Homeade Kasoo Dip (Queso)


If you're wondering about the spelling of Kasoo, this is the way I always thought it was spelled - believe it or not (guess I need to learn Spanish). I love this dish. But I have it only so often. So I think it is a good idea to share this recipe with you.

  • In a crock pot, empty two cans of Rotel ( 10 oz each cans). Then turn the crock pot on high.
  • Meanwhile, in a saute pan, take at least 1 pound of hamburger meat and dump into the saute pan. Turn to pan on high to start with. Then, turn it down to medium so you won't have to tend it as much. Check it every few minutes, and chop it down to tiny bite sized pieces.
  • Then, chop 1 32oz box of Velveeta cheese into tiny cubes. Throw them into the pot.
  • Take the browned meat, and season it with 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Tony Chaceres, but don't season it too much! Taste it while you gently pour the seasoning on. If it is perfect seasoned to your satisfaction, drain the meat in a strainer. This takes out all the fat.
  • Put that into the crock pot. Reduce the temperature to low, and cook until the cheese is melted.
  • If you are impatient like me, you can take the Kasoo, and microwave until it is done.
  • Put the finished Kasoo into a bowl, and on a plate put on some tortilla chips.
  • Enjoy!
This dish is easy, fun, and is great for parties, preferably Super Bowl parties.

Way to go SixBurgh Steelers and have fun in the kitchen!!!!!

Creme Anglaise Ice Cream from Ina Garten

Just recently, I made Ina Garten's (the Barefoot Contessa) Creme Anglaise Ice Cream. It was very easy to make and the ingredients are the types that we use everyday.

Here is the mixture before it is chilled and churned to the
consistency of ice cream.

I tasted this before chilling (because it looked and smelled sooo good) and it was amazing.

Here is the finished ice cream. Devoured in five Minutes. But I made my
self a small serving, anyway.




Also, here is a link to the recipe if you desire to make it. Click here: Food Network Website

Have fun in the kitchen!

Mixed Fruit Smoothie

Sorry I haven't posted some recipes in a while but my days have been just so crowded. So to make up for this, I have decided to give you a fool-proof recipe for a drink that is sure to satisfy your thirst needs.

If you're wondering why I'm posting so many drinks is because soon I may post some foods and the drinks just may go with the dish. Okay, back to the recipe now.

Sometimes my Father makes smoothies. In this case it's a mixed fruit smoothie. So I'll show you how to make it. It's very good and is healthy as well.

  • In a blender, combine 3/4 to 1 cup of mixed fruit (strawberries, mangoes, and papayas are fine) and 1 1/2 bananas. Also a half-can of frozen white grape juice from concentrate (you can find it at your local grocery store) Then press the "blend" button until smooth.
  • Take about 1 quart of crushed ice and pour some into the blender. Press the "ice crush" button until ice is crushed. Continue this process until all the ice is crushed.
  • Take about 1/4 of a cup of unflavored yogurt and put it into the mixture, then press the "liquefy" button until smooth.
  • Spoon into a glass, any kind is fine.
  • Enjoy!
Happy New Year and have fun in the kitchen!
