Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2010

Delicious! My picky boys don't like meatloaf, generally, but they adored this. It was a great change from the traditional. Excellent--a keeper!

I made this last night, following the recipe exactly. I was very excited because of the rave reviews. I don't want to be overly critical, but it truly tasted like pinto beans mixed in a super sugary filling--it was not very pleasant at all. I'm so sorry to leave this review, but I'd stick with a traditional recipe because this didn't taste like pecan pie.

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2009

We eat alot of fish, and this is by far the tasiest tilapia recipe I have found, while being the easiest. I made this exactly as written. Even my picky 3 year old (who doesn't like fish) asked for seconds. Very flavorful, wonderful with steamed asparagus.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2009

Very good. A bit sweet for my personal tastes, but this is one of the very few pork recipes my small children will eat. I made this exactly as written. Would make again.

Aunt Edith's Baked Pancake

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2009

This is an excellent recipe. I first had basked pancakes at an area bed and breakfast. It was so delicious. I started looking for a similar recipe and stumbled upon this one. It is fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly! I have made this several times now, and I make this one for me and a slight variation for my husband, stirring in diced sausage, bacon and cheese to the batter for his as a savory one. I make an apple cider (or juice) syrup with this, as it goes beautifully with it. Note: I do add cinnamon and 1t. madagascar vanilla to it the batter.

Giant Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2004

The best! I am not a fan of the common, Toll House typr chocolate chip cookies. We have a bakery down the street that has big, crisp cookies like this and I have such a weakness for them. Well, they are $1.75 each there and I made this recipe EXACTLY the way it is written with no modifications and THESE ARE BETTER THAN MY BAKERY DOWN THE STREET!!!! These are the BEST!

New York Finger Lakes Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 29, 2004

Being that I have lived in the Finger Lakes region of NY for 29 years (minus one year in Savannah, GA), I really WANTED to like this. HOWEVER, it tastes NOTHING like the "famous bbq sauce" that the Finger Lakes is known for. This is missing many spices and came across very, very bland. My family and I were very disappointed.

Beer Cheese Soup II

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2004

I don't understand the other reviewers' complaints about this being thin or grainy. I followed the recipe to the letter and it came out smooth, rich, and delicious. I love The Flying Tiger's Beer Cheese Soup in Buffalo, Ny so much that I have driven there numerous times from here in Rochester (60 miles). I no longer have to. This recipe is restaurant-quality soup. Don't be afraid to try this based on the handful of bad reviews. This is well worth it!

Hot Fruit Salad

Reviewed: Mar. 12, 2004

Yuck! This was like school cafeteria leftovers gone bad! The mix of canned fillings, applesauce, etc, then served warm just tasted terrible--like having warm jello or something. I cannot believe I tried this recipe. I served it to me, my hubby, and 2 not-so-picky nephews. Terrible. Sorry.

Tuna Noodle Casserole I

Reviewed: Nov. 12, 2003

This was quite good. I have tried 6 recipes on this site for tuna casserole and this one is by far the best one. I give it 4 and not 5 stars because it was a bit dry, so I added a can of fat free cream of mushroom soup to add moisture. I also added seasoned bread crumbs on top. Very good, quick and easy for busy stay at home moms like me.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2003

The name is truly accurate--these ARE the BEST brownies! I love to bake and had settled on a good basic recipe using cocoa. This recipe--melting the butter first and using the same pan to mix the remaining ingredients--is simple and the result is bakery-quality. The icing did need about a tablespoon of milk as others stated. That was the one thing I changed as far as the main recipe is concerned. I also had come Maraschino cherries and added some to the top of the icing to give a little color and extra "black forest" type taste. Fresh raspberries are also good on top. These are the BEST and I will be baking brownies with this recipe from here on out!

Cappuccino Cooler

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2003

YUM! I absolutely love frozen coffee drinks, but being pregnant, I can't drink the ones from Dunkin Donuts or Tim Horton's since they contain so much caffeine, and the $4 at Starbucks are too pricey and several miles away. SO...I found this great recipe and it tastes great! Just like the ones in the cafes. Thank you, Susan! This is great.

Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie

Reviewed: Jul. 17, 2003

I don't understand how that one reviewer said this isn't a "real chicken pot pie". She/he must've been jealous that this was someone else's recipe! I made this for dinner tonight. I usually just make the quick Bisquik recipe for pot pie, but I'm pregnant and making recipes to freeze for when the baby comes. THIS IS DELICIOUS! I love cheese in anything. I didn't know if my hubby would, but the two of us ate 90% of it for our dinner! I followed this recipe exactly except for using frozen beggies and thought it had extra zip with the cheese. This recipe is quick, easy, and tastes like it took hours. It's very filling and I will definitely make more of this and pass the recipe onto my friends! GOOD JOB!

Dave's Low Country Boil

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2003

Simply delicious. My hubby and I lived in the lowcountry of GA (in Savannah) and dined at a local restaurant by the ocean that served this. We ate it all the time until we moved back to NY, where you CANNOT find lowcountry boils!!! I was having a pregnancy craving for this dish and made it last night for dinner. It's been nearly a year without us having this dish and it is GREAT! This recipe was very similar to the taste of the boils we ordered at The Crab Shack (not the chain) on Tybee Island, GA! Wonderful blend of tastes and I WILL use this recipe again!

Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 4, 2003

VERY, VERY bland. It says "cheesy" in the name, but you can hardly taste the cheddar cheese soup in it--it needs 2 cans. The peppers taste like they do not belong with the tuna. It definitely needs something extra in it. It came out pretty dry and tasteless, though it looked good and was quick to prepare. I will not make this again without altering about half the recipe.

Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce I

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2003

Yuck! I always try to find one positive because some people cannot take criticism well, and I usually find ONE good thing about a recipe. The only GOOD thing about this AWFUL sauce is that my crock pot is finally rid of it. I cannot believe this is a recipe that's been passed on for generations! The spices are so overwhelming and do not blend kindly. This was awful--one spoonfulwas all it took to realize that we weren't having it for dinner that night--or EVER AGAIN!

Abby's Chicken Rollatini

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2003

I am NOT a chicken fan. It's usually too bland no matter what recipe or variation I use. HOWEVER, this recipe is absolutely delicious!!! Just the smell of it in the oven clued me in that this dish was a keeper!!! I followed the recipe EXACTLY, rolled up the chicken and was done preparing it in about 10 minutes flat. My husband is picky and doesn't really like chicken either, but he ate every last piece and asked when we could have it again. I will make this a staple. The flavors blended perfectly and tasted like a dish I might order out to dinner. THANKS FOR THE AWESOME RECIPE!

Restaurant-Style Hashbrown Casserole

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2003

This is very good! I like it better than Cracker Barrel's version because their's is usually too greasy from sitting all day in a greasy pan. The only thing I did differently was cut the onion down to only 2T (I'm pregnant and am having a slight aversion to onions!). I also added one can of Campell's condensed cheddar cheese soup in addition to the cream of chicken soup because I love cheesy potatoes. My husband ate about 3/4 of the pan in one sitting! This is easy to prepare and very filling. Nice recipe that I recommend!

Becky's Chicken Salad

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2003

This was good. I was expecting something extraordinary after all the reviews, but I was just OK with the original recipe. The almonds aren't quite the right complement to this salad either. It has too much mayo and is a bit bland, and that is why I will only give it 3 stars. After following other reviewer's suggestions though, I was able to make a delicious salad adding apples as well as walnuts, cutting down the mayo, adding a little sweet relish and even a hint of nutmeg, then serving it on a croissant. I wish I could give this recipe a 4 or 5 star rating, but most of the recipe was altered based on other reviews.

Glazed Meatloaf II

Reviewed: Apr. 24, 2003

Delicious! I just made this after trying, without great satisfaction, 3 other meatloaf recipes. This is moist, but not greasy at all! The lemon added a wonderful touch without being overpowering at all. I love the topping, and have made other glazes like it, but never thought to add lemon juice. My husband normally will grin and bear meatloaf night. Not this time. He loved it so much that there aren't any leftovers for a meatloaf sandwich in my lunch tomorrow! I highly recommend this great recipe!!! The only thing I did differently is add 1/4 cup French's Fried Onions crumbled up into it because I don't like chopping onions.
