A Couple of Recipes to Share!
Hot Taco Dip
2 Lbs Hamburg
1 c. Sour Cream
1 Jar Salsa (hot, medium, or mild)
1 Pkg. Taco or Fajita Seasoning
Shredded Cheese of your choice
Brown hamburg, drain. Mix with Sour Cream, Seasonings and Salsa. Put in 9x13 pan. Top with Shredded Cheese. Heat in 350 oven until cheese melts and everything is hot. Can be made ahead and just heated when ready to use.
Frozen Grape Granita
4 c. seedless red grapes
1 c. Pomergranate Juice (I found this in the fruit section of Hannaford...POM brand)
2 TBLS. Lime Juice
1/4 c. Superfine Sugar
Top with Vanilla Yogurt or Whipped Cream or enjoy plain
Place grapes in a 9x13 pan- freeze for 2 hours.
In a food processor, blend grapes, pom juice, lime juice, and sugar until fairly smooth. Return mixture to pan and freeze again for about 1 hour. stir with fork bringing firmer edges to the center and freeze again for 30 mins. When it is firm enough to serve (sorbet or sherbert texture) scoop into custard cups or margarita glasses. Garnish to your liking. ENJOY!
For a variation, use 1/2 green grapes and 1/2 red grapes for a sweeter dessert. Divide juices and sugar amoung the two grapes- freeze seperately in 8x8 pan. You can also use all green grapes for an even more interesting variation.
I hope you all enjoy these recipes. They are a couple of my favorites.
