Charleston Cheese Dip

I love dips.  I could eat dip for breakfast, lunch, and supper. Sometimes, if I'm making a meal that takes a while to finish, I'll make a dip for the family to snack on while waiting.  Sometimes, I make entire meals out of appetizers.  This is a new dip I tried that was super yummy. I have a recipe I like to make called "Tennessee Sin" that this makes me think of.  Hmm, now that I'm thinking of it, maybe I should make that next.....

Charleston Cheese Dip

1/2 - cup mayonnaise
1 - 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1 - cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 - cup grated Monterey jack cheese
2 - green onions, finely chopped
Dash of cayenne pepper
8 - Ritz crackers, crushed
8 - slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, green onions and cayenne pepper. Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish.

Top mixture with cracker crumbs and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the pan from the oven and top with the bacon. Serve immediately with corn chips, bagel chips or crackers.

Breakfast Bars

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE breakfast recipe.  Don't think this is something special or fancy.  It's not.  It's super easy to do.  Maybe that's why I like it so much. My mother also used to make this when I was a little girl for our Christmas morning breakfast.  Maybe it's the memories of those Christmas' that make me like it so much.  For whatever reason, you should try this!

1 Roll of Crescent Rolls
1 pound of sausage (regular or spicy)
5 eggs
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Press the crescent roll dough on the bottom and up the sides of an 8 x 8 baking dish.  Brown the sausage in a skillet, drain off fat.  Crumble evenly over the dough.  Whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper together. Pour eggs over sausage.  Sprinkle cheese on top.  Bake in a 350 oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until eggs are set.  Cut into squares and enjoy!
