Delectable Dip Mixes

Here are a few ideas you might like to try.

Dips

Try all the spices as a DIP including Bruschetta.
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
2-3 TBSP of any delectable dip mix
1 Tsp lemon juice
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for best results.

Any of the mixes can be used in stews or soups – just add 1 tbsp per liter of liquid.

Cheese Balls

 8 oz. Cream Cheese (290ml) Mix until blended. Chill 2 hours – shape
¾ cup Cheddar Cheese (190ml) and roll in finely chopped chives or
2 tbsp dip Mix (30) walnuts or pecans
½ tsp lemon juice
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
Warm the cheeseball (your favorite flavor) in the oven, and serve as a HOT DIP! (Just like the
restaurants)
Put the cheese ball mixture into a shallow ovenproof dish at 350 degrees until heated through. Approx. 10 minutes. Serve with nacho chips or crackers.

Use it for a pasta sauce!

While melting the butter, add 1 tbsp of dip mixture. Continue making the white sauce. When ready, pour over cooked pasta and VOILA! You have Perfect Pasta. As a bonus add seafood or your favorite meat or “a la dent” veggies!!
-For a great Tomato Sauce try the following:
1 Tbsp Butter (15ml). 1 cup stewed Tomatoes (250ml)
1 ½ Tbsp Dip Mix 2 tsp flour (10ml)
Prepare butter, dip mix, tomatoes, flour. Simmer for 15 min.

Some other great uses are:

– Add 2-3 TBSP of delectable mix to 1/8 cup of water for approx. 10 minutes to hydrate the spices if you are eating right away, Results are best if refrigerated for 2 hours and hydrated naturally.
– Blend some of your favorite mix with butter for a great French Bread – just add some Parmesan
Cheese or Shredded Cheddar for Cheese for Cheese Toast.
– If you like roast, take a frozen Roast and put it in a slow cooker, apply barbecue sauce on top and
use your favorite Dip Mix on top but don’t skimp. Suggestions, Garlic & Chives, French Onion, Heritage Ranch and A Touch of Curry are all great.
– Try to add some to potato salads, egg and tuna sandwiches for a herbed difference. Add 1 to 2 tsp. Dip Mix. Depending on preference.
– Use any of the dip mixes to season Chicken, Beef, or Fish dishes.
– Beef – Makes delectable meatballs – use 1 to 1 ½ tbsp per pound, especially great in meatloaf.
– Fish – Mix a batch of dill Dip-alicious with a yogurt base for a great tartar sauce with a new twist.
– Beef, Chicken or Fish – Add Mexican Ole for a twist on taco night.
– Rice dishes with a zing, calls for about 1 tbsp of mix to be added in the rice water. Once rice is done add 1 – tbsp of butter or equivalent. (The Curry or Mexican Ole add some excitement!)
– Garlic & Chives dip makes a great topping for baked potatoes or Perogies. Another excellent use for Garlic & Chives – thin down dip mix with milk and use a creamy garlic dressing for Caesar Salad. Just add parmesan Cheese to taste.
– Any dip should keep 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator (Check your date on the sour cream). Use as a dip or reduce with milk to make a creamy salad dressing.
– For super Scalloped Potatoes just sprinkle in 1-2 tbsp of any mix while layering the potatoes and onions. Try the dip mix with sour cream or yogurt for topping on mashed potatoes.
– Try Garlic & Chives with stir fried vegetables. It takes the thinking out of what spices to use.

Just let your imagination be your guide on many new ideas you can try.
