Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf (Paula Deen)

(8 people found this helpful) Posted by Kim D.  

Just saw Paula prepare this on her show; she put 3 slices of bread beneath the meatloaf to absorb the fat while it cooked (the bread is meant to be thrown away). She also added 2-3 tbsp. of brown sugar to the DOUBLED amount of sauce for the top to... — Raquel Grinnell Jan 15, 2007

Asparagus Lasagna

Posted by *Kathy*  

Fabulous! One suggestion: double the sauce, as the lasagna can be a little dry. I also used all chicken broth instead of adding the water for added flavor. Love the suggestions of adding chicken or smoked salmon! — Raquel Grinnell Jan 7, 2007

Made it last night with a few changes: doubled the recipe, using 1/2 Rotel tomatoes and chiles, 1/2 tomato sauce (less pureeing). Like other reviewers, I cheated and used taco seasoning (2 pkts.) instead of all the spices. I browned the beef first... — Raquel Grinnell Oct 18, 2006

30 Minute Chicken Noodle Soup (From Foodtv, Rachael Ray)

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Terry Barker  

What a great, quick soup! A few alterations didn't lessen how good it was: no parsnip, canned chicken breast, dried dill and orzo pasta instead of egg noodles. A big hit at our house that took about 40 minutes to prepare (how does she DO that in... — Raquel Grinnell Oct 12, 2006

This is still simmering on the stove, but it tastes pretty darn good so far, Steve! I doubled the onions, tripled the garlic, used 1/4 cup each fresh chopped basil and oregano from my garden, and only had 8 cups of tomatoes on hand, so I used just... — Raquel Grinnell Jul 27, 2006
