K, posting my favorite need an appetizer or something to take:

Sausage Dip or some people call it Dump Dip

1 lb ground sausage ( I use 1/2 hot & 1/2 mild)

2 pkgs cream cheese (I use 1 regular & 1 fat free) I found that the texture was different when it sat in crock pot for a while.

1 can Rotel tomatoes, undrained (I use original)

Brown sausage, then put sausage, cream cheese and tomatoes in crock pot on low and stir occasionally til blended. Serve with Frito scoops and Tostito scoops. Yummy!

And chase it with a jello shot!

Seeing the sausage dip called "dump" dip reminded me of my daughters favorite cake. It's so sinful I only make it once a year!


Be-Bop's Dump Cake

1 box devils food cake mix
3 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping
3 tablespoons hat fudge ice cream topping
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk

Prepare cake mix and bake in oblong pan. About 10 minutes before it is done, remove from oven and poke holes in top of cake with end of wooden spoon. Sprinkle chocolate chips and pecans on top, drizzle top with caramel & hot fudge topping, then evenly pour condensed milk over top. Put back in oven for remaining ten minutes. Remove from oven and allow to set for about 15 minutes. Serve warm. Can be served with quality vanilla ice cream.

This is absolutely the BEST poundcake recipe EVER! Everyone who has ever tasted it has asked for the recipe. I prefer it with almond extract over the vanilla.


CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE


1 ½ cup butter, softened
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 t. salt
1 T. vanilla extract**

Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer about 30 seconds or until creamy. Gradually add 3 cups sugar, beating 1 (one) minute. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in vanilla. Spoon batter into a greased and floured 10” tube or Bundt pan.

Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 30-40 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10-15 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Cappuccino Pound Cake: Dissolve 3 T. instant espresso powder in 3 T. hot water; add to batter along with eggs.

**I use Almond extract instead of vanilla or 2 teaspoons Almond and 1 teaspoon Vanilla. Probably would be good with lemon or orange extract, too!

With the recent talk about tortillas, I thought I'd add a couple of our favorites. It depends on the amount of filling you use and the size of the tortilla as to how many servings you will get.

Breakfast Burritos

1 dozen eggs, slightly beaten
1 pound ground sausage
3 cups shredded frozen hashbrowns
1 1/2 cups shredded pepper-jack or cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1 small can green chili's, drained well
chunky salsa
tortilla's

Cook sausage and remove from pan. Drain fat. Add hashbrowns to pan and begin to cook, stirring well. Add onion and bell pepper. When hashbrowns are done, add sausage and eggs and scramble together untill eggs are done. Stir in green chili's. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir well.

Warm up tortillas. Add spoonful of filling and top with salsa. Roll up as usual. Can be served with extra salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole. When completely cool, the burritos can be individually wrapped and frozen.

Pork Enchiladas

1 pound cooked, lean pork, shredded (boiled with seasonings of your choice - I like sage, garlic and a bit on onion - reserve broth)
1/2 cup chunky spicy salsa
2 small cans green chili's, drained well
1 can black beans, slightly mashed
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 medium purple onion, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Mix all ingredients well. Put a spoonful of filling onto tortilla and roll up, tucking in the ends. Place wrapped side down in non-stick, oblong baking pan. I use a glass one.

2 packets Chili seasoning mix
2 packet Taco seasoning mix
4 cups water

Mix well so there are no lumps. Pour over rolled tortillas. Cover with additional shredded cheese. Bake at 325 until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Serve with Spanish Rice*, refried beans, shredded lettuce, fresh chopped tomato, sour cream and guacamole.

I make my own Spanish Rice, but a boxed version will probably work as well.

*Spanish Rice

2 cups broth from above recipe - add water if needed to make 2 cups.
2 cups diced tomatoes with chili's do not drain.
1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 small fresh green chili, chopped fine, seeds removed
2 cups rice

Mix all ingredients. Stir well and bring to boil. Turn heat to low and cover. Cook 20-25 minutes until rice is done. Stir well and allow to set for about 5 minutes before serving.

Steak Wraps

1 1/2 pounds steak, sliced into thin strips - even a cheap cut will work here!
1 large onion, sliced into rings
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh, course ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon unsalted butter ( margarine will also work)

Add everything except the steak. Cook until onions are slightly tender. Add steak & cook to desired doneness. Put a bit of A! steak sauce on warm tortilla and wrap. Serve with a cool salad.
