Easy and yummy. Will definately do again. We just used ordinary Idaho potatoes and it was fine.

It was a veyr easy recipe, but the BarBQ sauce overwhelmed the entire dish.

So easy to make! I also added celery chunks for more flavor. My girls enjoyed it and ate every bit.

This was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I ended up throwing it out after my husband wouldn't even eat it. It had a very strong tast of barbeque sauce and it didn't mix well with the italian dressing. It was disappointing to waste all that food. It couldn't be saved.

This is a really good recipe. It was the perfect amount of food for the three of us. Would recommend to everyone.

My family loved this. I added 4 cups of broth instead of 1 (because people were saying it was too barbecue tasting). I also added extra potatoes and carrots. Everything else was the same...and it was awesome!

This was very easy and very filling! I omitted the bacon since I didn't have any on hand, and added celery. I also added more veggies than the recipe called for, so I added 1 1/2 times the broth, dressing and BQ sauce. It turned out really well and has become a family favorite on cold winter days!

I don't cook often and have made this few times for get togethers with my parents and in-laws. Everyone was suprised that I cooked something this good! It's easy and a crowd pleaser!

This recipe was pretty good. If I make it again I will definitely add a little more beef stock and probably omit the BBQ sauce. The BBQ sauce took away from the beef flavor.
