    Partly my fault- I think, way too much sour cream, and did not have the type of noodle I needed, and i would have cut the amount of cream cheese. I also use recipes from there

    When I read that recipe, my first thought was that it would be "gloppy" with all the sour cream and cream cheese. Sorry it didn't work out, G. That's a lot of good ingredients wasted.

    I always copy/paste the recipe into a Word document, then I read the reviews and adjust my Word version of the recipe to suit. This also lets me edit the recipes that I try so I can tweak them and have a clean copy rather that scribbles (although I have a few of those, too.)

    I've commented before that there are lots of internet recipes where I doubt that the author--or even reviewers--ever tried making them. I had one back & forth with a guy on his pasta website where his cooking times on similar recipes for shrimp ravioli were way different. He replied "I'll go adjust them to match." I didn't ask how he was gonna decide which time was the "right" one. And folks like you & I waste our time and good money, and wonder what we did wrong.

    Fixed an experimental chicken and gravy dish where the gravy was the experiment. I used a mix of 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onions. 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 can of Campbells creme of chicken soup, 1 pkg ranch dressing mix, 1 pkg onion/mushroom soup mix and corn starch to thicken at the end. Onions, mushrooms and chicken breast pieces were first sauteed/browned, the pot was de-glazed and the chicken cooked in the gravy mix.

    sounds good, but would be way too much salt for me.

    IMHO, leftover meatloaf is the best, whether in a sandwich, standalone or drowned in mushroom gravy. Oh, yum! Meatloaf is also the fare by which we judge cafes, diners and eateries when out riding.

    Tonight is simple fare - steak and unions with green beans as a side.
