It's barely bearable in salsa/picante sauces. I'll stick with the Rotel/Velveeta dip for corn chips. Leave it hot in a small crock pot and you are good to go........ Or better yet, mom's clam dip which is fabulous on potato chips and snack crackers. 1 10 oz. carton "real" sour cream 1 medium can chopped baby clams 1 tsp. fresh minced parsely 1 tsp. onion powder 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 1 tsp. dried dill weed Dump all ingredients into a bowl and mix well with a fork. Serve with potato chips and wheat thins. Also makes a decent dip for celery sticks and other veggies. You can substitute canned shrimp for canned clams for a nice shrimp dip. Add about 1/2 the liquid from the cans, or more for a "wetter" dip depending on your preference. My favorite Sunday Snack (when I'm not dieting anyway) is the following: Bean Nachos: 1 can ranch style pinto beans 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese 1 tsp. chile powder Place beans into a blender and blend until smooth. Mix shredded cheese in with a fork and add chile powder. Dump onto a microwave save dish, (pyrex pie plates are ideal), top with corn chips and shredded chedder/jack cheese. Nuke until all the cheese is melted then top lightly with mild or medium Pace chunky picante sauce and sour cream. Serve some guacamole' on the side if desired. The bean and cheese by itself, heated gently, also makes a wonderful hot bean dip. -- K. |

Instead, start with the same quantity of Underwood Deviled Ham, halve the quantities of worcestershire, bell pepper, celery, eliminate the salsa and cilantro, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Be sure to chop the veggies very fine. -aem |

This sounds very good, but can you suggest a substitute for the dill? I'm sorry to say, I can't tolerate dill for some reason -- it gives me the shivers when I try to eat it.

Yeah, but I like the way making the nachos WITH the rest in the nuke softens them slightly, and that is really pretty good... Yours is simpler tho' <G> There is also a totally different flavor with the ranch style beans than with the refrieds. -- K. Sprout the Mung Bean to reply... There is no need to change the world.

The turkey spam that dad has been buying lately actually is not too bad. The texture is much better and it's ok fried too, or grilled in the foreman. I don't eat much of it but dad likes to make grilled spam and cheese sandwiches with it in the grill. > > > I'll also pass on the cilantro.

You can just leave it out, or try some parsley leaf. :-) Dill goes well with seafood but it's not necessary if you don't care for it. Some salt free lemon pepper can add a little "zest" to it. > > <snip> -- K. Sprout the Mung Bean to reply... There is no need to change the world.

The onions add a little color to it, also. > I've never used Chipped beef! How salty is it? I don't think it's very salty, but I've never eaten it other than in this recipe. Also, I googled for some other recipes, and I think I advised too much milk. It's easy enough for most people to add more milk if it is too thick, but most people won't have more cream cheese to add if it turns out too thin. -- Dan Abel Sonoma State University AIS |

Goodies You's gotta use Velveeta cheese in lieu of cream cheese in the "authentic recepie" The Spam must be gently sautéed to the 'nut brown' stage..then macerated with the herbs,spices,condiments,veggies of regional choice. Substituting "Deviled" Ham is not acceptable in the South. Cucumber, mayonnaise finger sandwiches for the 'afternoon tea'. Bless the 'blue haired little fading Scarlet O'Hara's in their lavender print dresses'. Argue with them... if you dare! Enough of this for now. I read and learn from you all. I have lurked for years,and am just now posting. I firmly believe the cooking and the ethos of the country/region is important. I post serious stuff at times, take it and understand the underlying humor. Miss Ella Von Claws/Wits, my intrepid Shop Cat just informed me that she is incensed with your disparaging remark about her,feminine,feline sensibilities. Hubert |

The recipe is on the velveeta box. On a variation I do is to substitute the canned chili with about a pound of left-over taco-seasoned meat.
