Recipes for leftover sour cream

Sour cream keeps quick breads moist and makes dips and stroganoff creamy, and it is the topping for tacos, chili and potatoes.

Keeping it: Close the tub tightly, keep it cold and go by the date. It turns grainy after freezing, so frozen sour cream is only for baking.
