Tim, I'm making crack dip at Skips when you come down.

I'm gonna make my ribs while I'm down there.  Recipe will be up soon.

[timot_one]

Define "Crack dip"?

Crack Dip defined!!

JT's Crackdip:
1 full 16oz bar of Velveeta cheese
1 Full 16oz can of Hormel Chilli (no beans) or home made seasoned ground sirloin
1 Full jar Tostitos or sam's club brand Hot salsa
1tsp Your favorite taco meat seasoning mix (only if using ground beef)
1tsp "Adobo" seasoning mix (only if using ground beef)

Cut the cheese bar up into 1" thick bars, and spread them evenly in a crock pot set to 200F. While the cheese starts to melt, open the chilli can (or cook up the ground beef with medium heat and season as you cook). Stir cheese around to make sure it is properly melted all around. You may have to spike the heat to get the cheese initially melted but quickly make sure to go back down to simmer heat once it's fully melted to avoid burning it. Dump the chilli or ground beef and salsa into the crock pot and throughly mix until all ingredients have been fully blended together. Grab your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy!!!

Only mods have access to the old forum.  It will be useful to get stuff over here since the new g7a format is ass backwards.  Let's keep it on topic and keep the recipes coming.

My Lasagna Recipe



Start with the following in a pot:
1 pound (450 g) of sweet Italian sausage
1 pound (450 g) of ground beef
1/2 cup (120 mL) of chopped onions
2 cloves of garlic chopped
The flavor of the Italian sausage varies from brand to brand. You may need to try a different brand the first couple of times you cook this dish. Find the flavor you like the best.



Brown the ground beef, Italian sausage, onions and garlic in a pot until they start to look cooked. It takes about 6 to 9 minutes to brown the meat. I like to use a Dutch oven to cook this portion of the recipe. I use a medium low temperature to brown the meat. It is optional to remove the grease from the meat once it is finished browning, your choice.



Add the following:
1 (28 ounce) (784 g) can of crushed tomatoes
2 (8 ounce) (230 g) cans of tomato sauce
2 (6 ounce) (168 g) cans of tomato paste
1/2 (120 mL) cup of water
Gently stir this into the cooking meat.



Add the following:
2 tablespoons (30 mL) white sugar
1 teaspoon (5 mL) fennel seed
2 teaspoons (10 mL) fresh Basil leaves chopped
2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh Italian parsley chopped
1 teaspoon (5 mL) salt
1 teaspoon (5 mL) Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) ground pepper
Gently stir these seasoning into the sauce.



Cover the pot and let the meat sauce simmer. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes This is the ideal simmer time but not mandatory. If you don’t have time it will still be great after one hour of simmering.
I will sometimes make this sauce and refrigerate it after it finishes simmering. I will use the meat sauce the next day to put the rest of this recipe together. For some reason Italian meat sauce taste even better the next day. But that’s up to you.



Soak 12 lasagna noodles.
The lasagna noodles need to be soaked in hot tap water for 15 minutes.
While the noodles are soaking you can make the cheese filling.



Put the following in a mixing bowl:
23 ounces (644 g) of ricotta cheese.
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) fresh grated nutmeg
Grate fresh nutmeg over the Ricotta cheese.



Add the following:
1 egg
2 tablespoons (30 mL) fresh Italian parsley chopped
Mix these ingredients together with a spoon



Now we start building the lasagna layers.
Use a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Spread 2 Cups (480 mL) of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan.



Remove your lasagna noodles out of the water bath. Shake water off wet noodles.
Lay 6 noodles across the layer of sauce.



Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the layer of noodles.



Spread 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella layer



Spread 2 cups (480 mL) of meat sauce over the cheese layer
Lay down the next layer of noodles
Spread the remaining ricotta mixture over noodles
Spread the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses saving some cheese for the top of the lasagna
Put the last layer of meat sauce on the cheeses
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
It should look similar to the picture above.

Looks like a damn good recipe Piero, but...

Brown the ground beef, Italian sausage, onions and garlic in a pot until they start to look.

I think there's a word missing.

It should look similar to the picture above.

You know I had to give you shit.
