Noodle Bowls, from CL home page

[lu lu]

Has anyone tried any of these recipes? I think they all sound so good. I was thinking about tring the Carribean Shrimp bowl this week and just wondered if anyone had any reviews!

I just finished printing off a couple of the 'bowls and was wondering the same thing. Anyone? I was thinking of starting off with the minestrone bowl. TIA

While almost of the bowl recipes are on my list of recipes to try, the only one I have tried has been the French Onion Beef bowl. I have made it several times and we all like it. We probably do serve it with a little more cheese and DH loves lots of croutons on his. The leftovers are just as tasty.

We had the French Onion Beef Bowl last night and thought it was very good. Pretty easy to put together. Loved the cheese and croutons on top! So far we have liked all the "bowl" recipes we have tried.

I went to the home page but couldn't find the recipes. Could you let me know where they went? :)

TIA!

SUE'S NOTES : First time making this I browned the meat after removing onions. Once the meat was browned, removed and put onions back in pan and proceeded until all liquids were added and then simmer for 20 minutes with beef added at that time. Used spaghetti (didn't have sobo noodles). Tried this with ground beef too and it worked well.

This post originated in January, so it seems like those recipes might be long gone by now. If you do find them, however, let me know! They sound good!
