Wednesday's Menu

The weather has been nice and cool in the evenings and hopefully you have had the chance to enjoy some yummy chili. What do you do with all of the leftovers? You can freeze them and save them for later or you can try one of the quick recipes below...

Chili Pie- Pour 4 cups extra chili in a deep pie or casserole dish. (Add one can corn or other mixed vegetables if you have a little less than 4 cups.) Prepare 1 recipe cornbread according to directions. Drip batter over chili. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until the cornbread is done. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese if desired.


Chili Dip- Make a delicious dip out of leftover chili by spreading a package of softened cream cheese in the bottom of a deep pie plate. Top with 2 cups of leftover chili and 1 cup of salsa. Sprinkle two cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake in a 350 degree over for 30 minutes. Serve with crisp tortilla chips for dipping.
