Comment on Award Winning Cheeseburger Soup by Maria

I have a love hate relationship with this soup, I LOVE the flavor, but hate how long it takes to make. (Mom of 14m old and 4 year old who tend to need me when I’m trying to cook🤦‍♀️) I follow the instructions as written. My family LOVES it and my husband would love for me to make this weekly lol. I do cheat and buy hashbrown potatoes so I don’t have to spend so much time on the potatoes And I cook bacon and add it in at the end.

I volunteered to take this soup to my son’s school teacher… any idea if it will do ok on keep warm setting in crock pot?

Ps. I would love if you found a way to make this in the instant pot!!

You’re welcome to use sour cream instead of the shredded cheese. It will change the color and flavor a bit, but I’m sure still be delicious. I wouldn’t substitute the full 1 cup; it seems like a bit much. I would start with 1/2 cup of sour cream first, then taste it and adjust if you need more.

I’m glad you like the egg roll recipe! Crumbed tofu or cauliflower rice could be a good vegetarian alternative for you. I’ve even seen cooked and crumbled tofu in the freezer section, which would make it easy for you!

Comment on Baked Turkey Meatballs by Lyn G

Tried this recipe with a few tweaks, and it was great. It’s one of the few meatball recipes out there that doesn’t require a million ingredients– just remember to buy the ground turkey, and then everything else is probably in your cupboard/fridge or has an easy substitution. 1) I used 93 percent lean ground turkey; 2) I added 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the mix. 3) I put the diced onion through a mini food processor to make sure I didn’t end up with chunks of onion; 4) added 1 Tbsp of Italian seasoning to the seasoned breadcrumbs; and 5) substituted 1/4 tsp of garlic powder for the fresh garlic, again to avoid chunks. I baked it on the top 1/3 of my oven to encourage browning.
