What to do with dip...

I've posted a lot about a little bit of dip, but it always seems like we have a tablespoon or two left in the containter and I can't throw it out.  I made these potatoes the other night and they were E.A.S.Y.  There are only 3 ingredients! They would be great with bbq chicken or ribs this summer.  Once again, I ate them cold for lunch the next two days (I am a traveling teacher and I have to eat lunch in my car).  They were still great!  Enjoy!



Weeknight Potatoes
Ingredients:
6 Small Baked Potatoes
3 TBSP Dip (I used French Onion, but Ranch, Dill, Spinach or Bacon would work just as well)
1 Cup Shredded Cheese (I used Colby)

1. Thoroughly wash potatoes (you're going to keep the skin on so this is important).  Cut off the ends and cook in the microwave for about ten minutes until soft.  I usually check at 5 minutes, and 7 minutes to make sure they're not finished yet.  You don't want your potatoes exploding!
2. When potatoes have cooled, slice into thin slices.  Pour into a bowl.  Mix in cheese and dip.  Spray a large skillet with non-stick spray. Spread potato mixture into the skillet.  Broil on high for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly (keep an eye on them, you don't want to burn them).  Serves 5 to 6

What to do with leftover hamburgers and dip...

Last weekend we had friends over for a fantastic, end of the summer bbq.  (It's only the end of the summer because our school is back in session.)  As always, we had way too much food.  When I was little, we used to eat a dish called pizza burgers at school.  I remember I loved them.  This gave me the idea to turn our hamburgers into breakfast burgers.  These were easy to make and only need a couple ingredients.  Enjoy!


Breakfast Burgers:
Ingredients:
2- 1/4 Hamburgers, crumbled
2 Eggs
1/3 Cup Dip (I used spinach artichoke, but any will work.)
3 Hamburger or Hotdog Buns
Shredded Cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together hamburger meat, eggs, and dip.  Spread out over hamburger or hotdog buns.  Top with shredded cheese.
3. Bake for 10 minutes.  Makes 6 Breakfast Burgers.
