Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Fun and memorable recipe as does taste like an upgraded box version. Although turns out still just not that good.

    This was really good! I did improvise a bit but with her recipe as the inspiration, I’m okay with saying DELICIOUS. I cut it in half with 1/2 lb of gd beef & the meat from 1 small hot sausage. I then followed the ingredients/directions up til the end using diced velveeta in place of the American cheese. I followed her suggestion of adding pickled jalapeños and also added some more homemade sweet & hot pickled peppers. I upped the amt of panko (mixed with melted butter) before broiling. A final topping of green onions & chopped grape tomatoes resulted in an awesome dinner. It amuses me that the link provided here with this recipe goes to Food&Wine.com.....for homemade “hamburger helper” :)
