Kittencals Garlic Onion Dip Recipes

KITTENCAL'S CROCK POT FRENCH DIP ROAST

Steps:

• Trim all visible fat from the roast then using a fork poke deep holes all over the meat.
• Place the beef roast in the crock pot.
• In a bowl combine the soy sauce, beef broth, black pepper, thyme, onion powder or onion flakes and fresh garlic or garlic powder; pour the mixture over the roast.
• Place the bay leaf into the crock pot.
• Add in enough water to almost cover the roast then mix to combine.
• Cover and cook on HIGH setting for 2 hours.
• Reduce the setting to LOW and continue to cook for about 5 hours more or until the meat is very tender.
• After cooking skim off the fat that has accumulated on the top.
• Remove the gravy and reserve.
• Discard the bay leaf.
• Shred the meat with a fork or slice thinly.
• Divide/pile the meat onto the rolls; serve as sandwiches, then serve the reserved broth for a dipping.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to about 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk and eggs.
• In a bowl mix together the coating mixture, then place into a shallow dish (a shallow dish makes for easier coating of the rings).
• Dip/coat the onion rings into the buttermilk mixture.
• Then coat generously into the dry coating mixture.
• Fry briefly in hot oil (turning once) until onion rings are lightly brown on both sides.
• Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S MEXI GROUND BEEF GUACAMOLE SEVEN-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Prepare a 13 x 9-inch glass dish (or use a similar serving dish).
• In a skillet brown the ground beef with onion, garlic and jalapeno peppers (if using) until browned; drain fat then add in the taco seasoning; cook stirring for 1 minute or a little more, season with salt and pepper to taste; set mixture aside to cool slightly.
• In a bowl mix together the sour cream with taco seasoning (start with 1 tablespoon adding in more to taste).
• Spread the refried beans in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Sprinkle about 2 cups Mexi-blend shredded cheese on top of the beans.
• Sprinkle the warm cooked ground beef mixture evenly on top of the cheese.
• Spread the sour cream over the ground beef.
• Dollop or spread the guacamole carefully over the sour cream.
• Pour the salsa over the guacamole and then spread out as best you can using a spoon.
• Sprinkle with remaining 2 cups shredded cheese (can use more).
• Top with sliced or chopped black olives.
• This can be served immediately or chill it for up to 24 hours (it is better served right away!).
• Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY RANCH DRESSING/DIP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, Worcestershire sauce, dill weed, parsley, garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt and minced green onion; whisk until well blended.
• Adjust the amount of salt and pepper if needed and add in some Tabasco sauce if desired.
• Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before using or overnight, the longer the better.

KITTENCAL'S ONION PATTIES/LATKES

Steps:

• Chop the onions finely (I chop them about 1/4-inch) then place into a bowl.
• In another large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, seasoning salt, cayenne, garlic powder (if using) and a small amount of black pepper; mix to combine well.
• Add in the milk and whisk until thoroughly combined (the batter will be thick!).
• Add in the chopped onions and green onions and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
• In a large non-stick frypan, heat a small amount of oil to medium-hot, adding in more oil as needed as the patties will absorb too much oil if you add in a large amount of oil at one time.
• Drop the batter from a tablespoon (no more than about a tablespoon!) into about 1/2-inch of hot oil (I slide the batter off using off another spoon).
• Flatten slightly with the spoon or spatula.
• Sprinkle with a little salt.
• Fry until crispy and brown on both sides.
• **NOTE** these tend to hold a bit of oil so drain well on paper towels.

KITTENCAL'S VEGETABLE PLATTER WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• For the dip; in a food processor combine all ingredients except Tabasco, buttermilk and veggies until smooth (adjusting the processing time for a smooth or semi-chunky texture).
• Add in buttermilk, start with 1 tablespoon adding in more until desired consistency is achieved.
• Add in Tabasco to taste and adjust ingredients to taste if desired.
• Place the dip in a round glass serving bowl; cover and refrigerate for minimum 3 hours.
• TO ASSEMBLE; place 1 to 2 lettuce leaves in the center of a extra large serving platter, then place the dip bowl onto the leaves.
• Arrange each veggie around the edges of an extra large round serving platter, place bread sticks in between each pile of veggies to separate.
