Annie's White Chocolate-Kahlua® Creme Brulee
I try to come up with at least one new dish for every holiday with the family. I decided to do a creme brulee one year, and found several recipes that looked interesting but none were quite what I wanted. I ended up combining a couple, then tweaking until my hubby said, That's it! Now when the torch comes out, everyone starts swarming! I've even found hidden dishes in the refrigerator where someone has saved one for themselves.
Black-Eyed Pea Dip
This is a wonderful, easy dip recipe that looks like a salsa. It's important that it refrigerate at least six hours, You may even let it go overnight so the flavors can blend. It's best with Fritos® Scoops®.
Hot Bean and Bacon Dip with Air Fryer Tortilla Chips
This is a great dip for game day, potlucks, or get-togethers. We serve it with air-fried tortilla chips. Leftovers are great (but you probably won't have any) in a flour tortilla for a bean and cheese burrito, or roll it in a corn tortilla for a quick taco.
