Saturday Thoughts...Small Recipe Lunch

Have picnic sour cream dip left over?  Here’s a recipe that is even better with flavored dip instead of plain sour cream.  I used Ranch Flavor Sour Cream Dip today and served the noodles with slices of roasted pork tenderloin and peas with pearl onions.     

Little containers of dip are often cheaper than the same amount of plain sour cream and up the flavor of a plain dish like this.  I didn’t want to buy more chips or prepare more vegetable dippers, so this went on our Saturday lunch table.  I also use dip in recipes like beef or chicken stroganoff instead of sour cream if it's a better buy or I have some already on hand.
