I need a KILLER dip recipe

[Mellifluous]

We are having a dip contest at work.

Here is the e-mail from the boss man outlining the rules...

so, anyone got a good one for me? I will give you full credit for the recipe.

In honor of the season and our first annual competition, here are some quick ground rules for Friday.

1. Dips only, no fruit or vegetables or any of that stuff.
2. The grand champion "bowl" will be awarded for the individual dip that demonstrated the highest calorie count, most fat grams, and overall biggest lack of respect for health. I am the judge and jury here so don't worry, I know my stuff.
3. Any store bought dips must be identified as such and will receive an automatic 5-10 point reduction up front
4 Any dips containing yeast, soy products, or that require fresh vegetable sticks for said dipping will be automatically disqualified from grand champion consideration
5 A "best shot" award will also be given out to the individual who went out on a limb with the creativity thing - I am also the judge and jury on this one.
6. Happy cooking!

This is one I want to try

Bloody Mary Dip

1 jar (14 ounces) tomato pasta sauce (any variety)
1/3 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives
1/4 cup vodka
2 tablespoons tomato paste

2. Cover and cook on Low hear setting 2 to 3 hours.
3. Serve with shrimp for dipping. Dip will hold on Low heart setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.

Tip

Give this dip a change of taste with a flavored past sauce such as sun-dred tomato or garlic and onion.

In addition to shrimp, try diving into this dip with celery sticks or dill pickle spears.

Add a touch of green color by sprinkling the dip with chopped fresh parsley, green onions or green olives just before serving.

I got more if this is not enough.

Can't beat advocados for fattening!

2-3 Advocados. Peel, de-pit and mash.
2 Tomatoes. Dice.
3-5 teaspoons Lemon Juice.
1/4 cup Onion. Finely chopped.
Cilantro. Clip off the leafy ends, about 1/3 cup. *I don't like cilantro and NEVER include it in my salsa dip.
Small can of chile peppers. Add to taste.
Salt. To taste.

Serve with Tortilla chips and beer.
Can have small bowls of shredded cheese or sour cream to add to individual plates of dip.

[TrueStepPaso]

Heidi, that sounds great......almost as good as my "slave all day in the kitchen" recipe. :lol:

Oh Mel!!! Some of the other girls have some suggestions also. Some of them look realy good too.

[motorgypsy]

One of the neatest dishes I ever had was served in half a coconut and coconut is VERY fatterning

OK - a list of extremely fattening things

nuts - particularly walnuts and pecans
coconut
olives
eggs
avocado
butter
mayonnaise
heavy cream
ice cream
bacon
really high quality beef
sausage
triple cream cheese like some bri's
ALCOHOL - you can float the dip in a puddle of something really good like tequila or gin could be interesting. Bourbon can be good also but I use less of it because it's pretty intense in foods.


to season the dip/s (you could do a pinwheel of several)
lemon juice
garlic
onion and garlic - sauteed of course
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper and hot green peppers
herbs - parsley, cilantro, dill etc. but I'd just use them for color and flavor, not whole
mustard
fruit
tomato
mushroom
spices
coffee
chocolate


keep these really small so you can't see them in pieces but can taste them and see color from them

nuts can be made into nut butter or used for texture
sausage can be crumbled or made into tiny meat balls
the beef can be really really thin sliced and used to decorate the top
the tomato can be pureed and used to color the cream
crisp bacon can be put on top for fancy presentation as well as crumbled in the dip
the avacado can be mixed with the hot peppers, garlic and lemon and whipped into the heavy cream
you can make a tepanade sp? out of the olives using olive oil and the food processor

There's no law that says dips have to be spicy - they could be sweet also - fruit, chocolate, cream, a liquor, and so on. It's also interesting to combine hot peppers with sweet fruits as a sauce with something creamy - even whipped ice cream as a dip for shortbread cookies which are soooo fattening and good!

A really wild one

whipped vanilla ice cream
mango reduction with butter, brown sugar, lemon, cayenne pepper and brandy and just a hint of salt
topped with a bit of whipped cream with candied walnuts
drizzled with really dark chocolate and served floating in brandy
dip with shortbread
Have fun!!! This had made me soooo hungry!!

[CarolU]

I don't know, Starr's recipies looked like they'd clog some arteries for sure. My heart skipped a few beats just reading them. ;-)

I don't have any killer dip recipes. My idea of hor d vors is 'the EASIER the BETTER'

1 block of cream cheese, room temp
Cover with Chili Sauce (the Mexican kind) and serve with Tortilla chips

or

1 block of cream cheese, room temp
Cover with mixture of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce and Canned Crab meat. Serve with crackers.

or

Wrap dates with 1/2 strip bacon, secure with toothpick, broil, turning as needed until bacon is done.

[AliceG]

Oh, CarolU, you poor thing.....canned crab meat? Cover with mixture of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce and Canned Crab meat

All summer long, I b*tch moan and complain about spending so much time picking crab meat from the crabs we catch from our backyard pier, but after reading that, maybe I won't complain as much anymore!

[CarolU]

I agree Alice. When I go to the coast (any of them!) that's all I want to eat is fresh seafood. I was born in Maine and teethed on North Atlantic lobster - which will always remain my very favorite. We do get fresh-frozen crab and Rock Lobster tails here, but it's really NOT the same.

[AliceG]

Oh yeah on the lobster. We had it FRIED in Maine once. I couldn't believe how wonderful it was - in a little shack on the side of a road.

[ASB.Immortality]

Hey Mel!!!! This one came from Stuart at work. He said it is hugely fattening.

It a pan 3'' deep pan, lightly cover the bottom with olive oil then begin layering.

1st layer: refried beans
2nd layer: cooked ground pork
3rd layer: cheddar cheese
then bake long enough to melt the cheese good. Then let cool.
4th layer: sour cream with salt & pepper on top
5th layer: cooked chorizo (mexican sausage - this highly fattening)
6th layer: lightly cover with salsa
7th layer: lettuce
8th layer: mexican cheese or fiesta cheese
lightly cover with jalapenos and real bacon bits. You can put black olives and tomates on it if you wish.

[Mellifluous]

Ok - I am going to run them all by Kevin and let him pick 3 to use.

I may only need 2 as I am considering making my Boston Beanery Crab Dip. My only problem is a lack of good fresh crab meat!

[ASB.Immortality]

I don't know if this counts as a dip but here is Aunt Ann's Cheeseball recipe. Those things are sooo dang good. i couldn't stop eating it. LOL!!


2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 cups chopped pecans, toasted and divided
Combine first 5 ingredients; stir in 1 cup pecans.
Cover and chill until firm. S

hape mixture into 2 BALLS!!!!!!!!!!! roll in remaining 1 cup pecans. Enjoy, Sweetie Luff ya, Aunt Ann

[ASB.Immortality]

SOOOO... what's the verdict? Have you decided which one you are going to do yet?? Huh, huh, huh, tell us, tell us, tell us!!!

[Terry Wallace]

To make it "Killer"..just ad some arsenic or anti-freeze, depending on quick or slow "kill".............. :lol:

[Mellifluous]

I blew it.

The contest was today. I did not get a chance to make any dips since I spent last night parading around Athens.

I plan to make some dips next week for the crew here at work.
