The patty pans were perfect for stuffing and hollow out really easy with a spoon. The original Martha Stewart recipe called for using yellow squash, but I thought the patty pans were a better choice and could hold more filling.
We also had a lot of left over filling so we froze it and used it the next week. Actually I think these pictures were from the batch that used the frozen filling. I even read some where that you can fill the patty pan and freeze the whole thing. I think we may do that so we can use it on those days when we are too busy or tired to cook.
In the end we topped it with a little bit of sour cream and cilantro. This was a really easy and cheap meal to make. With the ability to make a bunch and freeze it this meal was a huge winner for us! So here is the recipe we used. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
