Everyone loves a Cobb salad and this is a great recipe. It makes plain old, shredded iceberg lettuce shine. Bacon, hard boiled eggs, chicken, tomatoes, blue cheese, avocado, green onion and dressing.
These potato- and porcini mushroom-stuffed Ukrainian dumplings are like large ravioli. Serve them with butter and fresh herbs, fried onions, pork cracklings, or sour cream with dill.
I make this creative pizza for Super Bowl parties. The sour cream, bacon, onions and cheese make every bite taste just like a loaded baked potato. --Gina Pierson, Centralia, Missouri
A package of frozen hash browns makes this recipe simple to prepare. Featuring bacon and cheddar cheese, it's tasty breakfast or brunch fare. You can even make it the night before, keep in the fridge and bake the next morning--so convenient! --Cheryl Johnson Plymouth, Minnesota
This chicken and rice casserole would be yummy enough with just the salsa, Cheddar and sour cream. The bounty of sauteed mushrooms is an oh-so-good bonus.
A wonderful dish to make at home and it tastes like take-out. Beef strips are quickly marinated and sauteed then with broccoli and mushrooms in a rich sauce.
This originally came from Real Simple Magazine and lends itself well to improvisations. On the night I made it I realized I did not have any mushrooms so I left those out. My husband thought it was wonderful.
Empanadas are Mexican-style pastries filled with meat, vegetables, or even dessert. This family-sized version is known as an empanada gallega. It's served in wedges like a stuffed pizza. Pork Carnitas would also be a delicious filling. Leftovers are best reheated in the oven.
