Week 9 - Cheddar Ranch Dip plus Crescent Sloppy Joes

Football season is just flying by! I can't believe November is here already! I found 2 recipes for this week I wanted to try. Both came out really yummy!!!

The first recipe was for cheddar ranch dip - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/cheddar-ranch-dip/ I always make the same dip, so it was fun to try something new!

Ingredients: 

• 1 (16 ounce) container sour creaam 
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix 
• 1 can bacon bits
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a medium bowl, thoroughly blend the sour cream and ranch-style dressing mix. 

 Mix in the bacon bits and Cheddar cheese.

Chill in the refrigerator 20 minutes or longer before serving.

Serve with chips or vegetables. It was very yummy! There was a lot left over so I"m going to try and use the rest on chicken for dinner tomorrow. I will report how that comes out next week!

I've been seeing advertisements online for recipes with crescent rolls. I decided to try the sloppy joe recipe with turkey meat instead of ground beef- http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/crescent-sloppy-joes/e5b67981-9c97-4395-af59-7ffea5ff4db7

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1 oz)
• 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
• 1 egg, beaten  

 Heat oven to 375. Cook beef, stirring frequently until thoroughly cooked. Stir in barbecue sauce and cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in cheese.

If using crescent rolls, unroll dough and separate into 4 rectangles. Place about 2 rounded tablespoons of the beef mixture on the center of each square.

Fold dough over the filling, forming triangles; press edges with a fork to seal. With a knife, cut small slits in the tops for the steam to escape. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with egg before baking.

Bake 11-18 minutes (until golden brown). Immediately remove from cookie sheet and serve warm.

These came out really delicious! I will definitely make again. These are good for entertaining company too!

Stay tuned for more recipes next week! ENJOY!
