throw on a layer of diced pork (sauted) or chicken or ground beef.
then some grated cheese (pepper jack or a mix of colby/jack chedder whatever)
some salsa or enchilada sauce
repeat until pan is almost full.
then top (or serve with )
shredded lettuce
sour cream
diced jalepenos]
green chiles
black olive

i forgot the avocado's !
after you bake the whole "enchilada" ....(350 for about 35-40 minutes)
this should be topped with guacamole or sliced avocado,also have lots of diced tomato ready !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and remember to layer everything including the tortillas shmeared with beans .
obviously you have your favorite recipe's for mexican style food so use whatever you like but it makes for a big,easy to fix batch of grubbins

I'm big with making different dips and then having a bunch of different kind of chips around.

One of my family's favs is really easy. soften a box of cream cheese on a plate in the nuker, then smear around evenly on said plate. Dump on a can of chili- which ever you like best- and smear around too. Top with lots of cheese, then nuke. Great dip!

I have a great apple dip recipe too.
2 boxes cream cheese- softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

stir together until smooth, and dip with granny smith apple slices.

A good desert:


CHERRY DUMP CAKE
Dump 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in 9x13 inch pan (juice and all). Dump a can of cherry pie filling on top of pineapple. Spread one package either yellow or white cake mix (dry) over the above ingredients but do not mix. Dot pieces of butter (1 stick) over the cake mix. 1/2 cup chopped nuts may be added not or after baking (optional).
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until brown and the cake mix is absorbed in the fruit. Let cool and serve with either whipped cream or ice cream. Other fruit combinations could be used.

Oh yum. I officially love this thread.

For tomorrow, Tortilla Soup has been decided on and the gumbo has been chosen for next week. I may make Broncos Balls too.

And maybe that dessert too! That sounds good and easy. I'm all about easy when game time is 11 am.

Im an appetizer fan for stuff during games. Nothing too filling. Just good munchers and go back for more when needed.

My fav dip that was previously undefeated until the indy game and philly game last year. Ingredients sound gross but it rocks your face off. Everyone likes it!

1 can pimento cheese
1can cream mushroom soup
1 can diced green chilis
1 tomatillo
1-finely minced jalapeno

put all ingredients into a pan and heat that bastage up. mmmm


Then I like Turds- yeah thats what they are called.


genoea salami, ham, and whatever thin meat you like. Roast beef does not work as well, same with turkey.

mix cream cheese and green onions. put a spoonful in middle of meat, roll it up like a burrito, fold the ends in and then put a dab of the cheese on the lip to seal it...kinda like a hand rolled J. But they are good and quick and easy. and you eat them not smoke em.



Then finally some meatballs in teriyaki - everyone does bbbq, italian, etc...But the teriyaki meatballs are off the effin chain girl. If you dont know how to make hit me up, but most people do. I dig all those with some homemade salsa or just reg salsa. Pizza is sick and wings too, but if its just me I get lazy.



oh yeah and I totally forgot, bacon wrapped jalapenos or greenchilis...which ever pepper you use, cut the lid off, stuff them bastages full of cheese and any spice you like, maybe a few mini minced onions, wrap them up in their bacon sheild, bake and cream your pants.

I do the something similar, though I call it enchilada pie. Damn good stuff.
Chicken
green chile
tortilla
sharp cheese

layer after layer like lasagna.
I just tried something different on it the last time I made it. I like to get a bit creative when I throw stuff together so I added some fresh cilantro to the layers and OMG good freaking stuff!!!

My kids love the jello infused cake.

Take the normal cake mix, whatever flavor and cook normally. Get the same flavor jello. Mix the jello and water. After the cake has cooled, poke holes throughout the cake. Then pour the jello water over the top. Frost the cake and place fresh fruit all over the top.

Strawberry is the best.

I'm making Menudo tomorrow.

Beer.

Ribs. All you need.

Im smoking a Brisket right now. This thread has made me so hungry. I really wanna try TKO's thing and Carol's desert.

my wife does not like cilantro,so the only way i get away with using it is if i add it to the pork or chicken while i brown it...then she does'nt notice it !
and why the hell did i wake up at 5:45 this morning ? it's freakin' sunday.
opening day jitters ?
i was glad the game was an early one so i would'nt have to wait so long ,then i get up 3 hrs early anyway to start cookin'
