I used Knorr chicken bouillon powder, Hormel real bacon bits, Hidden Valley Ranch dressing powder, and Lawry’s seasoned salt. I decided to add only 1/2 tsp of seasoned salt and I’m glad that I did because it was really salty. I ended up adding a whole quart of half and half and it was still salty. So it made a lot but the taste was good and we don’t mind having some leftovers. It was very easy to make too. But the next time, I’ll only put 1 tbls of chicken bouillon granules and the ranch dressing powder, then adjust the taste with the seasoning salt after adding the cream.

This was delicious and easy. I used pork stew meat and doubled the veggies. Because I work from home and it was hot, I just browned the meat and veggies in a pan during my lunch break, scraped the bottom with wine then stock, then tossed everything in a slow cooker. I let it cook for 5 hrs. After tasting it, I added a pinch of sugar and a tablespoon of tomato paste. The sauce didn’t get thicken but we had it over mashed potatoes so it was fine. When we have it with pasta, I will flour the meat. The meat was very tender and I was glad that I doubled the veggies. I’ll make it again for sure!

This was easy, delicious and Covid-19 locked down friendly! I didn’t have a fresh tomato, so used a whole can. I added the juice from the tomato can when I was adding the salsa to the meat and some basic taco seasoning spices like chili powder, paprika and cumin while I was cooking the meat. I also used a can of black beans because I didn’t have the chili beans. And I only had about a cup+ of sour cream. It took longer to bake but luckily I was not working that day so that didn’t matter (I work from home and I normally only have a very short time to prepare, serve and eat before going back to work). My husband asked me to put this on his “requested recipe list.” Thanks!

I’m glad that I doubled the recipe because I had 2 cups but my hubby probably had about 4 servings/cups and the pot was empty. I was hoping that I didn’t have to cook tomorrow, but um... well, I guess I should be happy that he liked it that much. II was looking for a quick and easy recipe. It took more than 40 min maybe because I used a Dutch oven and doubled the recipe? But it sure was easy to make. I’m lactose intolerant so I used lactose-free half & half. I cooked onion with 1 tbl ghee(no lactose!) and 2 tbl canola oil then added 3 tbl of Earth Balance Buttery Spread before adding the flour. Although I’m intolerant, I love dairy and I haven’t found a non-dairy cheese substitute that won’t compromise the taste so I had to use real cheddar. Because of that, I still had to take my Lactaid pills but the result was a delicious soup that I could eat and made my hubby very happy. Thank you for sharing!

So quick and easy! What else can I ask for? And yes, it was delicious too.
