Super Bowl Recipe

[DOITLOOKIT]

This is one of the entre that my wife prepares for our Super Bowl party. This is my favorite of all the fix'ins.

Burrito Pie

1. Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 (2 ounce) can black olives, sliced

1 (4 ounce) can diced green chili peppers

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers

1 (16 ounce) jar taco sauce

2 (16 ounce) cans refried beans

12 (8 inch) flour tortillas

9 ounces shredded Colby cheese

2. Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and saute for 5 more minutes. Drain any excess fat, if desired. Mix in the olives, green chile peppers, tomatoes with green chile peppers, taco sauce and refried beans. Stir mixture thoroughly, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 4 quart casserole dish. Cover with a layer of tortillas followed by more meat mixture, then a layer of cheese. Repeat tortilla, meat, cheese pattern until all the tortillas are used, topping off with a layer of meat mixture and cheese.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.

Yield: 16 servings

That sounds tasty!

I always make dip for tortilla chips ... if you aren't careful you won't get any (it disappears fast)

Ingredients:

1 bar of cream cheese

1 15oz can of black beans (or 2 depending on size of baking dish)

about 1/4 cup of raspberry-chipotle sauce (estimate) ***

Place the cream cheese in an oven-safe dish - I use a 1qt square corningware (about 5x5x1.5). If I use the 2-quart (5x5x3) then use 2 cans of black beans.

1. Pour some rasberry-sauce over the bottom of the dish and over the cream cheese - you do not need to cover it completely.

2. Rinse and drain the beans well. Place enough in the baking dish to cover the bottom about 1/2" deep. Pour more sauce over the beans. Place more beans in dish, pour more sauce. Repeat until all beans are in the dish and the cream cheese is covered.

Optional: sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top of the dip.

3. Bake the dish, covered with lid or aluminum foil, at 350 for 10 - 15 minutes: just long enough to melt the cream cheese.

Eat, and enjoy!

*** - Raspberry chipotle sauce (not marinade) can be found in many grocery stores. If you can not find it, either of the following will work:

1 - Mixture of raspberry jelly and jalapeño jelly

2 - Raspberry jelly mixed with pureed chipotle peppers (found canned with adobo in the international isle).

Hey Joby, showed this to the wife and we are going to add this to the menu. Thanks.

Both sound really good...

As for the dip... I really like making my own chips for the dip. Just buy the taco size corn tortilla shells - the "soft" ones, not the "hard" ones. Cut them into wedges by stacking them and cutting like a pie. I make six chips out of one shell. Deep fry them until crispy. Careful not to over cook or under cook. Drain and sprinkle salt on them.

BEST chip and dip... 'coz the chips are hot and fresh!!

As for dip, I've used Velveeta (1 lb) with a package of taco seasoning instead of Rotel. Pretty good dip that way.

But if you really want to spice up your Super Bowl party, get Leonard to make you a batch of SEAHORSES!!!! MMMMMMMM

[JobyKSU]

Jeez... reading OAF has made me want to go fishing before, even in the middle of the cold, cold, night. But this might be the first time I've come away drooling and hungry.

[DOITLOOKIT]

Hey Leonard, share the seahorse recipe. I'll try anything once. How-a-bout-it????

Has anyone tried the burrito pie using ground turkey instead of beef. Just curious. Sounds great but I am watching my cholesterol.

Thanks for your responses.

Doug,

I've used ground turkey instead of ground beef in a lot of recipes. As long as you are "spicing it up" a bit, the recipe comes out quite the same and sometimes even better. If you add some beef stock (use beef bullion cubes in water to make it) you will get the beef flavor you're after. However, the BEST alternative is to buy 8% ground beef and mix it half and half with turkey. Then you get some of the beef flavor in it for sure.

Thanks Terry,

Sounds great, and I should add that I use ground turkey breast to control cholesterol as regular groung turkey could have about anything in it including the

skin.

Thanks,

Doug
