CHEESEBURGER DIP

This Cheeseburger Dip tastes just like a Cheeseburger, making it the ultimate game day dip everyone will love!

Whelp, I made it a whopping week into the new year before I had to post something that was either sweet or cheesy, I have a problem, I know. But this Cheeseburger Dip is most definitely the solution!

You see, even though a good chunk of you, including myself, are resolving to eat better, it’s still football season and game days call for game day food like wings and dip! You know, the good stuff!

This dip tastes exactly like a cheeseburger! Onions, relish, ketchup, tomatoes, and mustard bring all the flavors of a classic burger together and with three different kinds of cheese smothering all of it, what’s not to love!? This makes a good size bowl (or two) of dip, which means it’s great for parties and large groups, plus it reheats great! Oh and it’s made in one pan in just 30 minutes, who’s winning game days, now? That’s right, this dip, and YOU!

INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef
½ cup diced white onion
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
8 oz. cream cheese
2 plum tomatoes, diced
¼ cup sweet relish
¼ cup ketchup
2 tbsp yellow mustard
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup chicken broth

PREPARATION
1. Cook ground beef and onion until beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes; drain in a colander or use a lid to drain the fat. Transfer drained beef back to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

2. Add cream cheese, diced tomatoes, relish, ketchup, mustard, and cayenne pepper to the ground beef and stir occasionally over low/medium heat until cream cheese has melted.

3. Stir in the cheddar cheese until completely melted, then do the same with the mozzarella.

4. Stir in the chicken stock, let simmer for another 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish and garnish with diced tomatoes and green onion and serve with tortilla chips.

Tips
Reheats well.
Add 8 strips of chopped, cooked bacon for a bacon cheeseburger dip.

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

CHERRY GALETTES WITH ALMOND SOUR CREAM CRUST

Another month has passed and it’s time for Mystery Dish!  This month’s host was Sarah at The Pajama Chef.  She put together an great list of items including:  coffee, sour cream, farro, almonds, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, jicama, cucumber, tomatoes, flavored oils, herbs, cornmeal and hot peppers.  Since cherries are one of the few fruits I love, and they are only in season for approximately 12 seconds each year, I knew they had to be in my recipe.  Visions of pastry danced in my head. When served up a fruit pie, I tend to eat all the crust and leave the fruit on my plate.  I can truly embrace a “pie” with a higher crust to filling ratio.  How I love the galette (French),  also sometimes known as a crostata (Italian).  Regardless of the origins, who doesn’t love more buttery flaky crust? We had to use at least 3 ingredients in our mystery dish, so I decided to add some almonds and sour cream into my pie crust.   Sour cre...
