Hot Yellow Pepper Sauce

Best sauce in the world.  Perfect on enchiladas and chimichangas.  Oh how I love the hot yellow pepper sauce.  This is spicy spicy, and is spicier when it is first made.  If you don’t want it so spicy, make it a couple of days ahead of time.

4-5 hot yellow peppers sliced
4 fresh jalapenos
1 heaping tsp [...]

Tomatillo Sauce

This sauce is a great substitute for your regular enchilada sauce.  Especially good on chicken enchiladas.  This is a restaurant recipe, so you might want to cut it down a bit, I usually make the whole amount and freeze the rest.  This freezes really well.

 4-5 lbs. peeled whole tomatillos
1 large onion
2 heaping Tbs. minced garlic

Reuben Dip

1 can sauerkraut, drained
3/4 lb. corned beef–i make my own with my husband’s super yummy recipe, but you can go to the deli and buy some thick cut corned beef, it is just as tasty, it doesn’t take four hours, and you won’t have four pounds left over.

Aunt Cindy’s con Queso

Prepare yourself for this incredibly complicated recipe.  I swear I was not raised in a trailer park.  I was raised NEXT TO a trailer park.

1 can Hormel chili (no beans)
1 can cheddar cheese soup or nacho cheddar soup

heat and serve warm.

That’s as ethnic as it gets in the old Simpson family.  Deal with it.
