This is a go to recipe for my family. My son asks for it on a regular basis! It’s super quick and easy, and the flavors are delicious. Sometimes I add 1/2 tsp less italian seasoing, but that’s just my preference. Thanks for sharing this.

This is delicious topped with chopped cilantro, slivers of red onion, sour cream, and lots of squeezed lime juice on top. This has become my family’s go to recipe a few times a month.

My husband and I LOVE this dish. It tastes exactly like Hamburger Helper but way fresher and unprocessed. Also SO easy. Definitely a favorite of ours.

This is one of our go-to dinner recipes. We have served it for others too and always get great compliments and people asking for the recipe. It’s a pretty giving recipe too but always turns out soooo good. And leftovers are delicious!

One of my favorites. Double the sauce, stir fry some veggies, cook some noodles, mix all together. It’s the best noodle dish. We love it.

Today will be the 4th time I make this dish. My extremely picky teenager, who insisted the first day I made it that he’d HATE the little bit I gave him, asks for me to make it weekly now.

These quesadillas turned out fantastic! I had some leftover grilled chicken and used a mix of habanero and aged cheddar cheeses for an extra kick. The instructions were straightforward, and the result was both quick and delicious. I paired them with a fresh salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

This was amazing! Different than my usual stroganoff recipe, but just as delicious – and I love that it’s a one pot recipe! Can’t wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today! Thank you for another fabulous recipe!

I made this and it turned out fantastic! I used Trader Joe’s roasted corn (frozen). This is definitely on repeat! Leftovers are great for work lunch.

I’ve tested out a few different homemade gnocchi recipes and this one is by far the absolute best! I always get a bit worried and think the potatoes are too dry but the gnocchi turn out perfect every single time!

-Brittany

Makes a very flavorful, clear stock and could not be easier. Yet another reason to love my Instant Pot!

Absolutely delicious and something my kids ask for again and again. As a bonus, it takes no time at all to make. It’s one of my favorites.

-Megan

17

I’ve made this no less than 10 times. Sometimes I follow the recipe exactly and other times I’m a little more generous with the veggies. It’s “Damn Delicious” every time, my family loves it, and just the small hit of Franks Redhot sauce complements the flavors beautifully. Thank you for such a simple and nutritious recipe, it’s a favorite of ours.

So good and customizable! I used spaghetti noodles because it was what I had. I will never buy frozen boxes of Lo Mein again. It was a hit with the family!

-Nikki

Excellent, just like all the other recipes I’ve tried of yours. I did not have a sweet onion within 25 miles of me in Montana, so I used a yellow one. Came out fantastic!!

Addictive!!! I’ve made this soup 3 times now in 3 months. It feeds a crowd, it’s so easy to put together, and excellent for a casual dinner with family and friends. When I’m not eating it, I’m dreaming about eating it.

-Susan

I made this for lunch today and my hubby and I both LOVED IT! My hubby asked if this was another “Damn” recipe and I told him yes and she hasn’t failed us yet!! Everything we’ve tried, we’ve loved. Thank you for another great recipe!!

-Elizabeth

23

Delicious! Used chicken thighs, doubled the recipe, and cooked in a 9×13 casserole. Turned out perfect and glad I made extra, everyone went back for seconds! Definitely recommend making.

-Brenda

This is the absolute best pot roast I’ve ever had. I am glad to replace our family recipe using packaged onion soup mix with wine and fresh herbs. Thank you for this recipe! It is damn delicious!

-Rachel

One of my family’s all time favorite meals and it’s so easy to make. The flavors are fantastic! I would definitely serve this for company as well.

-Kristy

I used panko crumbs, roasted garlic, and a Tuscan herb blend in mine. It turned out so delicious! I loved the flavor and crunch, and it was so simple. Great recipe!!

-Susan

28

As everyone else mentioned, these are great. The whole family loved them! I used olive oil because that’s what I had. My only advice is to make extra because they’re going to go fast!

It’s chilly in Boston today and will be even chillier tonight by dinner. This is my go to: 100% for the slow cooker. Set it and forget it. On the stove you need to keep a watchful eye but the slow cooker just makes for a ‘keep the home fires burning’ warmth. I recommend!

Best chicken fried rice I’ve ever made. Used soy sauce instead of salt to season the chicken. Everything else exactly as written. Delish! Thank you!!!!

Best sloppy joes. It didn’t need the brown sugar but if you like a sweeter version, it could be added. Served for a family dinner – ages 14 to 76. They are now a family favorite.
