Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup I made this recipe with 4 lbs of real potatoes, one large can of cream of chicken soup and half the water and with fresh shredded mild cheddar and monteray jack cheese and it turned out amazing! The only reason I shredded my own cheese and diced my own potatoes was because it was for a Sunday dinner and I had plenty of time. I also added fresh onion and 3 cloves of garlic. About 4 hrs into it I needed to turn the crock pot onto high and mash some of the large pieces with a potato masher. With sour cream, bacon crumbles, cheese and green onion, this was a winner. My husband is pretty picky and he even liked it, but he had it without the toppings. I made it with fresh bread and salad and it was more than enough, the family raved about it. This is definitely something I will make again, great hearty comfort food!!

Hearty Beef Stroganoff I was very disappointed with this recipe. It smelled and looked great before I added the sour cream. The sour cream flavor overpowered the dish. I did use regular sour cream so maybe that was the culprit. Perhaps only a 1/2 of regular sour cream would have tasted better.

Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes These were absolutely delicious! I have never made cheesecake before and they turned out great. I used regular cocoa and the color still looked the same as the picture. I used oreo cookies on the bottom and placed half of a raspberry on the top of the whip cream instead of more cookie and everyone raved about them. They were not difficult to make at all and they looked like they were! The home made whip cream topped it off. They are very rich and decadent, perfect with coffee. Definitely a hit!

Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie I made this today and it was delicious. I love casserole type meals and this was so quick and easy. After reading other reviews I altered the recipe a bit. I used Health Smart Bisquick and it tasted just the same. I used colby jack cheese and mozzerella and added garlic, chili seasoning, salt and pepper in the meat. Then I added red hot to the bisquick mixture. I added ketchup and BBQ sauce on top of the cheese before bisquick mixture and used one egg. The meat didn't hold together and I think that's because I used one egg. I used 1 cup of bisquick and 1 1/2 C milk. It turned out great and I would make this again.
