Weekend Supper Club, Round 2, Week 1; Liz Moreland
"Arizona Should Have Made It To The Tournament Hot Artichoke Dip"

Due to the NCAA Playoffs this upcoming weekend, Liz submitted a great appetizer/dip perfect for a party! We do have some KY fans at our house however!

Ingredients:

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 can drained artichoke hearts
Paprika

Directions/Comments:

This is such a yummy and easy dip to throw together. I wouldn't use anything but mayo with this dish, Miracle Whip just won't do.

It's my "go to" for potlucks and gathering with friends. My Mom has been making this one for cocktail parties for over 25 years!

Set oven to 350. In a bowl mix the cheese and mayo together and set aside. Chop the artichoke hearts, pour the hearts in the bowl with the mayo and cheese, Mix. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish (I use a ceramic tortilla holder because it has a lid and is easy to transport). Sprinkle on the paprika, Bake about 15-20 mins until bubbly. I usually serve it with crackers.

Weekend Supper Club Week 4; White/Phat Chick Enchiladas via Jaimie Petty

This is a very easy dish to make on days when you don't want to step on the scale!

Ingredients:
1 whole fryer chicken
12 flour tortillas-Fajita size
2 cans of cream of mushroom, or chicken soup
4 oz of cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup of sour cream
1.5 cups of Monterey Jack cheese
Salt, pepper and chili powder to taste

Directions:
Cook the whole fryer chicken in the crock pot for 6 hrs or the usual time you would cook a chicken, season lightly with salt, pepper and chili powder.
After chicken is fully cooked, take chicken out of crock pot and place in a bowl to let it cool.
Shred the chicken off the bone and place in a bowl. (This will totally burn your fingers BTW) but it's OK because we all know we've done it before.
Mix the cream cheese and half a cup of Monterey Jack cheese in with the shredded chicken.
In another bowl mix the two cans of soup and the sour cream.
In the bottom of a 8 x 11 casserole dish add a generous layer of the soup mixture
Fill the tortillas with however much chicken mixture you desire. I make them fat because....Hello! they are Phat girl enchiladas!!! Roll them up and throw them in the dish.  They don't have to be as tightly squeezed together like the non-white girl version because the THICK sauce needs to seep in, but you do want to try and fit 12 in a dish. Add the remaiunder of the soup mixture to the enhciladas and bake for 20 minutes
Finally add a cup of cheese to the top and bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
I hope you enjoy them as much as my boys do.
