I agree on mixing up the flavours Gary. You just never know how good a combo will be until you experiment.

I make something similar only I use Ranch dressing and Doritos on top! Quite good!

Any of you had baked spaghetti? It's really good and a little different them regular spaghetti! Some people like beef and sausage in their meat sauce, I prefer just the beef.

Just heading out the door to one of my favorites...A Smelt Fry. YUM!

i'm getting hungry reading all this. taco salad sounds good right about now. i have a certain fondness for mexican. especially any blazing hot stuff. i find myself putting habanero sauce on sandwiches now

[Zero G]

I love hot stuff! It's got to burn you at both ends though! I may have to make a really hot and spicy Caesar cocktail this afternoon.

[LT. Columbo]

the hotter the better. i like it to the point where you can barely stand it. where the tongue doesn't heal for a day or 2. tolerance buils up, that the only crappy part. have to keep getting hotter stuff. no regular stores sell what i consider hot sauce. have to go to a specialty store

[Zero G]

Heh heh, that's the stuff. Now I'm hungry for something real spicy!

If you like crab this dip is great and spicy:

1 pkg (8oz cream cheese)
1/2 cup mayonaise (I use miracle whip)
1 pressed garlic clove
1 pkg (8 oz) imitation crab meat, chopped
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 diced red bell pepper
a dash of crushed red pepper seasoning
1 tblspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Tabasco hot pepper sauce (I usually add a little more)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped
Ritz crackers, or other cracker or bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine cream cheese and mayonaise, mix well, press garlic in, mix well.

Chop crabmeat,slice green onions, dice pepper. Add all this and lemon juice to mix above. Combine all the other ingredients except crackers and almonds and mix well.

Spoon mixture in to a small baking dish, chop almonds and sprinkle all over the top of mix.

Bake for 25-30 min. Serve with crackers or bread

Add as much tabasco sauce and crushed red pepper for your taste. It's easy and good. You can also use 2- 6oz cans of white crabmeat drained and flaked instead of the imitation crab if you like.

Yes to PA

Where else in the world can you get mexican avatar who loves hungarian goulash?

The US (and Canada and Australia) are the melting (cooking?) pots of the world.

Another favourite recipe is to add taco meat to spaghetti sauce! Definately a new flavour to an old stand by!

We add all our meats ( meatballs, sausage, braciole, turkeynecks., chicken breasts...anything) after browning in the frying pan) to the tomato sauce while its cooking. Probably why we call it spaghetti gravy where I'm from.
