Notes
- This recipe works verywell with reduced-fat products. I often make it with low-fat sour cream and 2% cheddar.
- The type of chile you use in this is completely up to you. My favorite is the canned mild Hatch chiles, but please use hot chiles if that's your preference. You can skip the can altogether and use a handful of chopped fresh jalapenos or serranos if you like.
- Use good, fresh cornmeal in this. Cornmeal contains oils and can lose its flavor and freshness if it sits on the shelf for a long period so the fresher the better.
- Store the leftovers in the refrigerator. They'll keep for three or four days.
