Halloween is a time for children, but I use any occasion as an excuse to make a special dinner. Problem is, if you are entertaining little ghosts and goblins at your front door, or if you have children of your own to take trick-or-treating, you can't be tied up in the kitchen. This menu includes make-ahead recipes that can be prepared earlier that day or the weekend before. Everyone can munch on the Jalapeno Cheese Dip while waiting for dinner. To add to the fun, I included some recipes for special Halloween treats at the bottom of the page. Hope you enjoy and.......stay safe!
Tortilla Chips for Dipping Mom's Chili with Meat and Beans Rice
Grated Sharp Cheese and Chopped Onions for Garnish
Notes: The Jalapeno Cheese Dip can be mixed without heating the day before and then heated before serving. The Chili is best if made at least one day ahead, refrigerated and then reheated. The cheesecake must be made a day ahead. Refrigerate until serving. Chop and shred the condiments for the chili in the morning. The Cornbread can be made ahead and reheated but, like the Rice, it is so quick and easy I would make it just before serving. Special Halloween Treats
