Dip ideas for a BBQ
FMIL put me in charge of appetizers for today's BBQ. In addition to bruschetta and a few other things, I'm making that 7-layer taco dip (no meat, so it's not exactly heart attack dip), and I'm probably just going to do the usual onion and veggie soup mixes, but that's SO boring.
Anyone have anything fun?
Thanks

Re: Dip ideas for a BBQ
My mother gave me an avocado dip that is really good. Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but I figured I would post it anyway.
Small recipe (if you want you can double)
Bottom - 1 can refried beans
Middle - 3 very ripe mashed avocados and a little lemon juice
Top - Blend together ½ cup mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream 1 envelope Seasoned Taco Mix 2 scallions Top with: 2 or 3 diced tomatoes Black olives – sliced Shredded cheddar cheese

Re: Dip ideas for a BBQ
My aunt made an artichoke dip once that was sooo good. I don't know the recipe but maybe if you search online you can find it. It was made with cream cheese and canned artichoke hearts, and she had pita bread to dip in it.
I think I found it online (or at least something similar)
Ingredients
8 oz Cream Cheese 12 oz Shredded Mozzarella 1 Cup Mayonnaise 1 Cup Grated Parmesan 1 Onion, finely chopped 2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped 2 jars Marinated Artichoke Hearts 1 package Pita Bread
Drain artichokes well and tear them apart with your fingers. Cut up pita bread into chip size triangles, separate and bake on a cookie sheet until crispy(approx. 5 minutes). Combine all other ingredients and mash. Bake in an uncovered casserole dish for approx. 30 minutes @ 350 degrees Serve hot out of the over and scoop up dip with pita bread.

I have made this and it is awesome!
Chili Dip
1 can of chili 1 package of cream cheese 1 bag of shredded cheddar or taco/mexican blend cheese sliced jalapenos (optional)
Spread cream cheese at the base of a casserole dish
pour the can of chili on top of the cream cheese
spread the shredded cheese across the top
garnish the top with sliced jalapenos
bake in the oven until cheese melts - about 10 minutes.
Serve with tortilla chips (tostito scoops are great for this dip)
You can vary this by layering the chili and the cheese twice and/or by adding a layer of salsa.
