I like to use a meatball or meatloaf mix-equal parts veal, pork, and beef. I don't think that any of the measurements change if you use different meats. Enjoy!

Weekend Cook and Tell: Too Hot
@dbcurrie: Kudos for not letting the heat put you off baking!
@ElizabethS: I guess the only rule is not to break a sweat while preparing your meal. Minimal stovetop cooking is okay, just don't turn on the oven and heat up the entire kitchen and yourself in the process!

Cook the Book: Chunky Potatoes with Golden Raisins
Good question, I actually used an immersion blender for this recipe. I've always found that plastic blenders tend to hold on to strong smells while glass blenders stay pretty much odor-free. Hope this helps!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I did it. It was AWESOME! A little more like an hour, but I'm slow. My wife, not really a fan of cake, loves it as well. Make sure you eat it when the icing is warm/room temp. I must admit, having a total of nearly a pound of butter and as much sugar as this recipe has certainly helps! ;)nom nom nom!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I haven't made this recipe, but I've used some of Pioneer Womans other recipes and I have always enjoyed them. Yes, sometimes too much butter or too much sugar, but that's the joy of dessert!
Cook the Book: Steak with Anchovy Butter
I keep and use anchovy paste from Amore (in the toothpaste-style tube) in my fridge all the time. How much of that do you think I'd need - 1/8 tsp? 1/4 tsp?
Cook the Book: Steak with Anchovy Butter
I've been meaning to conquer my fear of anchovies , and this sounds like a great place to start. Also, thanks so much for the advice for meat cooking times! I'm always nervous about that too!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I made this over the weekend and it didn't come out very cakey. Wondering if high altitude would affect the outcome? The flavor was amazing, but the sugar content was rather extreme for this girl. I'm looking forward to adjusting this to suit my taste buds. Loved how quick and easy the recipe is.

@LizLemon -- here's some White Texas Sheet Cake recipes:

(scroll down for the White Texas Sheet Cake recipe. This recipe comes from someone in Pioneer Woman's hometown.

(this one is supposedly from Paula Deen)
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Yumm... this cake looks delicious ... and I'd love to win a copy of Pioneer Woman Cooks!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
This is a staple for birthdays in my house, but it has a healthy dose of cinnamon in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. Easy and moist and delicious.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Ours always has cinnamon!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
@sscutchen. My head hurts. Thanks for the explanation.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
This kind of baking sounds right up my alley! I think it's going on the weekend menu!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
A jelly roll pan is nominally 15x10, so 150 sq. in. so you're looking for 75 sq. in.
An 8x11 is 88 sq. in, which is closer than the 9x13 at 117.
Not sure what the effect of Pyrex versus metal will be.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Water is there. You can get the recipe from Pioneer Woman's website too. I love her. I think she's fab.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I checked a handful of other Texas Sheet Cake recipes around the net and they all had the missing 1 cup water.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Can someone please confirm what size of pan is best for a half recipe? I have a 9 x 13 and an 8 x11 Pyrex.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I'm pretty sure you are missing a cup of water from the cake recipe.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I didn't know this was the secret of Texas sheet cake, or what made it so special!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I made two of these cakes for a camping trip last year and underbaked the cakes just a bit so that when I warmed them up to frost them, they didn't over cook. We were in the Rocky Mountains, so I didn't want to mess with high-altitude baking. The cakes came out great and everyone finished off both pans. Thinking I may need to make this again soon!
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Okay, I just made this in a smaller Pyrex pan and I should have used my normal size one, the 9 x 13. It's still really good, though.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Having made this cake several times (from PW's recipe) I can assure you all that it is as easy as it sounds, turns out flawless every time and is always scarfed up quickly and with great yummy noises.
Two thumbs enthusiastically up.
And great, now I feel like I need to bake this tonight.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
Texas sheet cake is an old tradition in my family, and this looks like a delicious rendition. I've been wondering though, does anyone out there have a recipe for a white Texas sheet cake (I think white cake and white icing)? My aunt mentioned it to me the other day, but I'm not sure she has the recipe herself. If anyone has any insights on that I would appreciate it. Obviously I know there are many recipes out there for white cake and for white frosting, but I'm looking specifically for a white version of Texas sheet cake.
Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake
I halved this recipe and made it in a smaller ish pan (I don't know the measurements, but it was smaller than a normal Pyrex. Ya, real helpful, I know). It was amazing. I think I might just have to make it right now. Dang, I just cleaned the kitchen.
