Recipe Exchange

Last night was our monthly recipe exchange for Enrichment. We all make what we want to share and bring enough copies of the recipes for everyone to take home. And once again, I came home with some new yummy recipes. One of my favorites was brought by Catherine. It was her version of TGI Fridays Mac and Cheese and it was oh so good. It has a little bit of heat to it because of the green chiles and hot sauce. Here is the recipe:


Mac and Cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
16 oz sour cream
1 can diced green chiles
11 oz elbow macaroni-medium
6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
sriracha hot sauce to taste
1 sleeve Ritz crackers-crushed
3 tbs. butter

Cook macaroni according to the directions on the package. While cooking, mix sour cream and chicken soup with a whisk. Then add green chiles, mixing well. After draining macaroni, mix with the prepared soup mixture. Blend well, add Sriracha sauce to taste. Place in a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle top with cheddar cheese. MIs the crushed Ritz crackers with the melted butter and cover. Cook at 425 for 25 minutes or until top is brown and crisp.


I got this one from Becky. I feel lucky to always get great recipes from Becky. She teaches foods at Lone Peak High and has many great recipes that she is always sharing. This one is called Mashed Potato Layer Bake. It is layered white potatoes and sweet potatoes. So yummy!
Mashed Potato Layer Bake
4 large white potatoes, peeled, chopped and cooked
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled, chopped and cooked
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1/4 c shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Mash white potatoes with 4 oz cream cheese and 1/4 sour cream. Mash the sweet potatoes with 4 oz cream cheese and 1/4 sour cream. Season both with salt and pepper. Add half the parmesan cheese to the white potatoes and half the cheddar cheese to the sweet potatoes. Layer half of each in a 2 quart clear casserole dish. (Sprayed with Pam) Repeat layers. Bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake 5 minutes more.

That potato one sounds soo good. But I'm sure it must have a million calories. I'll have to try that one someone day when I'm not thinking about loosing weight. When will that be?
