What To Dip?

Big & Easy Po Boy Game Dip

 

     Right after college, I spent a year with my best friend volunteer teaching in the city of New Orleans.

     Besides the joy of teaching, I discovered many other good things in The Big Easy ~ the French Quarter, Preservation Hall, Pat's Hurricanes, jambalaya, Rax, beads, floats, and a thing called the "Po Boy".

     It was fitting that we took such a liking to this submarine sandwhich, especially since ~ as volunteers ~ we were pretty poor ourselves.  Whenever we could scrounge up the money, we took a walk to one of the little shops on the corner and each ordered one of these delicious Cajun traditions. (If we could get spicy curly fries with it, it was heaven.)

     These subs are served on French bread, and they usually consist of remoulade sauce, tomatoes, and lettuce, filled with anything from roast beef to fried shrimp to Louisiana hot sausage.

     So this week's Game Day Dip is just a little twist of this Southern classic. 

Here you go:

    Mustard ~ ¼ cup
    Mayo ~ 2 cups
     Pickle Juice or Vinegar ~ 1 tsp
     Hot Sauce ~ 1 tsp
    Garlic Clove ~ 1 large, minced & mashed
     Paprika ~ 1 tbsp
     Cajun Seasoning ~ 1 and ½ tsp
     Shrimp ~ Small, shelled, deveined, tails removed, fully cooked
     Lettuce ~ Iceberg, 1/4 head, shredded
     Tomato ~ One Medium, diced,
     French Bread/Baguettes
 
     Mix the mustard, juice or vinegar, hot sauce, paprika,  Cajun seasoning and garlic into the mayo, and blend well.  Voila your remoulade sauce. Add the shrimp, cover, and put in fridge for about an hour ~ or gametime.

     When ready to serve, stir in the lettuce and tomato and mix well.  Serve with "baguettes", first sliced in half longwise and then in finger-sized pieces across the roll.

     Now go enjoy Week 4 of the season.

Have a wonderful Game Day:)

Game Day Cheesesteak Dip

     I'm a girl who knows the best of both worlds. Just over an hour to my north is my log cabin nestled in the lush green mountains of Peynnsylvania. And an hour to my south is the City of Brotherly Love, the birthplace of Freedom, and the home of two cheesesteak giants - Pat's and Gino's.

     So this weekend's Game Dip honors the beautiful combination of steak, cheese, onion, sauce, and fresh bread that guests of Philadelphia have come to know and love. 
     
     Here you go:

     Frozen Sandwich Steaks ~ 6
     Onion ~ 1 Medium

     Cream Cheese ~ 16 ounces

     Pizza Sauce ~ 14 ounces

     Mozzarella Cheese ~ 2 cups, shredded

     Italian Bread ~ 2 loaves

     While oven is preheating at 350 degrees, brown the steaks in a large skillet on medium heat, breaking them into chipped pieces as you go. When done, drain them in a colander, and set aside.  

     Chop the onion, and cook in the skillet on low for 15 minutes.

Add the steak and the cream cheese and mix until cheese is melted.

     Spread the mixture on the bottom of a 9 by 13 glass pan, or a large square Corningware-style dish.  Pour the pizza sauce evenly over the mixture, and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

      As it bakes for 25 minutes (or until hot and bubbly), slice the loaves of bread and arrange pieces in a fitting serving tray.  I like to set out ketchup for guests to spread over bread before topping with the cheesesteak dip when ready to go. 

     

Have a wonderful Game Day:)

Super Simple Sausage Game Day Dip

    

   This week's Game Day Dip is so easy, it's called Super Simple Sausage Game Day Dip.  Here's all you need:

     Sausage, 1-pound
     Cream Cheese, 16 ounces
     Ro-tel Can, 10 ounces

     In a skillet, break up and brown the sausage on medium hea until done.  Drain the sausage, then return it to the skillet and mix in the Ro-tel. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and all the ingredients are blended well.

     I like to put the dip in a crock pot on warm, or, even better, one of the more appropriate warmers like the one above.
