5 layer scarecrow dip

I had no time to post these yesterday so I am posting it today. Foe last nights festivities I made a 5 layer scarecrow dip from my Betty Crocker Halloween cook book.

What you need for this is 8 oz cream cheese, taco seasoning (optional), 1 can of beans, shredded lettuce, olives, shredded cheese, triangle shape tortilla chips, salsa, cherry tomatoes.

Mix the cream cheese with the taco seasoning (which I did not do. I forgot I had used it to make tacos) and spread it on the plate. Cover the cream cheese layer with salsa and top with olives as shown above.

Sprinkle with cheese and spread the beans over the cheese.

Put your shredded lettuce all around the bean dip with shredded cheese on top and bottom.

Lastly cut a cherry tomato in half and use for eyes. Cut 2slices of olives and place them on the cherry tomato eyes. Take another cherry tomato and use for a nose. Make the mouth with 2 slices of olives and cut those slices in half to shape the mouth. Use the triangle tortilla chips to make the hat. Refer to the first picture.



Cheese filled eyeballs

Another recipe out of my Halloween cook book. For this recipe you will need: 2lbs ground beef, black olives, 8 sticks string cheese, 3 eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, marinara sauce.

Set oven to 375 degrees and spray a pan or baking dish with cooking spray to place the meatballs in. Now take your sticks of string cheese and cut each one into 6 pieces.

Mix all the ingredients listed above. Place the olives aside. You will use those at the end for the finishing touch. Once all your ingredients are mixed together, roll your meatballs and stick a piece of cheese into each one like so...

Bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and place a olive slice in the center of each eyeball! Serve with marinara sauce!
