I made a WHOLE lot of turkey chili on New Years Day for a few hangovers and then had leftovers. What to do with it? I had Crema Mexicana (below) and some Cotija and Cheddar cheeses so I experimented.
I poured some of the Crema Mexicana (about a cup) into a sauce pan and warmed in up over a low heat. I added some shredded Cotija (about 3/4 Cup) and some shredded Cheddar (about 1/2 Cup, maybe more) and stirred it until the cheese melted.
Rachel walked in, saw some chips and tasted it, then just wanted a spoon! That was BEFORE I mixed in some leftover Chili (about 1 1/2 Cups).
Serve it warm with tortilla chips
OR
Mix in some Macaroni or other pasta to stretch it even farther to serve as a meal
OR
Pour this mess into a dish, top it with some more cheese and top that with pie crust, and bake it for about 30 minutes for some Mac and Cheese Chili Pie!
OK, I had a little extra time and put initials for each person with the extra pie crust…just for fun.
