Party Fare for the Big Game
With these two recipes from American Profile readers, you’ll have plenty of hearty, delicious food to serve your guests.
Karen E. Nelson of Brookings, Ore., sent in her recipe for Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. “This is my ‘signature’ dish. Everybody loves it. I always make it ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator, then bake it just before everyone arrives,” she explains.
The Sombrero Dip, from Mary Louise Jonas, uses ground turkey or beef with canned refried beans and Cheddar cheese and is perfect to serve with tortilla chips or flour tortillas. “This recipe came from my eighth-grade language arts teacher, who also taught my son and daughter. It’s now a family tradition,” says the resident of Karnes City, Texas.
