Reviews

  1. Stupid easy and so, so good! I followed the recipe *almost* exactly, I did add a little bit of half and half because it seems pretty thick at first. Not much, though, maybe 1/3 cup, and I'm glad I didn't add very much because this came out like a thick creamy stew and we loved it. This is on permanent rotation at our house. Yes, it's bound to be high in sodium with the ingredients, so that shouldn't lessen the stars in a review. (And just to make a point I've wanted to make here for years: When you see a 1 star nasty review, if you check you will almost always see that the "chef" joined, has no recipes, no saves, and one review that's bad. I think they're called trolls? Anyway, just sayin'. ) Thanks for posting this great,easy recipe, Heather!
     
  2. I love this recipe. The sauce is divine. I have made this many times, and everyone always loves it. I use about half the package of dry ranch dressing mix, but it is not too salty even using the whole package. <br/>You can also add some chopped onion, a sliced carrot or two, a touch of minced garlic, a couple fresh mushrooms and a dash of red pepper flakes if you wish. I have even substituted the potatoes with turnips or rutabagas. The supreme sauce loves experimentation.<br/>Thanks you, Heather. This is a definite keeper.
     
  3. Super Easy and delicious....whole family loved this. Will definitely make this again...I had no issue with saltiness and made it just as directed. Thanks for sharing:)
     
  4. I would give this a 4 1/2 star, but DH overruled me and said 5 stars, 12 month old inhaled the potatoes, which he ususally doesn't care for. I used about a pound and a half yukon gold potatoes I had on hand and about a pound of browned kielbasa sausage. Left the other amounts the same, but added a can full of chicken stock, some garlic and salt / pepper. The end result was good, I think without the extra liquid the sauce might have been too thick for us. As I made it, turned into a nice gravy consistency, was a tad salty for my taste, would probably add low sodium broth/soup and no salt next time. Used some homemade wheat bread to soak up the sauce and garlic green beans on the side. Very good and pretty darn easy! Will make again soon per DH request!
     
  5. Quick, easy, tasty, economical. I'm not sure why one review came to this recipe expecting it to be healthy. That's like showing up at a fried chicken restaurant and complaining the food is not healthy enough.

Tweaks

  1. Added carrots and onions.
     
  2. I added about a half a cup of chopped onions and about 4 cloves garlic, minced. Added Colby Cheddar shredded cheese to the individual bowls. Delicious!

  3. Lowered sodium by using lower sodium ingredients.
     
  4. I use cream of chicken soup and about half a can of chicken broth, in place of the cream of celery. I also only use about half a packet of ranch dressing and cut up Idaho potatoes.
     
  5. changed the soup to cream of mushroom, used low-fat cream cheese, added peppers/onions.
