Hamburger Dip

-


Someday when you are not in the mood to cook or are pressed for time, make this dip and serve it with baked potatoes with a bit of lettuce on the side with salsa and sour cream or with some cut up veggies of your choice.

Today I'm not really in the mood to cook anything difficult...or clean for that matter...or do the leaves...or clean our part of school tonight. Sigh, all I really want to do is go outside and walk till I'm tired then come inside and sip something hot and maybe take a nap or read. Do I sound lazy to you at all? :)

 But you all know that with a family coming home from school and work with growling bellies, not having supper prepared is not an option. And with company coming Sunday evening, not cleaning isn't an option either. So I thought I would make this easy, and very yummy, dip for supper. I think I will serve it with tortilla chips and cut up veggies for a simple, quick meal. Maybe throw in some hot chocolate or tea since it's a little chillier outside today. It really takes very little time to prepare.

                                                             1 pound ground beef
                                                             1 small onion, chopped or
                                                             1 Tablespoon dried onion flakes
                                                             1 can (10 ¾ oz.) cream of mushroom soup
                                                             1 can (10 ¾ oz.) tomato soup
                                                             ½ teaspoon chili powder
                                                             ½ package taco seasoning
                                                             1 cup sour cream
                                                             1 pint salsa
                                                             1 pound Velveeta cheese

Brown ground beef and onions in a saucepan. When no longer pink transfer to a colander to drain off fat.



 I like to rinse it with HOT water then drain thoroughly. Transfer back into the saucepan and add the rest of the ingredients-



-and heat slowly until cheese is melted. If the cheese is cold and you wish it to melt faster,grate it into the ground beef mixture. Today I put everything into the crockpot and just cut the cheese into chunks. Stir it occasionally until cheese is all melted. Since I think the lid of the crockpot creates too much condensation and I don't like for all that water to run into the dip I covered it with foil-



-and left one side open a little so the steam can escape and the dip won't be runny and the flavor not diluted.

 Enjoy your easy supper!

    Dropping in from This Weeks Craving. What a yummy looking dip. I'll have to try it soon, probably the next time I make nachos. This dip would go great with it.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Black Raspberry Vanilla Milkshake

PERFECT FOR A  WARM SUMMER DAY! I know another Black Raspberry recipe. I promise to start eating and thinking of other food/things soon but indulge me just a bit longer. I had some black raspberry juice in the fridge and in all my warm, humid berry pickings I would think of cool refreshing things to make with them and decided I need one of these. I was not disappointed! It's delicious!! 3-4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract 2-3 lg. serving tablespoons Seedless Raspberry Juice Milk, just enough to make it blendable Mash the berries and press through a sieve. Discard seeds. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.                                                                     aaahhh, so yummy!! Be Blessed!
