It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This is probably the best recipe for Bacon Cheeseburger Soup that I have found. After being in the restaurant business for a few decades, I have acquired quite the picky palate. The only suggestion I have is that everyone should make a double batch. 5 stars...all the way!

This soup was wonderful. My whole family enjoyed it.

Good recipe. I chose to try this one as it didn't have the sour cream as many of the other cheeseburger soups had...it was great. Good tip about thickening with the flour and THEN adding the cheese.

Loved it, made one change, I don't like processed cheese, so didn't use Velveeta, I chopped up a good cheddar (I'm from Wisconsin!) A little caloric, but really good! Thanks for the recipe, Margy
