Bacon Cheese Dip

This one is great because its in the crock pot and super easy. We think it tastes very similar to the bacon cheddar toasts. Give those a try if you haven't already! I am pretty sure I halved this recipe when I made it. Makes a TON.

What you need:
16 slices bacon, cooked, and crumbled
2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened and cubed
4 cups shredded cheddar
1 cup half and half
2 teaspoons Worchestershire
1 teaspoon dried minced onion (I actually used real diced onion for this, about half an onion probably)
1/2 tgeaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of Hot Sauce
Crackers or french bread slices for dipping

What you need to do:
Add all ingredients except bacon to crock pot. Cover, and cook on low until cheese melts (probably 1 hour), stirring occasionally. Add bacon, stir, and keep on low heat to serve. Served with crackers or French Bread slices.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits

These are wannabe Red Lobster Biscuits. I mean I could have just eaten the dough and been happy without even cooking them. MMMMMMM

What you need:
2 c. Bisquick
2/3 c. milk
1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese (I probably used a little more than this)
1/2 c. melted butter
1/4 tsp. garlic salt

What you need to do:
Mix Bisquick, milk and cheddar until well combined. Drop by balls onto Pam sprayed baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Mix butter and garlic and brush on rolls while still on the pan and hot.

Cream Cheese Sausage Dip

This picture looks gross, sorry, but I promise the dip is delicious. And again, super easy.

What you need:
1 pound hot sausage, cooked, crumbled, and drained
1 8 ounce block of cream cheese
1 can of diced Rotel Tomatoes, drained
Tortilla chips for dipping

What you need to do:
Pour everything in crock pot and cook for 1.5 hours on low or 45 minutes on high. Stir once the cream cheese starts melting. Serve with tortilla chips.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

I can't believe this hasn't been blogged yet but I am pretty sure its not on there, somehow?! Anyway, this is the easiest, quickest, most loved dip you will find. Lots of people make different variations but this is the one we've always made, and it always is a huge hit.

What you need:
1 giant can of chicken, drained
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing (or ranch)
1/2 cup texas pete buffalo wing sauce
1 8oz block of cream cheese, softened
Celery (optional) - you can put chopped celery in the dip and/or serve it with celery sticks
Fritos or Tostidos for dipping

What you need to do:
Mix all ingredients together (except chips) and microwave for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. THATS IT!

Pepperoni Cheese Bread

From the Dean Brothers Cookbook. I love it because it has pepperoni, cheese, and biscuits, so you can't really go wrong. The Dean Brothers write that if you're taking elsewhere (tailgate, picnic, etc) to time it so that it comes out of the oven 30 minutes before you need to leave. Let cool for 20 minutes, wrap in foil, and serve warm when you get there. Its also terrific completely cooled.

What you need:
1 7.5 ounce package refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
3 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 3/4 cup)
2 ounces pepperoni, chopped (I just used the pepperoni minis and they worked perfect)

What you need to do:
Preheat oven to 450. Lightly coat a 9x5 inch loaf pan with Pam. Set aside. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers; top with cheese and pepperoni. APull the dough up and around the filling, pinching the edges to form a ball. Place the stuffed balls in the prepared pan (they should fit snugly). Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cool 20 minutes and then wrap in foil to take elsewhere.

Note - I just love pepperoni and cheese so I sprinkled some of each on top of the biscuits before cooking. I recommend that!

Crescent Wrapped Meatballs

You can probably guess how to make these just by the title, and yes it is just that easy. Dudes love these things. And they really coudln't be easier. You will want to double this for sure.

What you need:
1 bag precooked frozen meatballs (I think it has 14-16 meatballs)
1 can crescent roll dough (the one that makes 8 crescent rolls)
Pasta Sauce for dipping

Thaw the meatballs (I just put them in the fridge overnight the night before). Roll out crescent roll dough and cut each triangle into two triangles, so that you have 16 triangles of crescent dough. Wrap 1 triangle around each meatball and bake according to dough directions. Serve with pasta sauce for dipping.

Herbed Cream Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers

These were delicious!! And a different twist. Tommy loves lamb and saw this in the cream cheese cookbook so we had to try it.

What you need:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives (I used dried)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (I used dried)
1.5 pounds ground lamb
1 tbsp worchestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch watercress, thick stems removed, separateed into equal portions (I skipped this)
4 onion sandwich rolls, split, toasted

What you need to do:
Mix cream cheese and herbs until well belnded. Roll into 4 balls; flatten each into disk on sheet of wax paper. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until firm. Combine meat, Worchestershire, S&P. Shape into 8 thin patties. Place cream cheese disks on 4 patties; cover with remaining patties. Press edges to seal together. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add patties; cook 5-6 minutes each side. ***We actually just grilled them outside.*** Servie in rolls with watercress.
