Side Dishes

Raspberry Chipotle Corn Bread

For a really unique corn bread mix a Krusteaz Cornbread mix, but substitute ½ cup of the liquid with ½ cup Raspberry Chipotle Sauce.  That’s all there is to it.  For those of us who love Chipotle Sauce, we substitute the whole cup of milk with 1 cup of our Chipotle Sauce.  You’ll love this one!  

Main Dishes

Easy Chicken Pasta

8 oz. canned chicken
8 oz. Pasta (dry)
8 oz. Chipotle Sauce
12 oz Sour Cream

While pasta is cooking, combine chicken chunks with Chipotle Sauce (any flavor) and sour cream in a sauce pan. Heat slowly until it starts to boil, then reduce heat to simmer and stir occasionally. Drain cooked pasta and place in serving bowl.  Top with sauce and garnish with parsley and/or red bell pepper slivers.

Healthy hint: A delicious substitute is fat free sour cream and whole wheat pasta.  Several great sour cream substitutes are available for those with allergies to dairy products.  Left over chicken or turkey may be substituted for the canned chicken.  ENJOY!!!

Grandpa’s Roast Beef with Fixins

Grandpa likes to take a frozen beef roast and plop it into the crock pot along with a large sweet potato or yam, sprinkle with a little salt, dump a jar of “Medium” or “Hot” Chipotle Sauce, quarter a small head of cabbage and some whole carrots to place around the edges before he and Grandma leave the house for the day.  When they come home they needn’t argue about who will prepare supper. Just plop it on a platter and put some of the liquids in a gravy boat, either straight or thickened. (Grandpa says it is a good way to keep the ripples out of the marriage relationship)

Lee’s Favorite Recipe for Pinto Beans

2 Cups  Dry Pinto Beans
2  Smoked Ham Hocks
1 teaspoon Salt
16 oz. (2 jars) Chipotle Sauce (He likes the hot one)

Sort through the beans to remove any rocks or bad beans.  Wash the beans and put them in the crock pot along with the ham hocks and cover with plenty of water.  Set the crock pot on high and go away for four or five hours (or until beans start to soften).  Add the salt and Chipotle Sauce, turn the crock pot to low, and go away for another two to four hours. (Be sure there is enough water so the beans don’t dry out.)

Serve with your favorite salad, and cornbread or tortillas.  He says they always come back for seconds on this one!

P.S.  Take the leftover beans, remove any ham bones, and add canned tomatoes and some brown sugar or molasses and bake them in a casserole dish for two or three hours (until the juice thickens).  If there is enough ham left in the beans, all you need to add is a salad and some fresh bread or cornbread for another delicious meal.

Holiday Ideas

• Add your favorite Chipotle Sauce to your recipe for sweet potatoes or yams.  
  

• Add Chipotle Sauce, grated cheddar, and/or garlic to mashed potatoes.
  

• For a great cheese ball add 1/3 cup chopped chives to the above mixture and press into a bowl lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.  Invert the mixture on a serving dish, remove the plastic, press chopped or sliced nuts into the surface and garnish.  Makes a beautiful cheese ball that tastes as good as it looks.
  

• Add a tablespoon or two of Chipotle Sauce to a bowl of turkey soup and enjoy.
  

• Chipotle Sauce adds a unique flavor to stuffing.  (We like to use the pineapple flavor for stuffing.)

Chipotle Sauce is great as a dipping sauce for meat, potatoes, eggs and even potato chips.  It’s also wonderful with any kind of beans.  Try it on sandwiches, pizza, and burritos too! Try each of the seven flavors of the Chipotle Sauce.  They are definitely interchangeable!
