I have never been a real fan of sour cream…. if a recipe calls for the ingredient then sure but on its own with other things never really was a fan.

So I started wondering what can you do with a container of sour cream that is in your refrigerator?  

According to our friends over at The Kitchn, they had a few ideas…

1.)  Try using the left over in a casserole recipe:  like green bean casserole, hash brown casserole, sour cream chicken enchilada casserole, even in a baked macaroni and cheese.

2.)  As a dessert topping:  the sour taste will be a contrasting to nice bowl of blueberries, raspberries, or any other berries.  Try adding some brown sugar to the sourcream.

3.)  In a Sauce:  adding sour cream can not only add flavor to a sauce but can also add thickness to it.

4.)  In a baking recipe:  I know a few off hand baking recipes that sour cream can be added to… like chocolate cake,  cranberry-sour cream pound cake, 

5.)  In a dip:  Who doesn’t love adding sour cream and a few other great ingredients and dipping some tasty crunchy chips in it.

Do you have any other uses for sour cream… please list them below!
