BLT Dip

I was first introduced to this recipe by my step sister Kim. She had made it and brought it to one of the Christmas family gatherings. It was the talk of the table. I loved it!


INGREDIENTS:

1 pound bacon, cooked and diced into small pieces
1 cup Kraft® Mayo
1 cup Sour Cream (yogurt for lighter version)
2-3 medium tomatoes, chopped
Varies Crackers, lettuce pieces, veggies or miniature tea sandwich bread slices.
In a medium bowl, combine mayo, bacon, sour cream and chopped tomatoes. Mix until well combined. Chill for 2-4 hours before serving.

Black Bean and Corn Salsa

When it is just my husband, my son and myself, it seems as though I am the only one who will eat this. Probably because it has healthy stuff in it (hee hee).

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz.) Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (10 oz. each) RoTel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained
  • 1/2 cup whole kernel corn, frozen or canned (I perfer frozen)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
This recipe can be eaten and served hot or cold. If serving it hot, mix all ingredients in a pan and heat until heated through. If serving cold, mix all ingredients well and refrigerate until ready to serve allowing the flavors to marry. Serve with Corn tortilla chips or crusty toasted bread. 

Velvetta w/ Rotel Dip

This is my sons Favorite Dip. You can make so many versions of dips with velvetta cheese.
I will list the different versions after this recipe.


1 Block - Velvetta Cheese ( I use 2% with this recipe)
2 Cans - Rotel Tomatoes - Original w/ Green Chilies

THAT'S IT!!!!

Cube up the velvetta cheese in 1 inch cubes. Add to the crockpot. pour in the cans of Rotel tomatoes including the juices (do not drain).Cook on low in the slow cooker until cheese is melted and then turn down to keep warm. Done! Serve w/ tortilla chips. Good on pasta, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. The list is never ending.
