Make-Ahead White Chicken Lasagna In reply to blondies: I havent made this yet but yes..it sits and soaks all night..I have made recipes similar to this..the sitting softens the noodles and absorbs the liquid so by the time you put it in the oven it is basically ready..Just so you know..I have found items made like this the pasta can end up a little more al dente than you would probably do if you boiled them ahead. I have had times where they ended up really al dente and other times just right.It depends alot on the type of pasta used and how much liquid there is to absorb but you cant tell until you try it once to know whether to adjust it the next time.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Gnocchi Soup I didnt add carrot or peas but I loved this. I thought it was very good and will definately make it again!

Bacon-Pepper Mac and Cheese I thought this was good..I do plan to add more bacon next time..I agree with several other posters about those who continually flood these reviews with their opinions of nutritional content or ingredients. This is for those who have tried and tasted it.There are community boards for those comments.For one if you dont like the numbers or ingredients simply close the window. No comment is necessary. Second, there are websites out there for healthy eating. If they are so worried about the nutritional contents why are they even looking on a site like Betty Crocker website? I wish these websites would stipulate that you have to actually TRY the recipe to comment or provide a link to a comment board for their opinions.Everything is relative to each person and things are ok in moderation and at the very least most recipes are adaptable.The negative reviews left by those who dont try it alter the whole rating system for no reason.Just my opinion.

Beef Stew An evelope of beef mushroom soup mix is easy to find. Its called Lipton onion soup and dip mix. They have regular onion, beefy mushroom and a couple others..They come in evelopes and 2 to a box.

Mocha Cappuccino Pudding Cake I have not tried this yet and I usually dont write anything about something I have not tried but was wondering if whole milk/fat ingredients would work with this or is it one of those types that the results are dependent on the fat content etc? I used to only use skim and low fat ingredients but recently starting using regular items again because I dont use them very often or very much at a time and didnt think they would hurt due to the amounts I use.
