I have lived in the United States now for a long time, and as a result, my cooking style has evolved quite a bit. Although I will always love Mexican cuisine and that is my specialty, I have also grown to enjoy making recipes that my husband and his family have taught me to make.

One of those recipes is a tasty food that my family calls “yummy potatoes,” but that is more commonly known as “funeral potatoes,” or even “party potatoes.” I have to admit that the first time I saw this, I wasn’t so sure about it, especially because of the name. However, after trying it, I fell in love with this classic side dish.

What are funeral potatoes?

Funeral potatoes is a basically a cheesy potato casserole consisting of diced potatoes, sour cream, melted butter, topped with a crispy topping. The topping varies depending on the recipe that you find. Some people use potato chips, others use breadcrumbs, and the other common topping is crispy corn flakes. It is then baked to golden brown perfection and served as a perfect side dish.

Why are they called funeral potatoes?

This recipe is known as funeral potatoes because it is easy to make and great for serving a large crowd, which often is the case at after-funeral luncheons. With that said, this recipe is not limited to being made at funerals – now you will find it at many other large gatherings, such as holiday dinners, family gatherings, and other special occasions.

How do you make the best funeral potatoes recipe?

Funeral potatoes, which is the ultimate comfort food, is such an easy recipe to make. That is one reason why it is so popular at many special events. To make it, you will start by gathering the following ingredients list:

• Potatoes
• Crushed Corn Flakes
• Can of Cream of chicken soup
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Sour Cream
• Unsalted butter
• Onion powder
• Black peper
• Salt

The base of the recipe is made by cutting the potatoes into small cubes and boiling them until they are softened slightly. You don’t want them to be super soft like when you make mashed potatoes, or they will get too mushy when you bake them. You can use store bought frozen hashbrown or even shredded hashbrowns if you prefer, and in that case, you will skip this first step.

Next, you will add the rest of the ingredients (keeping the potatoes, corn flakes and 1/2 stick of butter aside for now) to a large bowl and mix them until everything is combined and creamy. Then, add the potatoes and mix well before adding the complete mixture to a 9×12 baking dish.

One of the best known characteristics of this delicious recipe is the crunchy, buttery topping. This is made by crushing the corn flakes, and adding some melted butter to it, and then using it to top the potato mixture in the dish before baking for 40-50 minutes.

When it is done baking, it will be very hot and bubbly so you will want to wait a few minutes before serving it as a great side dish or even as a main dish.

What are some different ways to make these cheesy potatoes?

There are some fun ways that you can modify this recipe to mix it up a bit. Some of my favorite variations are the following:

• Add bacon bits to the mixture
• Use breadcrumbs or potato chips for the crunchy topping
• Add a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup instead of chicken.
• Add green onions
• Add cream cheese for a more creamy flavor

You can really use your imagination to make this recipe your own. I would love to hear from you in the comments below. Let me know how it turned out for you and if you have any other ways to make it!

Macaroni and cheese is a classic recipe that people of all ages love. Of course, many people think of the box mix, but I prefer to make it myself from scratch. Doing that allows you to get a smooth sauce and to use different types of cheeses depending on what you are feeling like in the moment.

I have to admit that in Mexico, macaroni and cheese isn’t really something that you find very often, but here in the United States there are so many varieties and it is a perfect side dish to take to family events and other activities. You can even serve it as a main dish and I doubt anyone would complain!

Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food and there are so many great recipes for it. I hope that next time you are craving mac and cheese, you give this recipe a shot and that it becomes one of your favorites!

What kind of cheese should you use to make macaroni and cheese?

This recipe will make enough to serve the whole family and uses a combination of mild cheddar cheese, manchego cheese, and American cheese. Of course, if you don’t have any of those on hand, you can replace them with a different cheeses, like colby jack, sharp cheddar cheese or more. If you want a white sauce, you can use parmesan cheeses and sharp white cheddar or another type of white cheese that melts well.

Regardless of the specific type of cheese you use, if you want to have a creamy cheese sauce, you will need to use one that melts easily.

How do you make macaroni and cheese?

Macaroni and cheese is easy to make. Of course, you can just boil the noodles and add the cheese suace, but I like to add some extra flavor to the noodles first. To do so, I start with the following ingredients:

• 1 large bag of elbox macaroni
• 1/4 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• Salt to taste

Prepare the elbow macaroni by adding it to a large pot with water and the rest of the above ingredients. Bring it to a boil and let it cook until they are al dente. After that, you will strain the water and set it aside while you make the cheese sauce.

How do you make the best cheese sauce for homemade mac and cheese?

The cheesy sauce that you make is the key to having a creamy mac and cheese that everyone will love. That is why it is important to find the right kinds of cheeses and to follow the instructions closely.

To make this creamy cheese sauce, gather the following ingredients:

• Unsalted butter
• Evaporated milk
• Whole Milk
• All purpose flour
• shredded cheddar cheese
• shredded manchego cheese
• American cheese slices
• Paprika
• ground nutmeg
• Garlic powder
• Black pepper
• Salt

In order to make sure the American cheese melts more easily, cut it into smaller pieces and set aside. Start by heating a large non-stick pot over low heat. When it is hot, add the butter and let it melt, being careful not to burn it.

When the butter is completely melted, add the flour and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. You will know it is ready when the flour starts to turn a light brown color. Add the whole milk and evaporated milk to the flour mixture, along with all of the spices and then raise the temperature to medium heat, stirring constantly so that it doesn’t burn. Let the combination heat up, but don’t let it boil.

Once the sauce starts to thicken, it is time to lower the heat and add the combination of cheeses. Again, you need to keep stirring it constantly until the cheese start to melt. Once the cheese is completely melted, turn off the heat and add the previously cooked macaroni and stir until integrated completely with the cheese sauce.

Now it is ready to serve!

What can you add to macaroni and cheese?

This macaroni and cheese recipe is the real deal all by itself, but there are always ways to modify it to give it even more flavor.

One of my favorite variations is to simply add some homemade bacon bits. To do this, just cook the bacon, let it cool and then crumble it. You can add it once the rest of the recipe is finished and just stir it in.

Another variation is to add some type of meat, like brisket, pulled pork, or chicken. This ensures that it becomes a complete meal and trust me, it really takes it to the next level.

Finally, if you want your macaroni and cheese to have a bit of a kick, you can add cayenne pepper powder, chipotle powder, or red pepper flakes, and replace the American cheese with pepper jack cheese.

If you have leftovers, make sure you store it in an airtight container and eat it within a day or two.

Beans, especially black beans, are an extremely important part of Mexican cuisine. They are just as important as tortillas, corn, and peppers and can be found as a side dish for almost any Mexican food you can think of. They are made with very simple ingredients and are so easy to make. I know it can be tempting to use canned refried beans, but trust me, homemade beans are so much better and you can make them using this easy recipe.

This particular recipe has so much flavor, because it adds a little bit of chorizo, but you can use the basic recipe included without chorizo as well. They go perfectly with tortilla chips and are a delicious side dish that blows the canned stuff out of the water.

What are Refried Beans?

Refried beans (known as frijoles refritos in Spanish) consists of black beans or pinto beans that are cooked and then fried with pork lard, olive oil, or vegetable oil, and then smashed until you get the perfect consistency. You can find a wide variety of refried beans and they almost certainly offer them as an option at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Next time, can make them at home using this easy to follow recipe.

My favorite way to make them is with a little bit of chorizo and onions, which gives it a lot of extra flavor that will have you coming back for more.

This delicious refried beans recipe is a perfect side dish for your next Mexican food night. They go great with mexican rice, tortillas, tostadas, huevos rancheros, and more!

How do you make Mexican Refried Beans?

To make this recipe, you will start with the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of black or pinto beans (previously cooked, with a little bit of its own bean broth). While I don’t recommend canned refried beans, you can use the canned version of whole beans as part of this recipe.
• 1/4 onion cut into slices
• 1 large clove of garlic, cut in half.
• 2 tablespoons of pork lard or oil
• 100 grams of chorizo (optional)
• Salt to taste

The cooking process if very simple. First, you will heat up the oil or lard in a large frying pan over medium heat. You can also use a large cast iron skillet for even more flavor. If you are going to make the version with chorizo, fry it until well cooked and then set aside.

Next, in the same frying pan, saute the onion together with the garlic until the onion is translucen and you can start to smell the garlic. Then remove them from the frying pan and set aside.

Finally, you will add the beans to the pan and after about a minute, you will want to mash them. For this step you can use a potato masher or something similar. Now you will want to add the chorizo, onions and garlic back to the pan with the beans and add salt to taste.

Once everything is combined, let the beans cook for about 10 minutes, moving them constantly with a wooden spoon so that they don’t burn. Once they have your desired consistency (the best refried beans are creamy refried beans) you will remove them from the heat and serve as a dish with tortilla chips, queso fresco, or tortillas.

These flavorful refried beans can be used for a variety of Mexican dishes also like enfrijoladas, tostadas, and more.

Mashed potatoes is not a recipe that I grew up cooking or eating much in Mexico. We do eat lots of potatoes in Mexico, and we even mash them, but we prepared them in a different manner and with different types of recipes. For example, in Mexico you can often find flautas, or taquitos, that consist of corn tortillas, filled with mashed potatoes and then fried. You can also find potatoes mixed with chorizo and served as tacos! 

Here in the United States, however, I have learned to love mashed potatoes with gravy, served with a delicious pork or beef roast. This has become one of our favorite Sunday dinners and I want to share with you all today one of my favorite ways to make mashed potatoes in a crockpot. 

What is the best way to make crockpot mashed potatoes? 

There are many recipes online for making mashed potatoes in your crockpot. I think this is because everyone knows that when it comes to dinner, convenience is very important. In my case, we have 4 boys under 12 so our house is always crazy! On Sundays, I like to get this meal going in th morning, so that it is ready for us in the early afternoon when we get home from church. 

This recipe can be adapted to your personal tastes and how you like for it to be seasoned, but the base recipe will include potatoes, sour cream, butter, and heavy whipping cream. In addition, I like to add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make sure it has great flavors. 

After you add all of the ingredients to the crockpot, you will set it on low for about 4-6 hours. At that point, the potatoes will be perfectly tender and ready to mash and serve with your favorite gravy. I always add an extra dollop of butter to the serving dish so that it starts to melt – everyone seems to love it! 

What can you serve with mashed potatoes?

Mashed potatoes are a side dish that can go alongside many types of main dishes. Some of my favorites are below:

• Authentic Barbacoa de Borrego Recipe (Lamb Barbacoa)
• Barbacoa Tacos
• Amazing Smoked Pork Chops Recipe
• How To Make Delicious Smoked Ribs

Have you ever made a delicious meal, just to not have any good side dish to go along with it? I know that has happened to me before, which is why I love to share quick and tasty side dishes whenever possible. 

One of my favorite side dishes is coleslaw. You can find a simple and tasty version here – trust me, you will fall in love! Today, however, I am going to share a variation on traditional coleslaw using apples – it is appropriately called “apple slaw.” 

While I love regular coleslaw, the extra crunch and tang that the apple gives to this recipe is so good. The dressing is also a bit different and is made to perfectly complement the other ingredients. 

How do you make apple slaw?

You will need the following ingredients for the dry portion of the apple slaw recipe:

• shredded cabbage
• green apples
• shredded carrots
• chopped cilantro
• nuts (I prefer cashews)

These ingredients are strong enough to hold up to the flavors from the dressing, and they complement each other so well.

You make the dressing with a combination of tasty ingredients, including mayonaise, dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar. 

All you have to do is make the dressing, and then add it to the dry ingredients before mixing well and cooling in the refrigerator. 

What do you serve apple slaw with?

You can serve Apple slaw as a side dish for a variety of recipes. Some of my favorites are the following:

• The Best BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders
• How To Make Smoked Pulled Pork 
• How To Make Delicious Smoked Ribs
• Slow Cooker Chipotle Barbecue Sauce Meatballs
• Easy Homemade Fried Chicken Sandwich
• How To Make Delicious Smoked Turkey on a Traeger

Whatever you serve it with, it will add something special to the meal.

The post Amazing Apple Slaw Recipe appeared first on My Latina Table.

I have to admit that I had never eaten coleslaw before coming to the United States. In Mexico, there are some similar recipes, like this Jicama and Cucumber Slaw with Sweet and Spicy Dressing, but even that is a bit different than your traditional American cole slaw. 

The first time I saw it, I was a little bit hesitant to try it, because it was different from anything I had tried before. That said, after one bite, I realized why coleslaw is so popular! 

I absolutely love the creaminess of the sauce, combined with the crunchiness of the veggies. Of course, I had to come up with my own version after trying a few and that is what I am going to share today. 

What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Coleslaw?

Cole slaw is really a pretty simple recipe to make. You will need to have the following ingredients:

• Shredded Carrots and Cabbage (I almost always buy the pre-shredded bags from the store to save time);
• Homemade Coleslaw dressing (recipe below)

You can also mix it up a bit by making apple slaw instead – check out the recipe here. 

How Do You Make Coleslaw?

As you saw above, you can make coleslaw with only a few simple ingredients. Making it is just as simple! All you have to do is add the shredded cabbage and carrots to a large bowl, and then slowly add the dressing, mixing it as you go. 

Some people like their coleslaw to be very saturated with the dressing. Since the cabbage and carrots are pretty crunchy, they can handle quite a bit of sauce. Other people like to go a bit easy on the dressing, and that is fine as well. That is why I suggest that you add just a little bit of dressing at a time so that you can ensure that it has the perfect amount for  your individual tastes. 

What Can  You Serve Coleslaw With?

One of the reasons that cole slaw is so popular is that it is easy to make and is a great side dish. I personally like to serve it with fried chicken and grilled or smoked meats like this brisket. It also goes great as a side dish for burgers and chicken sandwiches. 

That said, by far, my favorite way to serve this is as part of a smoked pulled pork sandwich. The flavors complement each other perfectly, and it makes for a perfect bite. Check out our recipe for smoked pulled pork and you will see what I mean!

No matter how you serve your coleslaw, you can be certain that it will be popular if you follow this recipe.
