Cowboy Caviar

Thank you Carolyn for this recipe! This is a delicious dip, my husband said he could eat it all day! When I first tasted it I never would have guessed it had Italian dressing in it, all of the flavors are so good together!

3 avocados, diced
3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 can shoepeg (white) corn, do not drain
1 can black eyed peas, drain and wash
1 can black beans, drain and wash
3 green onions, diced
Cilantro to taste
1/4 - 1/2 bottle fat free Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (fat free is better in this recipe)

Stir together all ingredients except dressing. Gradually add enough dressing to reach the desired consistency. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.

Meaty Nacho Dip

This dip is so good! Sometimes I just crave it so I'll make up a batch. It's cheesy, and meaty, and spicy (but not too spicy :)
I love making it on Super Bowl Sunday!

Nacho Dip

1 lb. Jimmy Dean regular sausage
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can Rotel (original)
1 large block Velveeta cheese

Brown sausage and drain.
Cut up velveeta into cubes and place in slow cooker. Pour sausage, soup, and rotel over top. Turn slow cooker on low heat and cook for 2-3 hours until cheese is melted and it's hot! Tortilla chips or soft pretzels go good with this.

Festive Pumpkin Dip

This is a great dip for veggies, crackers, or chips. I make it as often as I can every fall, everyone loves it! It has a surprisingly good flavor to it, the first time I tried it I was thinking "Pumpkin dip? This might be weird" but it didn't taste how I expected it to. Try it and I know you'll love it. It looks pretty too.

Festive Pumpkin Dip

12 oz. cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. canned pumpkin
1 Tbs. taco seasoning mix
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/3 c. green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/3 c. red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 c. sliced olives

Beat cream cheese, pumpkin, taco seasoning, and garlic powder together for 1 minute until smooth. Stir in veggies. Refrigerate until ready to serve, a couple of hours at least.
