Foolproof Supper for Fall
One of my favorite things to cook as the weather turns cooler is Chili Cheese Supper Dish. Relatively inexpensive, this has to be one of the most foolproof recipes to make, and it has a very satisfying taste and texture. Other than grating the cheese, the rest is simple measuring, mixing and baking. This is ideal for beginners.
Serve it with warm tortillas and a simple green salad. Make a salad dressing of three parts olive oil mixed with one part white balsamic vinegar and add a pinch of salt. Do give this dressing a try; it’s a winner.
