Baked Cheese Dip

Over the next few days, I thought I 'd share some of our favorite appetizer recipes. 
We love appetizers, and Baked Cheese Dip is one of Larry's favorites! 
I’ve made several versions of this through the years. 
We like this one best. 
If you aren't an artichoke fan, leave them out and use two chopped onions instead of just the one called for in the recipe.

Baked Cheese Dip

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
a dash or two of hot sauce (optional)
1 can artichokes, drained and chopped
1 (10-inch) round bread loaf, hollowed out (reserve the “lid”)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix first eight ingredients and spoon into bread bowl. 
Put “lid” on top. Wrap in foil and bake until dip is hot, about 45 minutes or so.
Serve with crackers and bread cubes from where you hollowed out the loaf.
You can dispense with the bread bowl and just put the dip mixture into a sprayed, oven-safe dish; sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese and paprika and bake as directed.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web!

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
