"I was surprised at how delicious this came out! It's such a great comfort food that I know I will be this making again in the future. And it's actually simple to make. This would be the perfect dish to impress family or friends. However next time I think I will make the rice layer just a little thinner. Use a whole pound of whatever ground meat yo"

"i think this may have been the best macaroni and cheese i've probably made! however, there were some things that i changed that would solve the whole greasy problem. first off, i used a whole pound of mini rotini. one 12 oz can evaporated skim milk plus a 1/2 cup of milk. now here's the catch, after cooking the pasta add 3-4 tbs of softened butter"

"the taste of all the layers was very yummy. however my jello made my cream cheese layer loosen and it kinda looked like mush. i chilled the cream cheese for about a half hour, should i do longer? or chill the jello mixture in the fridge because having it at room temp. didn't work for me. maybe i should try paula's strawberry pretzel salad.."

"i agree, i think there is too much mayo for the recipe. i like the flavor combo and the process of making the shrimp, but i think i will substitute something else for the mayo."

"it's interesting that people actually gave this a terrible rating. although i did make some pretty major adjustments. just went crabbing the other day and used a pound of fresh dungeness. i used a 1/2 cup of both ricotta and whipped cream cheese, since cream cheese seems to go pretty well with crab. instead of basil i used 2 1/2 tsp of old bay seasoning. stuffed about 10 manicotti shells and didn't use as much bechamel sauce. 4 tbs of butter and flour and about 3 cups of 2% milk. cranked it to 375 with some buttery panko on top and it made for a really yummy, but rich, dinner. i could only eat like 1 and half shells.
i like to read through a recipe to see if i like any of the ingredients there and if the measurements are to my taste. that's why i only gave it 4 stars because i loved the idea, but it was a fairly off from the original. "

"this was so good! i have never worked with tomatillos before, but they were so tangy and good in this recipe. if you've never have either, try them in this recipe. it's a great start and so delicious."

"yum!"

"This risotto was actually pretty good. It was my first time cooking risotto and I know I will definitely be making it again. However this recipe was a little too rich for me. The taste was amazing though. I would recommend making this. I'll do some of my own tweaks in the future."
