Tip

Cheese Grater Cleanup

When grating blocks of cheese, I spray the grater with nonstick cooking spray. The grated cheese seems to flow right off, and there’s a lot less waste. Cleanup is a breeze, too. —Rochelle Hoover, Rapid City, South Dakota

I loved this recipe. I substituted turkey Italian sausage for the ground chicken and it turned out fabulous!

my husband and i really loved this. i cut this recipe in half and i didnt have any thyme on hand so i used oregano, still yummy.

Hmmmm...I don't see anything special about this recipe and I felt like it was really bland. Ground beef would have been better for flavor. Not a hit in my house.

This is now one of our favorites. I used ground turkey instead of ground chicken - but everytime I make it for someone else they ask for the recipe!

My family loves this kind of meal and when I made it for them, it vanished so fast, it was amazing. I will be keeping this recipe and definitely making this again.
