Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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).

I love this recipe, I make mine with ground turkey and its just as good. I usually use a tad more meat than a pound, but other than that. I wouldn't change a thing.

I love this recipe, glad I found it on line had lost mine. I don't like cottage cheese so I substituted ricotta for it. Favorite of the whole family, kids included
