I've had better from a box of Hamburger Helper! This was bland. I tasted before putting in oven and had to add chili powder, garlic, extra cumin and diced chiles before it had any real flavor. it also needed about a cup more rice. No one really cared for it. It wasn't disgusting just not a dinner meal for me, maybe as a side. It reminds me of the burrito filling at Taco Bell.

Anniversary Chicken I

Reviewed: Dec. 20, 2008

I CAN FIND NO COMPLAINTS. Excellent dish. Tastes great! Just cover with aluminum foil while baking and the cheese won't burn. For all the people complaining about the color...I've made this twice now and the second time I didn't smother it in the teriyaki and ranch...just brushed it on. Tastes the same and cuts back on the saltiness. Made mashed potatoes on side and used bacon bits, cheese and green onions in mashed potatoes. I've been getting weekly requests for this meal.

Spaghetti Carbonara II

Reviewed: Dec. 12, 2008

This was good. I thought that it would be similar to the Cheesecake Factory's Carbonara...it was in taste but it was rather dry. After making it, i decided to add seasoned chicken breasts sauteed in olive oil. Next, I added about 1 cup of milk to give it a creamier texture...The pan was finished quickly! It tastes good with or without the modifications!

Salisbury Steak

Reviewed: Nov. 19, 2008

MUST READ!!! I GIVE THE STEAKS THEMSELVES A 5...They were moist, tender and simply delicious. Hiowever, either make your own skillet gravy with leftover oil drippings (like I did second time) or buy it canned. Also, patties are very greasy so drain and even blot with paper towels. After browning in skillet, I poured gravy over them and baked them in oven instead of finishing them off in pan. These were great!

Chicken Enchiladas II

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008

Lots of work but these were good. I used a homemade enchilada sauce found on the website and they turned out perfect! Lots of work though!

Sarge's EZ Pulled Pork BBQ

Reviewed: Oct. 10, 2008

This was excellent! I was cautious because I didn't know how the coffee would make it taste, but there was no hint of a coffee type flavor. The meat was liiterally falling apart...it was so tender and smelled so good! I used pork shoulder and rubbed with salt, pepper and garlic. Thje excess fat from the shoulder portion was no big deal becasue of the tenderness of the meat it was so easy to seperate. Used KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce when it was done...eaten up in a day!

Grilled Orange Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

Perhaps I did something wrong...I followed the recipe. Just the smell of the balsamic mixture was horrible. I thought it'd taste better when done but it didn't. All I tasted was vinegar. No orange flavor what so ever. I even made an orange sauce out of more marmalade, fresh oranges and orange juice and soaked chicken in it, nothing could get rid of that horrible vinegar taste. Will never do this again.

Tender Italian Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

Very good...especially with alfredo pasta and sauce. Only change is that the second time I made it I seasoned chicken with salt and pepper...it gave it a better flavor

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Aug. 16, 2008

This was absolutely delicious. I've been trying to add to my kitchen knowledge with new recipes. I cam across this and decided to try although I had my own recipes...this has replaced my own! Reluctant at first because of sweetness but it was a great flavor. Very moist and tender. MAke extra brwon sugar sauce and put on top of meatloaf though. This is one of my all time favorites!
