Now about the mustard. Another Larry no-no, LOL. McDonald's double cheese, NO mustard. Actually, I have a recipe for swiss onion soup that calls for some powdered mustard, and I love it. I'll post the recipe later, it's time consuming, but worth it. For those who are low carb it would be good with a variety of chips and crackers. Might be better than or go with french onion or ranch dips. The bread can be optional, the dip is kind of fondue like with skewers, forks or picks.

hoorta Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 For Cal & anyone else....Time consuming, but worth it- never had anyone yet say they didn't care for it. SWISS ONION SOUP Serves 4 3 cups thinly diced onions 1 garlic clove, minced 3\4 t dry mustard (Coleman's) 1-1\2 t salt 5 T. Unsalted butter (salted is OK) 2 cups chicken stock 3 T flour 1-1\2 cups milk 1\2 t bottled horseradish 1 T Dry Sherry 1-1\2 cups grated gruyere ≈ 6 oz 1\2t pepper 1\2 t Soy Sauce 3 drops Tabasco 1\4 t Worcestershire _______________________________________________________ Cook onion & garlic in 2 T butter with salt and mustard over moderate heat 10-12 minutes or until onion is soft Add stock, and simmer covered for 20 minutes While simmering..... In a saucepan melt 3 T butter, add flour & cook for 3 minutes Remove from heat, add milk and simmer for 7 minutes while stirring Add horseradish, sherry, & gruyere- combine well until cheese is melted Combine with onion mixture Stir in pepper, soy, Tabasco, Worcestershire & simmer 10 minutes _____________________________________________________ The recipe will upscale in quantity nicely. I've played with the proportions and amount of seasonings over the years, but this is the original. Only warnings- don't use cheap domestic gruyere. Cal, you can probably omit the sherry. But as us winos say- if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it. I always have a bottle of Lustau Oloroso Don Nuño sherry (about $30) lying around, a lesser one would do- but "cooking sherry" is an abomination.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 I was just looking over the 35 dip recipes link they are the basic good dips but one caught my eye. We often get Spinach Artichoke Dip when we order out but here's a quick and easy recipe for making it at home and hot. https://www.mrfood.com/Appetizers/32-Unbelievably-Good-Dip-Recipes 35 Unbelievably Good Dip Recipes Find the perfect homemade dip recipes for your upcoming potlucks or parties Makes about 3 cups dip COOK TIME 30 Min If you like the Spinach Artichoke Dip popular at all the chain restaurants, you're gonna love our homemade version. It's easy, and there's no substitute for a fresh, hot-from-the-oven spinach dip. See for yourself! What You'll Need 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened (see Notes) 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped What to do Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 1-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, ground red pepper, and garlic powder; beat until well blended. Stir in artichokes and spoon into prepared casserole dish. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through and the edges are golden. Serve immediately. Notes We like to serve this Spinach Artichoke Dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or thin slices of French bread for dipping. Looking to lighten this dip up? No problem! Just use reduced-fat cream cheese and only 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Be sure to serve it with baked tortilla chips, too!

Here's a hint for cheese lovers, if you ever shop at BJ's (the only place I've seen it). They have bags of individually vacuum wrapped planks of fantastic sharp cheddar...it is called "Seriously Sharp" by Cabot. Not only is it a favorite of mine, but it's a favorite at my parties, in my snack cooler that I carry for the patients I transport, tailgates, fishing, etc. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
