I had coupons at Xmas time for sour cream and it was on sale and I got too much--but it was only a quarter per pint after sale & coupons! I bought extra intending to make dip with it but mil bought ready made dip.

I have 2 pints in the fridge w/ a sell by date of Feb 19. What can I do w/ it? I searched to try to find what I could use it in as a substitute, but could only find things to sub for sour cream. I am thinking baking, can I use it in place of butter/oil in muffins or cakes? We don't do many casseroles, and only I will eat it on baked potatoes, etc, dh won't, so it's a lot for us to use in 2 wks!

I really don't want to freeze it, but if I find a way to sub it in baking I could freeze it for baking later.

Thanks for any ideas!

Go over to the recipe area and do a search for "ham casserole" or "Schinken Flecherl". That recipe calls for 2 cups of sour cream, and it's freaking fabulous.

You caould at it to spaghetti sauce to make it creamy, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup per jar of sauce. Also you could make a killer pound cake using 8oz. but beware you'll want to eat it ALL! Hope this helps, Linda

Beef Stroganoff is yummy and uses sour cream. This recipe is also really popular at our house: Coupons

Thoughts from the life of Kat

I have used a cup in banana bread before yummy!

I use sourcream in my cakes and muffins. Just add in place of the oil, but add a cup of sour cream.

I use it for hashbrown casserole or if you use betty crocker scalloped or any box potatoes, add sour cream in that to make it more creamy.

We use sour cream on our chilli.

You can make homemade potato skins and put sour cream on top.

Take mashed potatoes and instead of milk add sour cream and cream cheese or just add the sour cream.

I have also frozen sour cream. You have to stir it up really good and the texture is off but if you use it for cooking, it is fine, because it taste the same.

You could make your own ranch dip - it's sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch mix.... I don't know what measurements, but I know there is only a little bit of mayo in the dip. I just usually do it to taste - cut up a few carrots before I start so I have something to dip with!!!

Also we have a recipe that is pretty good, though I don't have measurements for that either (I'm not the measuring type )! It's chicken simmered with petite diced tomatoes, sour cream, parmesan cheese, a little white wine, garlic, and 1/2" thick slices of onions. We always brown (cook about 2/3 of the way) the chicken breasts (cut into strips or chunks) with garlic, and remove it from the pan. Then you put in a small amount of white wine to break up the stuff that is burned on the bottom of the pan, and then stir in the petite diced tomatoes, onions, sour cream, parmesan, and extra garlic of course (hehe love the garlic)! After that is heated, put the chicken back into the pan, cover with a lid and let it simmer until the chicken is completely cooked and the onions are transparent. Then I like to remove the lid to let the sauce thicken up. It is great served over/with buttered noodles, and is amazing left over the next day. Hope that helps!
