4. Add jalapenos and sauté for 3 minutes.
5. Add heavy whipping cream, half/half, cream cheese and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir constantly and bring to a simmer. Once it comes to a simmer, remove from heat.
6. Butter the bottom of a deep casserole dish (9inx13in), lay the potato slices down in a single layer, overlapping the potatoes like roof shingles.
7. Slowly ladle ⅓ of the cream mixture over the first layer of potatoes, sprinkle salt and pepper over that, then add 1 cup cheddar cheese on top.
8. Repeat two more times by layering the potatoes, cream mixture, and cheddar cheese.
9. Add the parmesan cheese on top.
10. Spray the bottom side of a sheet of aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray and cover the baking dish. Put in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hr 15min.

8 large flour tortillas
2 cans red enchilada sauce
1 lb extra sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
Optional Toppings:
Black olives (sliced)
Sour cream
Cilantro
Avocado
Green onion
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and break up into small chunks. Season with salt. After 2 minutes, begin to stir beef so it can brown on all sides. Once beef is mostly browed, add a ½ can of the enchilada sauce and stir into the beef. Turn heat to medium low and allow the sauce to thicken while stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
2. When the sauce is no longer runny, remove the beef from the heat and set aside. Spray a large casserole dish with nonstick spray, and add the remaining ½ can of enchilada sauce, covering the bottom of the dish.
3. Heat a clean skillet over medium high heat and add one tortilla at a time. Heat each side of the tortilla for about 15 seconds and remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4. Assemble the enchiladas by adding a ¼ cup cheese and a ½ cup ground beef to a tortilla and roll it up. Set the filled tortilla seam side down into the casserole dish. When all 8 enchiladas are in the dish, cover them with the remaining enchilada sauce, and then cover them with the remaining cheese.
5. Put the casserole dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. Take out of the oven and allow the enchiladas to rest for 10 minutes.
6. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.

If you’re from Utah you’ve probably heard of the Wright Family from Beaver Utah. Known for their legendary bull riding expertise, these men are truly one of a kind competitors and know how to bring home the buckles when face to face with some of the most fierce competition in the sport. Supported greatly by the community as the “Home of Champions”, Stetson Wright wanted to give back and bring the community together in a competition in their backyard that could bring the most skilled riders to town. As his competitors will tell you, hosting an event like this while still preparing for competitions is no easy task but Stetson Wright wouldn’t have it any other way.

Motovated Education Program: Several years ago, 5th grade teacher Carol Brinkman started a program to motivate her students by incorporating math, geography and a bit of science into tracking professional supercross. The students track professional riders and use their stats to solve math problems, their locations to study geography and weather and racing conditions to solve problems scientifically. With the help of Madd Parts Kawasaki and their professional riders, John Short and Bubba Pauli, the kids get to learn and gain inspiration from someone who has climbed the highest mountain tops. And the inspiration grows exponentially when these students are invited to meet and see the racers perform in person at the Rice Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah.
