Okay so this is basically the same recipe with only a few minor difference, one of the minor difference being that when i made this the other day i supidly picked up the first can of Rotel i saw and didn't notice it was for chili until i had poured it into the mixture and smelled the spices haha anyways this is a spin on Rotel cheese dip and fajitas two of my favorite mexican themed dishes. The prices listed out to the side of ingredients is based on Walmart prices (before tax) as of Feb. 5, 2011.
So i feel like this would be a great first recipe to put out since i did come up with it on my own -w- (very proud of myself yes) lol and also tomorrow being the big Super Bowl game i figured a bunch of people would be looking for some yummy party dishes and what's better than a tasty dip or chili :D So in the instructions ingredients will be color coded so that you can clearly tell which is for the dip and which is for the chili, if it's in both i'll put a purple star out next to the ingredient. Basically it's very simple to make whether you're in a dorm or apartment and it's a yummy dish for vegans, vegitarians, and the rest of us who'll eat anything lol (i've listed out where each food group stops)
Ingredients for Pepper Party Dip and Pepper Chili:
1lb of Lean Ground Beef* ($3.50)
1can of Rotel Original diced tomatos and green chilis --For the Chili recipe use Rotel Chili($1.68)
1can of Black Beans* ($0.68)
16oz of Velveta cheese (or w/e melty cheeese ya want) ($3.48)
3peppers of your choice (i've used orange, red, and yellow in the pics)* ($3.50)
1pack of Old El Paso taco seasoning ($0.82)
1small container of Lite Sour Cream* ($1.18)
Directions:
1. Of course step one is going to wash everything, your beef*, peppers*, dishes, hands, ect. we don't want germs speading or anything. After everything is all washed up start cooking your meat* first it's going to take the longest. After that preheat your oven to 425 degrees farenheight (dorm users you don't have to worry about this obviously we're going to cook yours in a mircrowave) and lets get our choping boards and peppers* on the ready. For those of you who've never cut a pepper* before here's a little tip, cut a square on the top of the pepper this way you can just pull the center of the chili out and all those pesky super hot seeds won't set your mouth on fire should they accidentally get mixed into the dish...well unless you want that then add those puppies away! haha oh yes and now would be a good time to go ahead and open our cans of black beans* and rotel(chili rotel for those making the chili version) and add them to our dish.
2. Mkay so now that our meat is cooking and our peppers* are chopped (anyone find the mickey mouse? i set it aside so it's kinda obvious hahaha) then we're ready to food process the heck outta these things. Now you don't have to chop these up any smaller if you don't want to, personally though i like a finely chopped pepper* so i popped mine into my mini food chopper aint it cute! anyways on with the cooking! So now with all our peppers* copped and added to our dish which now contains: black beans*, rotel(chili rotel for the chili), and 3 peppers* this is where you would stop if you're vegan, for the vegitarians and meat eaters you may now add half of the block of velveta cheese* (diced into somewhat small cubes) and the vegitarians are now done, and then for the rest of us add that tasty tasty meat*(for those making chili don't add the taco seasoning the combined spices don't mix too well) (which should be done cooking now) to which you sprinkle on the package of taco seasoning and a smidge of water so that the meat is covered with the seasoning-sauce thingy (w/e you want to call it) and now your dish should contain all your ingredients (except sour cream that's last) and it should look something like the picture below:
YUM! almost done now :D
3. Okay now that we have all that deliciousness ready in the contain which btw should hold about a quart and a half, 2 quarts container would be best there's a lot of stuff going into this and you don't want to be dumb like me and squish it all into a tiny 1qt dish like i did because then it might bubble over and make a big mess you have to clean up lol so now we're gonna pop a lid on it (or foil) and slide that deliciousness into our 425 degree oven for a total of 20minutes! For our dormers out there you should hopefully have put it into a microwave safe dish and you're going to have a bit more difficult time because microwaves varry so heat it up in incroments of 10minutes stirring inbetween so it doesn't explode...speaking of exploding i think it should go without saying but DON'T PUT TIN FOIL IN YOUR MICROWAVES! you will blow something up or set something on fire lol if you don't have a lid for your dish just use a paper towl or something microwave safe.
it looks icky i know but i swear it tastes amazing :D
Then we finish this off with a dolip of daisy lol and you're done! enjoy your delicious dip and or chili! Serve with chips or tortila shells or just eat with a spoon it's just that yummy haha
