fireunDishes to pass for the New Years shindig I am attending this evening. My mother has been making these for as long as I can remember, and I have been stealing portions for as long :)
Shrimp Dip
8oz cream cheese
Horseradish
1 can shrimp (I use the Bumblebee medium deveined)
Ketchup
lemon juice
Mix cream cheese and shrimp in a blender/food processor. Add 2 tablespoons horseradish and a few squirts of lemon juice. Blend.
Spread on a plate. Make a bit of a mound.
You can either use store bought cocktail sauce to top, or mix your own with ketchup and horseradish. I like mixing my own as I can control how much or little spice there is.
Chill until serving. Serve with crackers.
If you are sharing with a group, double the recipe.
Pizza Bread
Traditionally this includes mozz cheese, black olives, and pepperoni as a filling. Feel free to alter it with whatever strikes your fancy. There is no hard amount for how much filling is used apart from the cheese.
Basic recipe-
frozen white bread dough (loaves are in the frozen food section of the grocery)
1 1/2 pound mozz cheese
olive oil
whichever fixins you decide on.
Makes two loaves
Preheat oven to 400.
Pull bread dough thin, put half the cheese and fixins in the center. Pull sides together and seal by pressing the dough together firmly. Brush with olive oil, place on a tin foil covered cookie sheet (oil the tinfoil lightly to prevent sticking) sealed side down. Bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve. You want the roll long and skinny when prepping, not short and fat. Repeat for second loaf.
Mine this evening will be a vegetable roll, with onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. The other is going to have jalapeno rolled into the bread itself, and filled with venison sausage (sausage and the like must be cooked and diced ahead of time).
Both recipes are damn easy and are fun to snack on. Enjoy!
