Cheese and Chutney Turnover image

You can view a video of how to make this recipe at www.digitalcookbook.tv Another flavored chutney may be used but mango is preferred. I couldn't hear the sound on the video for this for some reason, so I've adapted the directions like I always do because the amount of chutney didn't seem to equal its use, so less chutney may be used origionally it was 5 tbsp. I will re-do them better when I can view or you may wanna try and view yourself.

Tips for Making Chili Cheese Turnovers

  • Use a good quality chili. Homemade chili is always best, but if you're short on time, you can use a good quality canned or jarred chili.
  • Be sure to cook the chili until it's thick and flavorful. This will help to prevent the turnovers from becoming soggy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Don't overfill the turnovers. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the turnovers until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the turnovers warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa are all good options.

Conclusion

Chili cheese turnovers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chili cheese turnovers are perfect every time.
