Need a cheap dip to take somewhere? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Geesh, this stuff sounds AWFUL but oh so yummy! I hate black-eyed peas too but you cant taste'em in this dip. My nieces even love it.

Its very cheap to make and makes a HUGE serving!!!

2 cans drained black eye peas
1 can drained short peg corn
1 can drained rotel
6 whole chopped green onions
1 bell pepper chopped
1 16oz Italian dressing (use Fat Free for fat free dip)

Add everything in a bowl and mix it. Put it in the fridge before serving - its better when cold.

You can serve with crackers, fritos, or regular ole chips.

Here is a great and very easy cracker spread.

1 brick of Neufatchel cheese (like cream cheese, lower in fat and softer)
Lightly toasted sesame seeds
Soy sauce (light or regular)

Pat the outside of the cheese brick with the sesame seeds. Place in a small plastic container with a lid (I use one about the size of the cheese). Pour soy sauce over the top of the cheese, filling container with soy about 1/3 full. Cover and let sit overnight in the fridge. I serve with Wheat Thins or other firm snack cracker, just go for it like a dip. It sounds strange but it is really good.

I know I know... and it looks even worse!!!! BUT seriously.... YOU have to try it!!!! Its soooooooooooooo good!!!!

MyLadies · 12-27-2008, 08:07 PM

Mmm! it actually does not sound bad. But don't us Texans always need our Black-Eyes around New Years for luck!!!?! Of course we do. Man, your post reminds me... I need to buy me some now.

chattiesmom · 12-28-2008, 06:43 AM

Twalla, THANKYOU!!!!! I absolutely love that stuff. I make a batch every once in a while and eat it with crackers for a low fat high fiber lunch or snack. Yummy!!!!! Sometimes I add in black beans or kidney beans as well.

I've never had the cream cheese recipe, I'll have to give it a whirl!

bettyeanne · 12-28-2008, 06:56 AM

That sounds wonderful!! I can eat Blackeye peas straight from the can! [yes, I am weird!] My only problem ... my Patrick can't have anything with seeds!! I once almost pried his mouth open in a restaurant because he grabbed a pecan off my salad and popped it in his mouth before I could stop him!

I try to make variations on lots of recipes using de-seeded tomatoes, jalapinos, etc. ... ever tried de-seeding a cucumber?!?

Any suggestions??

I'm making this dip, if I have to do it when he's not home!!

romeos mommy · 12-28-2008, 07:44 AM

do u serve w/tortilla chips or crackers?

Nikki+2 · 12-28-2008, 12:23 PM

Mmm, I love black eyed peas so I will definitely give this a try. We do them on new years day for luck down here in FL too.

Also greens for wealth.

dogears · 12-28-2008, 12:47 PM

Here is a sweet dip thats great with plain ruffled potato chips:

1 can crushed pineapple in heavy syrup
Philidelphia cream cheese w/ or w/o the pineapple

Mix it all together and dip away. I bet you will eat half the bowl before you know it.

Hmm now what has seeds in the recipe? The bell pepper does but that can be deseeded. I dont think that the rotel does. And yuh that is kinda weird... eatin from the can... ewww!!! LOL OH wait.... the Italian dressing, does that have seeds? I never thought about it. THat kinda sucks. Make it when he isnt home OR just tell him he is not allowed to eat it.

Either one... I like it better w/chips. Fritos even --very classy

Ok here is another dip....

Cream Cheese with a Raspberry Chipotle Sauce poured over it. You can buy the sauce in a jar at Sams and DAYUM, its good!

my2boyz · 12-29-2008, 06:49 AM

Sorry ladies...I have to laugh...from the title of this thread I thought it was going to be another blonde joke!

I will try the dip though.....

maxmom · 12-29-2008, 07:04 AM

Both of these recipes sound good, since we are having new years eve in our house I'll try them both, now, sorry if this sounds stupid, but I have no idea what rotel is, can anyone tell me so I can go get it.
