We're still offering a full meal to our teens that come to youth group and I love the challenge of figuring out what to prepare each week, especially since we have so many teens this year!
This past Tuesday I went the Mexican route and had a couple of different things available for dinner. Large-pan-type-dishes* seem to work best, so I made a Mexican Lasagna for the main dish, then also had guacamole, chips, taquitos and salsa on the side.
Quick note: I used hamburger rather than turkey in the lasagna. I also snuck in 1 tsp of cumin. And those taquitos? AMAZING. I should have doubled the recipe.
Dessert was Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies. A little spicy, but very delicious, as you can see by this photo:
I have to point out that it's important to let these cool completely before cutting, as the Foodie Bride directs. I used ½ t of crushed red pepper in these and my ganache was a 50-50 mix of bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolates (pantry difficulties...).
*Yes, yes, the proper word here is casserole. But that sounds stuffy and like I've made something awful. Maybe the Minnesotans have the right idea calling it 'hot dish'.
