    Jalapeno Popper Dip


    Jalapeno Poppers are my favorite snack! The cream cheese filled jalapeno wrapped in bacon and grilled up. YUM! They are a lot of work to put together however instead of spending all that time making the poppers you can make a dip and still get the great flavor.

    2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

    1 cup mayonnaise

    1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained

    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

    Buffalo Chicken Dip


    Buffalo Wings are delicious and great for your Superbowl party but they are messy and you have a ton of bones to discard. Why not keep the deliciousness of the wings without the mess.

    Ingredients

    1 (10 ounce) can chunk chicken, drained 

    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

    1/2 cup Ranch dressing

    1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot, not to be confused with their pepper sauce. Start with less if you want and add more to your desired hotness.)

    3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese blue cheese crumbles (optional)

    Directions

    Heat chicken and Buffalo sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Make sure to break up the chicken so there are no big chunks.

    Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm.

    Mix in shredded cheese.

    Pour into a shallow dish or pie pan and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and microwave it until the cheese melts.

    Serve with chips for dipping.

    Chili Pockets


    I love to have chili at my football parties. It is warm and filling, but it is so messy and not very portable. So why not put it in a pocket and you have your handheld chili.

    INGREDIENTS

    No-Stick Cooking Spray

    2 pkgs (13.8 oz each) refrigerated pizza crust dough

    1 can (15 oz each) Wolf® Brand Chili No Beans

    1 can (15 oz each) Ranch Style® Beans, rinsed, drained

    2 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend (2 cups = 8 oz)

    1 can (10 oz each) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained

    1 cup sour cream

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside.

    Unroll pizza crusts. Cut each crust into 4 rectangular pieces, slightly stretching each piece.

    Combine chili, beans and cheese in large bowl.

    Spoon about 3/4 cup filling onto one half of each rectangle. Fold dough over and press edges firmly together to seal.

    Gently place pockets on baking sheets.

    Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

    Combine drained tomatoes and sour cream in small bowl; blend well.

    Serve sour cream mixture as a dip for pockets after cooling a few minutes.

    Frothy White Frosting [recipe follows] small orange slices, for garnish

    Directions:

    5. Mix beer and milk in a measuring cup. Alternatively add beer / milk mixture and flour mixture to butter mixture in the large bowl, beating after each. End on the flour mixture.

    6. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake for 18 minutes at 375 degrees F until cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

    7. Once cool, frost each cupcake with a generous amount of frosting. Just before serving, garnish each with a small orange slice.
