Just made 3 pkgs this morning. My store had buy one get one free. Why not. One is a hickory, one thick cut and 1 regular. Not the best quality bacon, but a basic grade. Perfect for garnishes, salads, sandwiches, etc. I saved some of the dripping as well and frozen. The other pkg is to use fresh because I need lots of drippings.
But what a great way to cook bacon. NO splat or spit and comes out perfect.
I used parchment paper, but same thing as foil.
The only time I cook bacon in the pan is if the recipe uses just a couple of pieces and I need the dripping for the dish. Otherwise, make ahead and freeze. And baking is the way to go.

Sorry for no photo, it was a quick lunch at work. Delicious. Simple, easy to put together and what a great way to use up my ham from Christmas. I used the small cocktail bread (pumperickel) since I had some on hand, but any bread will work fine. Really delicious!

Updated ... DELICIOUS! 10 Stars if possible. Wonderful flavors. I did add a bit more garlic, but that was the only change. Thx Derf, on my list to make over and over!

Delish! No complaints whatsoever. Perfect. Rich and comforting. I did add a few sprigs of fresh thyme and a little parsley at the end of cooking, but not too much. I will try to get a pic this week. I made this at my friends house and didn't have my camera with me. Fantastic recipe!

Delicious.
Instead of catfish I used mangrove snapper, because it was what I had it on hand. I made 2 filets, and on one of them I added some fresh bread crumbs on top. I was making another dish which had bread crumbs and I didn't quite use them all so I decided to add them to the fish.
Well, with or without the bread crumbs, the fish was great. The catfish would be excellent. Made it as is. Very moist and tender.

Delicious recipe! I only had one slight change. I didn't peel the tomatoes, I just chopped them. I don't mind the skins. But, that didn't change the recipe. Great flavor ... and I'm sorry my pic doesn't do it justice. I also would of used a greated parm - but I used what was on hand. Still same flavor. Very nice.

Well, I haven't made the chicken yet, but made the sauce. Easy, quick and delicious! So simple and quick to prepare. I am brining some thighs (bone in skin on) and also used some brown sugar in the brine, so I thought they will go nicely with it. The sauce is wonderful and would work on anything. I will post pics later. Great recipe!!

First, my apologies for no picture. I made this for one of the Ladies I cook for. It is all made, but she will bake it today for lunch. It was still warm when I dropped it off, so she will just be finishing it.
It turned out wonderful, and the flavor was very nice. I used large shrimp, and I did add Old Bay, a pinch of cayenne and black pepper. I thought it needed just a bit more of a kick. I also subbed out red for green pepper, but that certainly didn't change a thing - they looked better at the market. A little fresh parsley for a fresh flavor and color. But none of that really changed the overall dish. VERY TASTY, easy and quick to prepare. I did make a small tasting bowl (a couple of bites) for me, as I had never made it before - before I dropped it off. Mine did have the melted cheese and bread crumbs. A Very Nice recipe! My friends would certainly love it, and it will be made again.

First, the spoon tip does work - give it a try. Just such a nice simple potato. Buttery, easy to make, but a nice change from the average baked spud. My only change which didn't change the taste; was I used a mix of rye and white bread I had frozen in the freezer. (I keep a bag of leftover ends, or single rolls); so that is what I used, but they were fresh ground into crumbs.
Just a delicious spud!

I made these again; it has been a while, but they were just as good this time around. I too served with a little sour cream. I apologize for no pic, but I made them for a friend, so the camera wasn't with me.
Delicious! I love them.

Made these a few weeks ago. Delicious flavor. The only thing I didn't do was add the flour. The sauce for me was fine without it and they came out perfect. I did add a little garlic to mine as the onions cooked. Wonderful recipe!

I can't say I have made Bergy's recipe, but I want to vouch for it being a fantastic recipe. I have made this recipe for many years (I add a touch of rosemary) to mine, but for people who haven't tried this; it really is wonderful. You need to try it. And, as Bergy said, it really it a time saver and you would never know they were canned potatoes.

I just saw these in the pictures scrolling by and reminded me that I made them and I never reviewed them. I'm so sorry. I made them a couple of months ago for a lady I cook for. She loved them. It was for her card/game night and she said her friends thought they were delicious ... all but one, but she didn't like horseradish sauce. I of course had to try one before I took it over ... Quality Control :), but they were delicious. I did add spinach to mine, but it would of been equally as good without. Great recipe! Perfect for summer BBQ's, pot lucks, parties, or just a light snack or even a light dinner.

This was an unexpected last minute make dessert request for one of the ladies I cook for. I grabbed this because I had seen it before and it looked SO easy (my favorite with baking, but also good).
Well made it, they ate, and they loved it. I sent them the recipe and link. They thought it was fantastic.
You know me and baking ... NOT my thing, but made it as is and perfect. I'm sorry for no pic, it was baked and their house, so I don't take pics there. But I will tell you it was great. I got a piece too. And I don't like sweets and enjoyed it. That says a lot trust me. Delish! I did use the vanilla for the frosting, but otherwise, spot on!!

|
Made this for someone I cook for; and, it was fantastic. Simple and flavorful. I did add a couple small sprigs of thyme as it cooked, but otherwise made it as is. Nice and golden brown. I apologize for no pictures; but, I rarely take pictures of dishes when I cook for others. But trust me, it comes out perfect. A definite 'must make' recipe. And yes, fennel is often overlooked, but shouldn't be. And, for those who say they don't like fresh fennel; they really need to try is roasted or baked. Once it is cooked, it takes on a completely different flavor. DELISH !

I usually just use parm for these as I have made them several times. Tonight, I will use a thin slice of fresh mozz, PLUS the parm. This is such an easy nice recipe. I make mine most often on the grill. BUT same result. They are delicious!

Made this for a friend, for his Sunday football viewing, LOL. He loved it. I doubled the recipe. I did add some scallions to the dip, because my friend loves onions - just a couple. But, it was just as good without the onions. I had to taste for quality control of course. Served with crackers. Tasty, easy and quick. Perfect! And, Franks is my favorite, so that was a plus.

This is a great basic recipe for a juicy moist turkey. You can't go wrong with this. I often don't stuff my turkey as I prefer the stuffing separate, but when you don't stuff it with dressing; take advantage of stuffing it with flavor. I like to add a onion and orange (cut in quarters); and fresh herbs. It simply adds flavor to the turkey; and to the liquid/drippings which will become gravy.
This is a nice full proof method for turkey; the only thing I don't do is baste as often. A couple of times is all I do - but the more basting, more flavor; so it works.
Nice recipe!

I loved this basic recipe. I did add horseradish because I wanted a bit spicier. But, for those who want it a bit milder - it is perfect as is.
I served it with Baked chicken tenders. It made a great dipping sauce. The leftover, I had about 1/4 cup I brushed on boneless chicken breasts as I grilled them. Also, very delicious! Gave a nice brown crust - and tons of flavor.
Very nice, unique, change to the basic BBQ or dipping sauce. Will definitely make again.
