Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large Spanish onion
1 Vidalia onion, finely chopped
3 cipollini onions, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
3 scallions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped (about 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the thyme, shallots, garlic and all the varieties of onions. Saute, stirring constantly. (Onions absorb oil quickly, so add more if necessary.) Continue to cook until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, add the yogurt and cream cheese and stir together. Add in the onions, scallions and chives. Stir well to combine.

KITTENCAL'S CROCK POT FRENCH DIP ROAST

Kittencal's Crock Pot French Dip Roast image

Use only low sodium soy sauce and beef broth for this, my family likes spicy so I add in some crushed chili flakes also, I have left the onion powder or onion flakes as optional if you are an onion-lover then you might want to include it --- any leftover beef gravy may be frozen to use later for gravies or soup bases

1 (4 lb) rump roast (about 4 pounds)
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans low sodium beef broth
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 large bay leaf
water (as much as needed to cover)
10 Italian rolls, sliced (or use French rolls)

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 ONION AND GARLIC HAMBURGERS/BURGERS

Kittencal's Onion and Garlic Hamburgers/Burgers image

These and of coarse any burger is at it's best made on an outdoor grill, these are delicious oven-broiled, pan fryed or on an indoor grill such as a George Foreman grill --- if you are a garlic-lover you will love these and you may adjust the garlic to taste --- plan ahead the patties need a minimum of 6 hours or 24 hours chilling time to blend flavors together --- I have left the cayenne pepper as optional my family likes spicy so I always add it in if you like some heat then include it into the mixture, you may also add in 1 slightly beaten egg if desired.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 -4 garlic cloves, finely chopped (or minced)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning (you may omit and use 2 teaspoons seasoned salt though the steak seasoning is better to use)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) (optional)
fine breadcrumbs (optional and use only a small amount if needed to hold the mixture together, optional) (optional) or crushed cracker crumb (use only a small amount if needed to hold the mixture together) (optional)

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together using clean hands adding in a small amount of breadcrumbs or crushed cracker crumbs ONLY if needed to hold the mixture together.
Shape into six patties.
Place the patties onto a large plate; cover and refrigerate for 6-24 or more hours.
Before cooking the patties make an indent using your finger into the middle of each patty (this will reduce any shrinkage and prevent the patties from puffing up like a meatball when cooking).
Grill, broil or fry until completely cooked through.

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY RANCH DRESSING/DIP

Kittencal's Creamy Ranch Dressing/Dip image

A creamy dressing with the perfect blend of spices, adjust the amount of dill to suit taste I advise not to use more than 2 teaspoon fresh garlic or it will overpower the dressing, all other amounts may be adjusted to suit taste --- don't even think about serving this dressing until after it's chilled for at least 4 or more hours and the longer the better --- for a lower fat option use low-fat mayonnaise, sour cream and buttermilk --- for Ranch Peppercorn dressing add in 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper or to taste, and for Parmesan ranch dressing add in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or to taste --- this makes a fantastic veggie dip!
