My Bosses Zesty Cheese Dip
1-2 pounds lean ground meat (I use 2 pounds she uses 1 just depends on how meaty you like it)
Large Velveta Cheese cubed
1-2 cans of Rotel Tomatoes (with Chillies to make it Zesty and again depends on how you like it for 1 or 2 cans, I use one but have had it with 2 and its not bad at all)

Brown you beef till done. Place cheese, Rotel Tomatoes and cooked ground beef in smaller crockpot. Turn on low and heat thoroughly for about 2 hours stirring about every 30 minutes. Serve in Crockpot set on warm or very low.

We have this even during the winter when no games are playing its a quick dinner that is hearty. You can roll up in burritos, smother chips for nachos, pretzels are excellant dipped in it, spread in between two tortillas and fry up like a Quesadillas.

This is an easy standby that is always a hit. I usually make fresh salsa and guac to go with it. It has a totally different taste than some other processed cheese recipes.


White Beer Cheese Dip


6 cups shredded Asadero* cheese
1 cup beer
1 sm. onion - chopped fine
2-3 jalapeno peppers - seeded, minced
2 cloves garlic - minced
2 Tbls. prepared horseradish
1 tsp. hot sauce

Combine all ingredients in crock pot and stir. Cook on low heat setting until all ingredients are melted together.
Stir again, and serve hot with warmed tortilla chips. I usually provide a combo of corn and flour chips. This serves a bunch of people, but there is rarely any left!

*Asadero is an off-white, semi-firm Mexican cheese often sold in a log shape. Its a great cooking cheese because when it melts, it becomes creamy without giving off any oil, even at higher temperatures. That avoids the inevitable oil slick on the top of some dips. I can usually find it at a higher end grocery store or at a Latin/Mexican grocery store. You can subsitute fresh mozzerella, but it is not as good.

Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABTs)

This infamous snack is a cheese-stuffed jalapeno that is wrapped in bacon and smoked / grilled. There are a lot of variants on this recipe. Here's mine:

8-12 *large* jalapenos (should be about 3 inches long)
pimento cheese (approximately 2/3 cup)
8-12 strips of thick, hickory smoked bacon


1. Slice jalapenos lengthwise in half, but not all the way through. You don't want to cut through the top portion that holds the seeds. The idea is to be able to access the inside, clean it, stuff it, and grill the pepper without the sides coming apart or the cheese leaking out.

2. Take a small spoon, scrape out the seeds and veins as best as you can (baby spoon or grapefruit spoon works well). If you like hot peppers, you can just rinse the seeds out and leave the veins.

3. Use your finger to stuff as much pimento cheese as possible. But not so much that the partially sliced pepper won't close completely.

4. Microwave the bacon until it's half-way done. Wrap the bacon around the pepper. Use a toothpick to pierce and hold in place.

5. Establish a 'medium heat' in a grill or smoker. Optional: Add hickory chips. Grill/smoke over direct heat. After 5 minutes, flip the pepper. At this point you will want to cook by eye. When the pepper is softened with slight brown blisters, it is done. You don't want to overcook where the pepper becomes totally deflated. Bacon should be brown & crisp. Total cooking time is usually about 10 minutes, but it can vary depending on how hot the grill is.

Beer-Can Chicken

1 can (12 ounces) beer
1 chicken (31/2 to 4 pounds)
2 tablespoons spice rub, divided

You'll need:
2 cups wood chips or chunks (preferably apple or hickory)

1. Pop the tab off the beer can. Using a church key-style can opener, make a few more holes in the top of the can. Pour out half the beer into the soaking water of the wood chips. Soak the chips for 1 hour in the liquid, then drain for use. Set the can of beer aside.

2. Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, place a large drip pan in the center. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and preheat on high until you see smoke, then reduce the heat to medium.

3. Remove the packet of giblets from the body cavity of the chicken and set aside for another use. Remove and discard the fat just inside the body and neck cavities. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold running water and then drain and blot dry, inside and out, with paper towels. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the rub inside the body and neck cavities of the chicken. Rub the bird all over on the outside with 2 teaspoons of the rub. If you have the patience, you can put some of the rub under the skin.

4. Spoon the remaining 2 teaspoons of rub through the holes into the beer in the can. Don't worry if it foams up: This is normal. Insert the beer can into the body cavity of the chicken and spread out the legs to form a sort of tripod. Tuck the wing tips behind the chicken's back.

5. When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss all the wood chips on the coals. Stand the chicken up in the center of the hot grate, over the drip pan and away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook the chicken until the skin is a dark golden brown and very crisp and the meat is cooked through (about 180°F on an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the thigh), or 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If using a charcoal grill, you'll need to add 12 fresh coals per side after 1 hour.

6. Using tongs, carefully transfer the chicken in its upright position on the beer can to a platter and present it to your guests. Let rest 5 minutes, then carefully remove the chicken from the beer can. Take care not to spill the hot beer or otherwise burn yourself. (Normally I discard the beer, but some people like to save it for making barbecue sauce.) Quarter or carve the chicken and serve.

Chile Cheesecake

• 2 to 3 cups crushed tortilla chips (about 1 medium-size bag)
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 3 (8-ounce) packages 1/3 less fat cream cheese, at room temperature
• 3 medium eggs• 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
• ½ to ¾ cup sour cream• 1 cup pico de gallo, drained
• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

• Preheat oven to 325 F.


Directions
Coat a 9-inch springform pan with a vegetable coating spray.

Crush the chips using the metal blade of a food processor, or put them into a zip-top plastic bag and use the flat edge of a wooden spoon to crush them. Transfer to a bowl and toss with melted butter. Spread in the prepared springform pan. Bake at 325 F for 10 to 12 minutes. This can be done in advance.

Place cream cheese in a food processor fitted with the metal blade (or use an electric mixer), and process until smooth. Add eggs and pepper jack cheese and mix in completely. Mound in large spoonfuls over the chip crust and spread carefully to distribute evenly. Bake at 325 F for 25 minutes (20 minutes in a convection oven).

Remove and cool 6 to 8 minutes, then spread with sour cream and top with drained pico de gallo. Garnish with a mound of shredded cheddar, if desired.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

chicken stuffed with sausage

1 whole chicken
sausage of choice
dutch oven
metal skewers

season outside of chicken (i like creole seasoning)
stuff the cavity with sausage (i like kielbasa) (sounds dirty)
run 2 skewers through the side of the chicken (through the ribs)
set it in the dutch oven (or oven safe pan deep enough to keep it out of the juice) breast down .. add a cup or 2 of water to keep your juices from sticking to the pan (makes cleanup easier)

300 degree's for 3 hours ... the juice from the sausage drips into the breast (thats hawt)

flip it over (breast up) 325 degree's until the skin gets slightly brown and crispy (30-45 minutes maybe less)

moist tender and delicious ....
