Taking care of those who take care of us!

Sunday night, I got one of our housemates to take me up to the ER where my Pirate and our othr housemate work in the ER.

We took one "Box-o-Joe" from Dunkin Donuts, and I made two tins of pizza dip , and two tins of Jalapeno Popper dip.

It sounds like both dips were a hit, and even though there were two boxes/packs of water crackers, and a large size bag of scoopable chips, they ran out of chips and crackers before the dips were gone, but it didn't stop them from being consumed!

Since I will probably be making these again, I wanted to post them here, so I can get to the recipes easy.

A layered, hot cheesy dip with all of the great pizza flavours including pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, olives and green peppers.

1. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream mayonnaise, mozzarella and parmigiano reggiano and spread it across the bottom of a pie plate.
2. Spread the pizza sauce on top and sprinkle on the cheese, pepperoni, green pepper and olives.
3. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the cheese has melted, bubbling and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Jalapeno Popper Dip

(makes 4 snacks sized servings)


Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano
1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapenos (pickled)
2 jalapeno peppers (chopped, optional)
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano

Directions:
1. Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, parmigiano reggiano and jalapenos in a bowl and pour into a baking dish.
2. Mix the panko bread crumbs and parmigiano reggiano and sprinkle over the dip.
3. Bake in a 375F oven until bubbling on the sides and golden brown on top, about 10-20 minutes.

 

I simply doubled the recipes and it made 4 regular tins (the ones that are slightly deeper than a pie tin, and have straighter sides) or would be good in two of the deeper straight side tins.
