Catt's Dill Dip

Catt's Dill Dip

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon Beau Monde

Whisk together all ingredients. Let sit overnight, so the flavors can marry.

Serve in a hollowed round loaf of pumpernickel bread, or in a green pepper and a red pepper, which have been hollowed out also. Can also serve with crackers and vegetables even though I have to tell you, the best thing to dip in this is bread cubes. I just take a loaf of french bread and cut it into bite sized cubes. Yummy!

Catt's 70's Style Crockpot Mushrooms

Can you just picture these in your avocado green crock pot?

Rinse 3 pounds mushrooms, and trim off just the very end of the stem (leave stem intact, just remove the rough part) and leaving mushroom whole. Drain well. In slow cooker or crock pot, put one stick of butter in the bottom, and add mushrooms - your top to the crockpot may even be askew, that's ok, they will cook down momentarily. Sprinkle generously with garlic salt. Cook on high 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Serve. Watch them disappear.

Catt's Spicy Swedish Meatballs

Blast from the past, we had these at every Christmas party, NYE and Superbowl Party...of course, with our Superbowl Party, we cheer for the clock. Is the Superbowl football?


Catt's Famous Appetizer Meatballs,

1 bottle Good Quality Ketchup (Heinz, Red Gold)
1 bottle Chili sauce or Cocktail Sauce
1 jar red currant jelly
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

In sauce pan on top of stove, whisk together first 4 ingredients. Add meatballs to slow cooker or crock pot and pour sauce over meatballs, cook on high 4 hours or on low up to 7 hours. Delicious, really good served with the 70's style slow cooker mushrooms.

You can make your own meatballs, or use the frozen kind. You'll need at least 40-50 meatballs. For the holidays, substitute a can of cranberry sauce or a small jar of grape jelly instead of the red currant jelly.
