Fantastic! This recipe should be on every can of sliced beets that leaves the factories!!! Didn't have plain so I used seasoned crumbs and though we tried sprinkling with the lemon juice both hubby and myself preferred it without. Either way this is a blue-ribbon winner in my book. Made for Aussie RS#30 -
I tried this just as an experiment, because I had extra beets and was out of ideas. My wife absolutely loves this recipe, and has insisted I make it again. Simple but super tasty!

I am pleasantly surprised by this dish. I decreased the beet in in proportion to the other ingredients, due to past experiences. My other experiences with beets came from relatives, who served them plain and usually overcooked. -
Very unusual way to prepare beets. *Fresh* golden beets subbed for red and I made<br/>a small batch. The beets were partially roasted, cooled, sliced then followed the recipe as indicated. I don't know if I would like the recipe as well using canned beets although CG does have a secret love for canned beets. Thanks for posting. I probably would never have tried this recipe if it hadn't been for the Best of 2011 tag game. -
I agree with Julie B's Hive that this recipe should be available on the label of canned beets. Deliciously different! I still need to work on my presentation; however, I'm getting there! Thanks, Sydney Mike! Made for PRMR tag game.
