My work party is tomorrow. There are 18 of us. We do a sign up. I am bringing a winter fruit salad. It has greens, pears, apples, cranberries, shredded Swiss, cashews, and a homemade lemon poppy dressing. This salad is always a hit- I'm asked to bring it every time I go to a dinner or potluck.
I have cheated using baked beans. Open a can, put it in a crock pot. I also put in some of that pre-cooked bacon. It seems as if they will devour that stuff.
Buffalo Chicken Dip!
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buffalo-chicken-dip/
I make it on the stove top with rotisserie chicken breasts, then transfer it a crock pot. It freezes wonderfully and is always a hit. I serve with with blue corn tortilla chips and celery stalks.
I also use 1/2 the ranch dressing the recipe calls for and low fat cream cheese.
True Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip is made with Blue Cheese dressing not ranch.
Delicious either way though.
Here is what I bring every time. I'm famous for it! No refrigeration or heating required.
Hot and spicy crackers
If you want to make regular sized crackers:
1 package dry ranch dressing mix (NOT dip mix)
2T red pepper flakes
1 c. canola oil
1 box saltines (16 oz)
Mix first three ingredients in a bowl. Place crackers in a jumbo size ziplock bag and pour the dressing mixture over. Zip the bag and carefully turn it over and over until the crackers are evenly coated. I like to wait at least an hour before serving to let all that goodness blend together.
Here is the mini-cracker version:
Most or all of the dressing mix packet, to taste
1T red pepper flakes
¾ c. canola oil
1 box mini-saltines (11 oz)
You can do these in a gallon-sized bag.
People always "squee" over the little ones.
Enjoy!!
Could you PM me a recipe, please? YUM! OP - roast beef, from a meat market, with au jus. Throw all in the crockpot. Heat through, serve with good rolls..
Would you share your recipe Marmalade?
My father and I love blue cheese, but no one else does. Maybe I will try to sneak it in instead of ranch. Is there a big flavor difference?
You would make it the same way you do now, just substitute the Blue cheese salad dressing instead of the ranch.
I wouldn't say there is a big flavor difference, but you can definitely taste the blue cheese, it's not overpowering though.
