My husband and I were on a diet once. We had this recipe that called for bouillon but it seemed so salty to us. So what I did was use chicken broth and I would add to that whatever spices I wanted--can't remember which spices I added. That gave it some flavor. I'd stir the spices and broth t

Hi, I've been reading the thread on bouillon in the slow cooker chicken pot pie stew. As one who has also wanted lower salt substitutes for bouillon, whether chicken or beef, I found the following on tasteofhome.com (below my name). Some of you may find it useful. Jeanne There are a few lo

The big problem with broth in this recipe is the fluid level. To get it to work you'd want to simmer it down to far less liquid, otherwise the result would be a lot more soupy. You could work with it by replacing the bullion with broth and the canned soup with soup mix powder, but it might requi

What about some of the Mrs. Dash seasonings? They have quite a variety and you can probably get no salt or low sodium in the Mrs Dash brand. I have what I call a beef bean chilli recipe and I used to use a packet of tacco seasoning in it. I need to watch my sodium, so even though I had been gett

If you are making mac and cheese from real ingredients such as milk, butter etc. you can always add spices such as black pepper, red pepper flakes or more herbs such as basil to give it a more italian flavor. You can do this even with the stuff from the box. You can add mushrooms, dried or saut

Mac & Chees is very good with some Broccoli floretts mixed in or a few chunks of ham or ham steak. Spam is a very fatty meat and not so healthy. I think Ham would be a better choice (IMO). Eileen From: Jamie Prater via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 1:19 PM To: cookinginthedar

Ever heard of fried onions? Those ought to go nicely mixed into macaroni after cheese is mixed in. Curry powder isn't bad either if your tastes go that way. On Fri, 18 Aug 2017, Jamie Prater via Cookinginthedark wrote: Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2017 13:19:25 From: Jamie Prater via Cookinginthedark

Two thinly cut pieces, cubed, isn't going to hurt you. Fry the two pieces of spam, then cube them and mix them in with your Mac 'N Cheese. Spam can also go with rice, in sandwiches, or as a garnish for Ramen. Again, no more than two pieces at a stretch. If you're doing the rice thing, you can fr
