There are multiple ways you can make Rotel Dip but this is our favorite and figured because it hasn’t been shared here yet I better document it so my kids have it when they need it someday. It’s great to bring to a potluck or family get together and is super simple! Let’s get to it!  Rotel Dip Ingredients  1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage (this is one of the rare times I buy store bought sausage) 2 lbs if doubled 2 blocks of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (this is the only brand we cook with, it just works best) 4 if doubled   2 cans of Rotel Original - undrained 3 if doubled Directions  Brown your sausage, drain off the grease. Add in your cream cheese (I chop it into smaller blocks). Add in your Rotel. Mix until everything is well incorporated. Put in a crockpot on low or warm and give it a good stir every so often. That’s it! Super simple! 

 Another goodie! So super simple! Seriously my 12 year old made them! This is great for a quick snack or a simple lunch! We used deli honey ham and it gave it a hint of sweetness!  Ham And Cheddar Crescent Roll-Ups  Ingredients 1 tube crescent roll dough 16 ham slices (deli) 8 cheddar cheese slices 3 tbsp butter, melted ¼ tsp garlic powder 1 tsp parsley (dried) Directions Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out the crescent dough pieces. Lay down two pieces of deli ham, leaving a margin of dough on both ends then place a piece of cheese on top of the ham. Beginning from the widest end, begin to roll up the crescent dough, encasing the ham and cheese on the inside. Then place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Mix together the melted butter, garlic powder and parsley. Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the crescent roll-ups. Bake for approximately 10 – 15 minutes or until the tops of the rollers are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes as to not bur...

Our New Years Eve party was a success.. Lots of food and some family and friends made it for a great night! Here are some of the things we ate.. Bacon Wrapped Smokies Ingredients 1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds 1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners 3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (165 degrees C). Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

It's tailgate time again, so I thought I would post my favorite tailgating appetizer. When we go to any potluck or tailgate, this is that I am required to bring. We call it "crack dip" because it is addictive like, well you get the idea... It combines 2 of my favorite things: sausage and cream cheese. Whats not to love? 1 lb. of sausage (You can use mild or hot. Whatever your preference ) 2 brick of cream cheese 1 can of Rotel tomatoes Brown the sausage. Drain very well (I also rinse it to get any extra grease) and return to skillet. Melt in cream cheese and Rotel . Put in a crockpot on lowest setting to keep warm. Enjoy with tortilla chips or Fritos ! YUM!

I took this recipe directly from Macaroni and Cheesecake because I think it looks SO yummy! I hope to some day be able to make these! "If you are having a lot of guests, I would make a double batch! The dough is perfectly soft and tastes just like the pretzels you buy at the mall! I served these with a honey mustard dipping sauce and it paired nicely. This is great for any party and I made these ahead of time and then put them back in the oven to warm them up just before my guests arrived. I had people asking me what these little bites were and raving over them for days after the party."
