Beer Braised Pork Bratwurst
This is a delicious dish that comes together well. The only thing that would make this better is to change the container it comes it from two compartments to one

Caramelized Mushroom Quesadilla
Very good, but can't be cooked in it's container, it needs to be on a baking sheet to get crispy — the instructions should reflect that
