"This was a huge hit, even with my raw-vegan friend! We've had hot days and today hit 108?, so I opted to adjust this recipe for the crock pot. I used ground turkey instead of beef. I cooked the turkey, bacon and the veggies per instructions, threw everything else in the crock pot, and then spent the rest of the day in the pool. Everyone really..."

"I loved how the red wine sophisticates the flavor of a classic hamburger pasta dish. The bacon is a very welcome flavor, kids love the macaroni, and I love how easy it is to make a homemade "hamburger helper". As is, this is an excellent base recipe. However, my family's taste leans a little more toward the spicy side, and in the future I'll tr..."

"OMG! What a surprise this recipe was! I will admit... I was scared by the idea of stirring Velveeta into my ground beef, and when I did it, it didn't look very pretty. I made this for a big pool party this weekend and I was worried that people would back away slowly, but instead they piled this into soft and hard tacos, and then after they'd ea..."

"This was absolutely delicious! I made a couple deviations in this recipe, but neither of them would have changed it's end result. I sliced my chicken into strips, as I was feeding a crowd, and I fresh ginger and my ginger "pancake" syrup instead of the bottled ginger. I had intended to make rice, to serve as a bed for this dish, until I realize..."

"Made this for a big BBQ/pool party this weekend and it was a big hit. I used diced tomatoes instead of stewed, as that's just what I had on hand. This is really the only way I want to make lasagna in the future. I love the smell of the sauce simmering and it really isn't that much work. Red wine is the secret to a good sauce and I loved that i..."

"I had some baby carrots I wanted to use up, and I needed a side dish, so I decided to look for a recipe while my main dish was in the crock pot. There are very few boxed foods we eat, but Suddenly Salad's Ranch & Bacon is one of them and this recipe came pretty dang close to the store-bought, without all the preservatives. As this was a last mi..."

"We really liked this recipe; quick and easy to throw in the crock pot, smells amazing all day and tastes delicious! However, I'm not a huge fan of liquid smoke. I had a bad experience with it once, when I was young and still believed that, "If a little is good... then more is better!". LOL So, for me the flavor was just a bit too prominent in ..."

"I wanted to adopt you during the Pick-A-Chef event, and didn't get the chance, but my family was so very excited to try this recipe that I made it anyway. Although we aren't vegetarian, we do eat veg once in a while and although we made this the first time with ground beef, we are looking forward to seeing how amazing the rice tastes with the gyr..."

"I am really particular about mushrooms, as I don't normally like them, but have been trying to develop a taste for them over the past couple of years. This recipe is an excellent way to serve mushrooms that aren't overcooked or tasting too much like mushrooms. I halved the recipe because it was just me & my 5 year old, but after tasting the fina..."

"Variations of spinach salad with warm bacon dressing have been favorites of mine since childhood. What I loved about this recipe, was the addition of fresh mint and using pears instead of apples. I could have eaten an entire meal out of this salad! We used seasoned feta in place of the chevre, as I already had it on hand. Thanks for sharing th..."
