Recipe: Dips for Superbowl

I gave the recipe for Touch Down Taco Dip recipe earlier in the week.
But here are two other great recipes for perfect Superbowl dips.
These are not Pampered Chef recipes, by the way.

Chili Cheese dip
I got this from my Cousin, who I think got this off the can of Hormel Chili or somewhere. It is surprising to me though how many people have never had this dip. AND, it is SO easy to make. Everyone raves over it anywhere I go. I almost feel guilt cause it is so easy. And, make a double or triple portion, cause it goes fast!

• 1 can of hormel NO BEANS chili
• 1 package of cream cheese
• 1 package of shredded cheese of your choice
• Optional toppings: Black olives, chopped tomatoes.

1. Layer bottom of a baking pan with cream cheese.
2. Layer chili on top of that.
3. Top with cheese, and toppings of your choice and place in 300 degree oven until cheese is melted.

Serve with Tortilla chips.

tip: I used the mexican shredded cheese mix (the one with taco seasoning) and was told this tasted like a Taco Bell Chili Cheese Burrito.

SO easy. Enjoy!

Man Dip

I got this recipe from a friend at work who brought this to a work pot luck. Very Yummy!

• 1- 16 ounce of sour cream
• 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix

1. Mix well, chill, & serve.

Serve with pumpernickel sticks, buttery crackers, or Triscuits.

Enjoy!

Recipe: TouchDown Taco Dip

This is my second all-time Fav Pampered Chef Recipe. A little more involved than many game time dips, but the taste is well worth the time invested! With Super Bowl right around the corner this weekend, I figured now would be the time to post this favorite!

Ingredients:

• 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
• 1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
  
• 1/2 cup pitted black olives, sliced
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions with tops
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, thinly sliced
• Tortilla Chips

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread refried beans over bottom of Deep Dish Baker using Classic Scraper. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning. Finely chop garlic, add to Batter Bowl and mix well.
   
2. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over beans. Grate Cheese over top using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Bake 15-18 minutes until hot.
   
3. To prepare toppings, slice olives using Egg Slicer Plus. Dice tomato and thinly slice onions. Thinly slice cilantro using Pizza Cutter. Sprinkle olives, tomato, onions, and cilantro over dip. Garnish with additional sour cream, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips.
   

Yield: 16 servings

Tips: I found it helps to place the can of olives in the fridge for a few minutes before slicing with the Egg Slicer Plus. I also skip the cilantro and green onions, because I do not like either.
