Hot Crab Artichoke Dip

Here is a recipe for another Superbowl Sunday favorite.  Whenever I make Hot Crab Artichoke Dip is always one of the first things to disappear.  It tastes great and it is easy to make.

 

Hot Crab Artichoke Dip

 

Ingredients:

8 oz Cream Cheese

3/4 Cup Mayonnaise

1 Cup Shredded Parmesan

8 oz Lump Crab Meat

10 oz Marinated Artichoke Hearts(drained and diced)

2 Tsp Garlic Powder

First, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Next, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise,  garlic powder,  and 1/2 cup of the shredded Parmesan.   Now, slowly add the crab meat and artichoke hearts.  Spread mixture in a glass baking dish(I use a glass pie plate) and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top.  Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the Parmesan is slightly browned on top.  Remove from the oven and serve hot with tortilla chips or crackers.

 

 

Game Day Chili Dip

With super bowl approaching in a few days, I thought it would be a good idea to start putting together some recipe ideas for our super bowl get together. We always tend to have lots of different types of snacks but chips and dips are always a must have. This is a SIMPLE recipe, and is great with tortilla chips.

Game Day Chili Dip

Ingredients:

1 15oz Can Chili

1 15oz Can Re-fried Beans

16oz Cream Cheese

1 Small Can Diced Green Chilies(optional)

1/2 Cup Salsa

1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

First, pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Next, mix all the ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl, except the shredded cheese.   Spread the mixture in a 8×8 pan and bake covered for 35 minutes.  Now uncover and sprinkle with shredded cheese and return to the oven for 15 minutes, uncovered.  Finally, remove from oven and serve hot with tortilla chips.  This is an easy recipe with minimal prep time and is a game day favorite!

Ry’s Dill Pickle Dip

My daughter has the same passion for cooking that I do and occasionally I give her permission to “create” a recipe.  I let her use almost anything in the kitchen and put together a recipe.  The only rule is…you have to eat what you make. She really has a pretty good idea of what flavors go together.  And since she is eight, most of her recipes are pretty simple, and that is right up my alley.  She has asked me recently if I have shared her Dill Pickle Dip recipe yet, so here it is.
