very tasty sauce, will definately make this again! my sour cream separated also, but did what carrolJ suggested and added some milk and it turned out much nicer. We used sharp cheddar cheese and it was a wonderful mexican meal night. Made for Fall PAC09 thank you! -
These were very good. I especially loved the taste of the filling. I would have liked a creamer sauce around them...I covered each well with sour cream as instructed...but it curdled while baking. It didn't affect the taste of course. I think next time I will mix a little milk with the sour cream I use for topping so that it is a little thinner topping. I covered it well with one of those 'fiesta' shredded cheese and served it with salsa. I will be making this again. Easy and good. Made for PAC Fall 2009. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=310505&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Christian, wife (as of 3/15/08), student, ABA therapist to some amazing little men with Autism, friend, first time homebuyer, and aspiring cook. I spend my time trying to honor the Lord, loving my wonderful husband, working with and thinking about children with Autism, avoiding homework and housework, researching home decor'/ cleaning supplies, and every so often trying out a new recipe on unsuspecting friends and family.
My household consists of myself, my husband, a docile daschund named Buddy, and a hyperactive chiweenie named Samson. We are in the process of buying and fixing up our first home, and along with that- my very first kitchen!
My maiden name is Cook, and I feel a certain longing to live up to the title. My mother was a completley self-taught southern cook, and I learned most of what I know from hanging on her apron strings in the kitchen. I took a home ec cooking coarse in high school, which was taught by the traditional I'm-not-married-but when-I-do-get-married-it-will-be-my-whole-life-cooking-and-cleaning teacher. She regarded Betty Crocker's cookbook as a second to the Bible, and made sure we students did too. After that class my cooking passion went on hold until I got married and finished undergrad. Now, with a husband to feed, and in-laws to impress, I find myself watching food network, buying specialty kitchen tools, and searching websites for that perfect recipe, and that is how I found Recipezaar.
