of black beans, one can of regular diced tomatoes and a full can of tomato sauce. I also didn't have the seasonings on hand (except for taco seasoning) and this recipe was still delicious. I added garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes and it was very, very good. However, I do think the beer gave it a bit of a bitter taste, but I hate beer anyway. May try the chicken broth next time, but my husband LOVED it the way it was. Highly recommend serving with cheese and crushed taco shells/chips and any other dressings you see fit. delicious

Chicken Pot Pie IX

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2009

Hands down one of the best pot pies I've ever had! Used a flaky pie crust recipe from this site for this recipe and my dinner was a HIT. NO ONE in my family likes veggies OR pie crust (especially husband) but they ALL cleaned their plates. I even had this for breakfast the next morning. I highly recommend this recipe. I did follow some of the changes, mainly doubling the sauce stuff, and it turned out wonderfully. I would highly recommend doubling the sauce because otherwise I DO believe it would be too dry. It was just perfect with the sauce doubled.

Basic Flaky Pie Crust

Reviewed: Jan. 23, 2009

This pie crust is wonderful. I have never made a pie crust in my entire life-never had a need to as I usually HATE pie. BUT...I decided to make a chicken pot pie and needed a crust. Whipped this up around lunch time, put in the fridge, and four hours later took it out. When I tried to roll it out cold, it was a disaster, so DON'T do that! I couldn't even roll it out at all, so I warmed it up a bit with my hands, rolled it out and viola! This recipe WAS NOT enough to make a double crust for my pot pie. I am baking the same thing tonight and doubled the recipe, we'll see how it turns out! Like I said, I HATE pie, mainly the crust, but this was so delicious I even had it for breakfast the next morning. My husband even ate it!

Vegetable Cheese Soup I

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2008

This was fabulous with a few changes. I used 2 cans of chicken broth, cut up celery, carrots, and about 3 potatoes. I added a pinch of celery seed and some cut up chicken. I also omitted the creamed corn. Cooked on high about 4 1/2 hours then added the jarred cheese, and thickened it with some shredded cheese. It was phenomenal. My husband does not eat veggies and he chowed this down like there was no tomorrow.
