What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
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'm trying this recipe today but with a few personal twists, so, we'll see how that goes, eh?!:-) I added some diced celery, subbed 2 of the 3 cups of water this recipe calls for with 2 cups of vegetable broth with the 3rd cup being filtered water. I used organic lean ground beef & as I can't have dairy, I subbed the cream this recipe calls for with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Should prove interesting to say the very least! Wish me luck
Can you use milk instead??

What kind of cream do you need for this recipe?
You can probably use heavy cream or half and half.

Very simple recipe but didn't have much flavor. Maybe use fresh garlic and add some other seasonings. I liked the texture better than I thought I would. Very economical recipe which is why I made it.

I browned the beef first because otherwise it would turn into a big clump when it cooked. I expected the rice to get mushy but it didn't really. The whole thing was creamy and it tasted good. I only cooked it for 3 hours and it seemed quite done.
