Treasured Family Dinner Recipes from Grandma Betty

Sour Cream Substitute

Grandma, I am a grandma too, but I do have a question about sour cream in general. I really do not like it at all, not the taste, not the smell, or not in recipes. (Because I can usually taste it.) Is there a substitute ingredient that I can use that would give my finished dish a good outcome — or what are my options besides just giving up and pick another dish to make?

Hello, Fellow Grandma!  I can understand your feelings about sour cream — my grandson is the same way!  Hmmm, but I’m wondering what your feelings are about regular cream? Because, if you don’t have the same aversion, you can certainly substitute heavy cream for sour cream in virtually any recipe that I can think of.
