2010 is wrapping up. 2011 is moving in quickly. At our house we are still eating left overs so nothing new in the way of food.
However, I’m on a quest to find NYE traditions and traditional ‘menus’ for a HAPPPY new year.
Share your traditions, your menu and your recipes! But above all have a Safe NYE and may the year bring all your wishes, dreams and prayer to fruition.
3 large cans refried beans (tall ones, not family size)
ReplyDelete2 bricks cream cheese
1 pound medium cheddar, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 small jar Pace Picante Sauce(I use mild so everyone is happy)
1/2 bottle taco bell mild sauce
In a large pot or slow cooker, layer 2 cans of beans, cream cheese, cheddar, onion, Pace, and sauce. Top with Last can of beans, spread to seal in. Cook low-medium, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn. Done when it's all finally melted together in it's nommy goodness. Serve with tortilla chips or just tortillas.
I do this when we have a big get-together and people are drinking. Not only is it addictive, it seems to keep everyone from getting *too* drunk!
This sounds delicious!!! Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteIf you are planning to celebrate the New Year in the Southeast, it is most likely that you will be offered black-eyed peas in some form, either just after midnight or on New Year's Day. From grand gala gourmet dinners to small casual gatherings with friends and family, these flavorful legumes are traditionally, according to Southern folklore, the first food to be eaten on New Year's Day for luck and prosperity throughout the year ahead.
