Cook Time: 40 mins

Yield: 6 servings

Cranberry + Brie + Brussels Sprouts Skillet Nachos

Ingredients:

Sweet Potatoes & Brussel Sprouts

Nonstick spray, as needed

1 red onion, diced

1 large sweet potato peeled and diced

2 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil

2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

2 cups brussels sprouts, shredded

Steps:

Nachos

Tortilla chips, as needed

¾ cup prepared cranberry sauce

1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded

8 oz brie, thinly sliced

Fresh ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Make the Sweet Potatoes and Brussels: preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. I like to always use convection Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray

Toss the onions and sweet potatoes along with rosemary, garlic powder and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt & pepper then spread out evenly on the greased baking sheet.

Roast until the sweet potatoes are tender and beginning to brown, @ 12-15 minutes.

Add the shredded brussels sprouts to the baking sheet and toss well to combine Return the baking sheet to the oven until the veggies are golden brown all over, 7-10 minutes more

Make the Nachos: Arrange the tortilla chips in an even layer in a large skillet. Dollop three-quarters of the cranberry sauce all over the chips Top with three-quarters of the vegetables

Arrange the shredded white cheddar and brie in an even layer on top and then finish with a layer of the remaining vegetable mixture and cranberry sauce.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cheeses are very melted, @ 15-18 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the oven and serve immediately, garnish with freshly ground pepper and parsley

UPCOMING ADDITION TO DINNER MENU

COURSE SUPERINTENDENT

Dan Harris

September is a very exciting month here at The River Club, as it brings some slightly cooler weather along with some great member tournaments! Agronomically, our warm season turfgrasses will begin shutting down with the shorter day lengths and cooler temperatures. On the other hand, our bentgrass putting surfaces will begin to come out of the summer stressful period and we can begin fine tuning them for our championship season ahead.

As a reminder, we will be closed for maintenance September 5th & 6th for greens aerification. This process is extremely important to relieve compaction, remove organic matter and increase water percolation and set us up for a fun filled championship golf season. We will be punching approximately a .2” diameter hole which is the same size hole we punched during our June aerification. This process is minimally invasive and will fully recover within 7-10 days. With the championship season right around the corner, I would like to once again remind our membership to do their part and fill all divots on tees and fairways as well as fix all ballmarks on putting surfaces to ensure the best possible playing conditions We appreciate your continued support and cooperation as always and look forward to seeing everyone out on the golf course
