Holiday GTG recipes

I know there were some requests for recipes from the Holiday GTG. If you want to post them here or email them to me (naclh2otaffy at gmail), I'll update our Nestie cookbook with them and republish it over the holiday break for everyone to download. I'll even include the infamous KA chicken tacos in the cookbook so that everyone has the recipe. 
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Holiday GTG recipes
Peppermint Eggnog Punch
1 quart peppermint ice cream, softened
4 cups eggnog, chilled
1 cup rum or 2 teaspoons rum extract, optional (I used rum extract to keep it alcohol free at the GTG)
2 cups carbonated water, chilled (I used Perrier)
Miniature candy canes, optional
Put the ice cream in a punch bowl. Stir in the eggnog, rum extract (or rum) and mix until most of the ice cream lumps are gone. Add in carbonated water. Line the rim of the punchbowl with candy canes to add festive touch.
Mozzarella, Tomato, Artichoke and Olive Salad.
I'd give you the recipe, but I don't think HEB will give it to me.

Warm & Creamy Bacon Dip
16 oz sour cream
8 oz cream cheese softened
3 oz bacon bits (I use real bacon pieces rather than imitation bacon bits)
2 cups cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped green onions
mix all ingredients together and spoon into a 1 quart baking dish. bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes. serve with Wheat Thins.
This is one of the things that looked SO GOOD. Bacon is no bueno for me right now, but man, once my food aversions pass, I'm so making this.

? c. freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1 lb loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1 Tbsp olive oil

- Snip dough 16 times from the outer edge of the circle at about 1 1/2-inch intervals, cutting two-thirds of the way through, using kitchen scissors.
- Lift and turn every other section of dough toward the center of the circle pinching ends, so the dough resembles branches if desired.

- Mix oil, garlic & nItalian seasoning; brush over dough.
- Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
I tried a new recipe for the artichoke dip. I did not like it nearly as much as I like mine usual one so I am not posting.
Meatballs
Mix sauce ingredients and pour over frozen meatballs. Bake until meatballs are cooked.
Bacon Goodies
Sleeve of Club Crackers
Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese (I used the three cheese blend)
Package of thin cut bacon, cut slices in half
Put a cookie cooling rack inside a jelly roll type cookie sheet. Line the club crackers up on the cooling rack. Put 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese on each cracker. Wrap each cracker with 1/2 a slice of bacon so that the entire cracker is covered in bacon. Bake in 250 degree oven for about two hours. Can be frozen and reheated at 350 for about 10 minutes before serving.

Bacon Appetizer Crescents
Preheat oven to 375. Mix cream cheese, bacon, Parmesan cheese, onions, parsley, milk until well blended. Set aside.
Separate each can of dough into 4 rectangles, press perforations together to seal. Spread each rectangle with 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture. Cut each rectangle into 4 slices lengthwise. Roll up and place on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes.
Pan Fried Onion Dip
the Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
* 2 large yellow onions
* 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1/2 cup good mayonnaise
Directions
Cut the onions in half and then slice them into 1/8-inch thick half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.) Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.
Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.
I change up the recipe and just use 1 onion and half the butter and oil though, 2 onions is a little to much
