Touchdown Taco Dip

Touchdown Taco Dip

1 can (9 ounces) bean dip
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 medium tomato, seeded and diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pitted ripe olives, slices
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Additional sour cream (optional)
Tortilla chips

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spread bean dip over bottom of a small baking dish. Combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Press garlic over cream cheese mixture; mix well.

2. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over bean dip. Grate or sprinkle cheddar cheese over top. Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

3. Sprinkle tomato, onions, olives and cilantro over dip. Garnish with additional sour cream, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips. If you double recipe, substitute 1 can re-fried beans for the bean dip and double remaining ingredients.

This recipe is easily prepared using several of my favorite Pampered Chef products - Classic Batter Bowl, Garlic Press, and Deluxe Cheese Grater. I have used all of these for years, and you just can't wear them out! The Small Oval Baker is the perfect size for this dip! If you double the recipe, the Oval Baker or Deep Dish Baker work very well. Theses stoneware bakers keep the dip warm a long time!

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

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...

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 ...
