Aww thank you Mandy for trying my recipe and for the well wishes!! I’m glad your family enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MandyintheMaking]

It's so good! Thank you for sharing it!!!

[@NitaKerns]

Your recipe looks SOOOOO GOOD!!

[@HesstonandTandem]

Congrats on your wedding Laura!! Your recipe looks delicious 😋😋

[@jgodwin717]

Looks yummy

[@lauramartin3068]

Maybe have a new taster

[@sandras.435]

Somebody is pushing up to that 100,000 mark. You deserve it.

[@sism3028]

Yes! You definitely deserve it! Love your videos/ recipes!

[@melaniewhittington7857]

I love it when you get distracted. Makes me feel okay because I’m the worlds worst to get distracted ❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Who needs cookbooks or Food Network when Mandy gives you 3 delicious recipes every Friday?! Mmhmm everything looks so delicious. You never disappoint.

[@MandyintheMaking]

Aw, thanks Alma! I hope you have a great weekend!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@MandyintheMaking you're so very welcome. Thank you. Y'all too. Snow and ice is finally melting here.

[@rhondachancehollingsworth7350]

Ok, 3 things.1- the dreamy look that Steven gets when he takes a bite. 🤣gets me every time!! 2- why have I never precooked my peppers in the microwave? I'm almost 60, have been cooking over 50 years, and I never thought to do this! 😳 And 3- I now officially have a saved folder labeled "Mandy"!! True story! ❤💗

[@MandyintheMaking]

You just made my day! Thank you for watching and for your sweet comment, Rhonda!

[@mixedupjo]

Yes, yes, and yes. I print the recipes (or hand write them) so I have hard copy. They are in sheet protectors in an aqua binder that's ALL Mandy. She has a very loyal fan club. If the boys love it, you really can't go wrong. The baked caesar chicken from 1/10/20 is a MUST TRY! She should get royalties from the products she uses because we go buy them.

[@justme5544]

Yes! I have a Mandy folder too!

[@sunshinevibes4357]

I have a category on my Pinterest recipes for Mandy in the Making recipes!

[@mixedupjo]

@@sunshinevibes4357 I do too. But if you've crashed as many hard drives as I have, hard copy is good to have.

[@KellyIrving-hr8he]

I love the way Steven shuts his eyes when he takes his first bites!! 😊😊😊😊

[@HeatherTerry84]

Okay but seriously Mandy, you need to go on that show The Next Food Network Star! You would seriously win!

[@tiktok11150]

Mandy has consistently put out good videos and is close to 100,000. If we rally and share two favorite shows on social media she should hit the mark by the end of next month.

[@kristyb5821]

Gracie Lou and my English bulldog Moose need to be best friends. They both think they are starving whenever the people eat. They both have the perfect, I’m so abused, neglected and starved look that makes you feel so guilty. I love it! She’s adorable

[@heatherashley559]

Y'all are so adorable!!! I also love how you say you are not in the mood to cook and then proceed to make biscuits from scratch. LOL

[@MandyintheMaking]

Haha! But that was later in the afternoon. I was a little more in the mood then. LOL

[@tudywittlake1072]

You have a calming voice. You need your own cooking show.

[@marvywall]

I love this channel! My 11 year old was watching and the subby supper recipe was being tried and he said that looks so good! I asked him even with the spinach? He said yes and asked if I would ever make it. I told him I'll make it right now I have all the ingredients. I made it with just one can of cream of mushroom and one can of french onion. I finely chopped a small onion and cooked it all in my everything pan on my stovetop. Turned out great! Thanks so much for your great channel!

[@monmlam]

your husband seems so supportive! so adorable 🥺

[@mackenzie5716]

My husband was listening to this while I had it playing and he heard your recipe for the biscuit and gravy casserole and said “that sounds so good I wanna cry” 😂 And he’s a chef (literally how we pay the bills!) so it’s his way of complimenting you 😂😂

[@jacquiesmith9347]

I think this recipe should be made from scratch and made in the frying pan. Also I think it needs more gravy.

[@MissFletcherin]

Thank you for making these videos. It might sound silly, but some days it’s nice to just escape into KZbin land and binge watch my favorite channels. 🙏🏼

[@alpacawhisperer]

even BEFORE steven could say it, I was already thinking 'Steven and Gracie are gonna be HYPE"

[@jb6712]

Oh! I thought that sound might have been Steven's and Cole's reactions to how good the food was 😁! There's a 3 ingredient biscuit recipe that's absolutely phenomenal simply because the woman uses 3/4 Cup of buttermilk (she said any milk will do, but we all know what buttermilk does in baking!) and 1/2 stick of butter, very soft, in the dough along with the AP flour (2 cups). The process is all the same, of course--mix, knead, put some extra flour onto the counter, pat out the dough, cut out the biscuits, bake at the same temp and time as the 2 ingredient ones. It's that one addition of butter, plus changing up the milk to tangy buttermilk, that makes the difference.

You know another good touch would be adding shredded potatoes to that casserole😋

[@vickiehudson2668]

If anyone on here has not tried it, type in rice crispies southwest stuffed bell peppers online and make them. It is weird because, they are made with rice crispies cereal instead of rice. You can't even tell. I made some of them and brought them to work. They said it was the best stuffed peppers they ever had. They are really awesome. Thumb up to their recipe because they are the bomb. I do use red peppers instead of green and I am not a fan of olives so I omit them. It's funny because you can hear the snap, crackle and pop when you mix the cereal in with the other ingredients. They are the best. I am hooked and so, that's my always go to recipe for stuffed peppers now.

[@thewadsquad]

Your cat stole the show for me! haha Your recipes look great!

[@catherinemcfarland6401]

I love how your family is so appreciative of your cooking. You have a great family...and Gracie is adorable.

[@amythompson6056]

Another easy crockpot chicken dish...3-4 chicken breast in the crock pot. Top with 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a medium diced onion (I have to cut the onion into wedges so my kids can pick them out). Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4 hours. Serve over rice.

[@TheHelgaAnna]

Love your sweet family! Hope you are not suffering with the extreme cold that is affecting so much of the southern States! Stay safe and warm!

I need to stop watching these videos when I’m really hungry! Yummy 😋

[@MandyintheMaking]

LOL!!

[@cherylbailey5652]

Your biscuits turned out perfect so many people can't make them so they split easily without a knife

[@slancaster56]

I am going to make all three. I softened the peppers a bit too much, but it will still be good.(No texture-LOL) I made your rice with brown rice and my husband ate the whole pot except a half of cup. When I cook a meal my grandchildren say, "is that Mandy?" You are wonderful.

[@kristenj9207]

You are such a doll! And your family is awesome. You are rolling up there in subbies!! Keep up the great work and continuing to let your light shine.

The snort laugh 😂

[@MandyintheMaking]

True Mandy, right there. LOL

[@stephaniewhitaker5253]

One of my favourite things

[@goerdtjt]

The weight watcher community makes a 2 ingredient dough as well for same type of biscuits except they use yogurt instead. It kinda gives off the vibe of sourdough bread biscuits. So if you decided to try a lighter version you could always try the yogurt. 😊

[@pamelachamberlin8405]

That biscuits and gravy casserole is in my oven right now. Oh my...that looked so good. All your meals did! The taco stuffed shells in particular caught my husband's eye. We've been watching you for a while. I have made several of your meals, and appetizers. My husband thinks it would be perfect if I just got up in the morning, checked out on of your videos, and made a recipe every night. A fan indeed!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

You're gonna love it so much!!!

[@gmad5952]

Those biscuits look heavenly!

[@deborahmorris3688]

Those biscuits rose nice and high! My trick to make mine rise high is to put them on the baking sheet with sides touching. It really works!

[@bindismom9468]

This looks awesome Mandy! I think adding in some potatoes O'Brian would be good inside this dish or even as a side dish❤ This comment is for the Biscuits and gravy casserole. October 3, 2023... I made this dish, with a few additions, I added half a bag of potatoes O'Brian and a can of green chilies. It turned out great! Thanks again Mandy

[@TruthSeekerNC]

The recipes look delicious but you guys repor is what I love the most! 😂

[@jamiblumhorst3724]

I’m a “behind the scenes” faithful watcher of all your videos and I have to say that you are awesome and so selfless. Always letting hubby and Cole dig in before you get to taste your own cooking. I wish I was that nice and patient 😂

[@MandyintheMaking]

It ain't easy sometimes. LOL I'm like, yeah that's great - I'm hungry. LOL But thank you for watching and for your sweet comment!

Laura and Mandy. I made your Subbie Supper tonight for dinner for the first time. It's Delicious and I've been told it's a Keeper. Thanks for Submitting your recipe Laura and thank you Mandt for choosing this to make.

[@patsyhelms1102]

Hi Mandy For a taller and fluffier biscuit place them close together on the baking sheet. When baked brush the tops with butter.

[@brenda1429]

A switch up on the Subbie supper. I do this same recipe but use a bag of frozen meatball instead of the chicken. I leave the meatballs frozen and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Generally serve it over rice.

[@jacquelineross7231]

The taco peppers were great. We loved them. I tried Butcher Box. I thought they were pricey but quality. Then I found out the meat is not all US meats. So we decided to locally source all of our meats. All our beef, chicken and pork is from Kansas farmers. Thanks for the recipes. I loved the bacon ranch chicken sandwich too

[@cindistrozier6149]

Love your videos and channel! Am I the only one afraid of opening biscuits?? Lol

[@MandyintheMaking]

Nope, I used to make Steven open them every single time. I've gotten better, but that one opened itself and scared me to death! LOL

Your husband seems to really appreciate your cooking!

[@MeganMJ89]

Cannot wait to try all 3 of these!!! Especially those taco stuffed green peppers!! Yummy!!!

Hope you enjoy!

Mushrooms would be a great addition to that Biscuits and gravy recipe. Brown them with the sausage and give it extra flavor.

We always use the Pioneer gravy mix because I can't make gravy. It all looks good. Yum!

[@karendixon7123]

I made the taco stuffed peppers, Mexican rice and fiesta lime sauce tonight. Can’t wait to eat. It was super easy and I had everything on hand.

My husband did children's church, too! I love seeing men in children's ministry. Those boys need good mentors. He teaches middle schoolers now (good luck with that)! :) I don't know how your hubby doesn't weigh 300 pounds with all of that good cooking! Thanks for sharing some great recipes.

[@donnagribbins1763]

I make my pot roast the same way in the crockpot. I only omit the spinach. I add a chuck roast, the same seasonings, the 2 cans of cream of mushroom and the 1 can of French onion soup along with some carrots. I cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 4 to 6. I always serve my pot roast with mashed potatoes because that's what we prefer but you could add in some potatoes into the crock and have a full meal. The soups with the meat juices make a perfectly delicious gravy. Mark likes me to make a pot roast so that the 2nd day I can turn it into vegetable beef soup. I use the leftover beef and gravy. I add a diced onion, a couple ribs of celery, a couple of diced potatoes, a can of diced tomatoes, a bag of mixed vegetables and either some water or beef broth. I usually add between 3 and 4 cups. With that gravy it turns into delicious soup. We often have enough soup for dinner and then lunch the 3rd day. So 3 meals from 1 pot roast. You will have to try this too.

[@virginiasimer4171]

Did you know when you cut out biscuits if you jiggle the cutter instead of just pushing it down then up that motion will seal the edges preventing them from rising their highest? I didn’t know either until I watched a chef one day. Hugs

[@valerieh8526]

I like to roast the peppers in the oven while prepping the filling. We like to use poblano peppers, too! Instead of halving the poblanos, I cut just a third of the pepper off so there's lots of pepper to stuff. 😊

[@jshealey9084]

little Gracie is so cute!

[@sweettjenn5256]

Oh my! Those peppers look great!! 🤤

[@debbief2882]

Mandy, that breakfast casserole has become a weekend staple here. I changed the shredded cheese for some cubed Velveeta and only use 4 eggs. I make my own gravy. But YUM. Thank You!

[@alyndoyle5378]

Another great stuffed pepper recipes. My guys won't eat green peppers but will eat red and orange. I have my own invented recipe but this also looks delish.

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

The stuff pepper meat would be good mix with pasta as a taco pasta. Then topped with cheese .

[@vickiepatterson1748]

I recently watched another KZbinr who had received the Butcher Box meat and it also looked incredible. Sounds like a wonderful option, especially these days, to have such a good quality meats delivered to your home. The stuffed peppers looked great. I have never precooked the peppers before but what a great idea. The only stuffed peppers I've made before had ground meat and rice in the stuffing. Your recipe looked very tasty 😋 and a nice change from the old recipe. Everything's better with cheese! Denny's used to have your breakfast casserole on their menu. Not in a casserole but the stack of biscuits, sausage, eggs, cheese and gravy. Not sure if they still have it on the menu but your version looks amazing. I love the Pioneer gravy mix. I've used the country gravy for years, always a good staple. The crazy crock pot chicken looked like the perfect dinner for a cold rainey night. That little can of cream of mushroom soup adds such a rich element to any dish. I've also seen the two ingredient biscuits made before. One KZbinr made them at the beginning of the pandemic, saying it was easier to find cream in the store than milk. And the biscuits are always perfect. Very nice recipes, thanks for sharing!

[@bindismom9468]

October 3, 2023 Hey Mandy, This was a great recipe but it needed something. Try roasting your peppers under broiler or on the grill instead of softening in microwave, it adds a ton of flavor to an otherwise bland pepper. Also my husband does not care for green bell peppers so I used red, yellow and orange peppers ❤

[@jessicaseipp859]

Those taco stuffed peppers look amazing!! I can’t wait to make and try them!

Nitrate free meats...so important and an easy step to take for our families. Everything looked delicious!

[@patriciahardin6164]

I love your snort laughs! 😂

[@lisagrafton2529]

I make something similar, but with 2 cans cream of mushroom soup and 1-8oz cont. sour cream. Mix in more soup and sour cream for more chicken breast, because it's delicious as leftovers. The "gravy/sauce"( the soup and sour cream) is delicious over mashed potatoes. I always serve this with apple sauce. It couldn't be easier!

[@kathybullock4834]

Hey Mandy. I may have told you this , but telling you again. I've made the Biscuits and Gravy Casserole 2-3 times. It's always a Hit. I make it for dinner. One of the times I made it I used the Aldi brand of Biscuits. Everyone ask me if I used different ones. I said the Aldi brand. Just thought I'd pass along that the family likes them Best over Pillsbury or other store brands . Just thought I 'd pass that along because I know you shop at Aldis . Fixed it again tonight and it's gone!!❤

[@lindachavezw...246]

Oh Mandy, this looks delicious, girl!!

[@sandrahughes2702]

I do the taco peppers all the time. I use ground beef, taco seasoning, a can of Rotell and lately some retried beans and of course cheese for the stuffing. Other than that same way you do it with Mexican rice and sour cream with it.
