Sausage Dip

I received this recipe a few years ago at a Recipe Swap Party. It's such a easy appetizer and always a hit. My family requests it any time I'm in charge of the appetizer.

Sausage Dip

2 lbs. sausage, cooked & drained

2 blocks of cream cheese (I use reduced fat and it turns out great)

2 cans of Rotel

Combine all ingredients together. Put in a 9x13 pan. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

We had a family cookout this evening, and I was in charge of the appetizer. Instead of making our usual dips, I decided to branch out a little. And I'm so glad I did!

This recipe comes from http://www.allrecipes.com/. I made a few adjustments of my own.

This makes a lot of dip, so it's perfect for a game day appetizer! And much cleaner than wings :)

Buffalo Chicken Dip

2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup Ranch dressing

3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks® Red Hot®

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 bunch celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces

1 (8 ounce) box chicken-flavored crackers

Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly. Serve with celery sticks and crackers.

My Changes:

• Used a rotisserie chicken instead of canned chicken
• Used 1/2 c. Ranch and 1/2 c. Blue Cheese dressing (instead of 1 c. Ranch)
• Did not use all the shredded cheese it calls for. It really doesn't need any at all.
• Used the entire bottle of wing sauce
• I couldn't find chicken flavored crackers (thank goodness, they don't sound appetizing!) We had just plain Club crackers and celery. Celery is a must with this dip!
• I did not use my crock pot for this. I move the dip from the skillet to a baking dish and baked on 350 for 25 minutes.

Yummy Dip

This is a fabulous recipe! It is a staple when my family goes to the beach. There is nothing better than coming back from the beach all drained from the sun & sand and digging into a bowl of cold Yummy Dip. I'm telling you, it's pure perfection!

I received this recipe years ago from my friend, Jen. I believe a friend of her's made it up and the only name people could think of to call it was Yummy Dip. Thanks for the recipe, Jen!!!

Note: The longer this sits in the refrigerator, the better it gets!

Yummy Dip

Small bottle of Italian dressing (I think the best is Kraft's Free Zesty Italian)

Rinse & Drain:

2 cans black-eyed peas

1 can yellow corn

1 can white corn

Dice:

1 large tomato

1 jalepeno (I use 1/2)

1 bunch green onions

1 green pepper

Combine all ingredients together in bowl. Refrigerate overnight. Serve with tortilla chips.

YUMMY!
