Lindas Spider Web Platter Recipes

Steps:

• On a lg. round or oval dish spread out refried beans.
• Fry hamburger until no longer pink, and drain grease.
• Add Ro-tel tomatoes and taco seasoning mix and let liquid boil out. Mixing a few times so the burger doesn't stick.
• When most of the juice is evaporated put the meat mixture over the refried bean layer.
• Spoon on salsa and spread across meat mixture.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake in 350 oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
• In the meantime, spoon the sour cream into a small Zip-Lock bag, and cut the corner. Pipe a large dot in the middle of the cheese, then make a line about 1" from the circle all the way around.
• Make another circle 1" from previous circle all the way around, and continue making lines until you are at the edge of the mixture.
• Drag a tooth pick through the sour cream to make a web design OR you can draw horizontal lines with the sour cream a few inches apart, all the way around to make a spider web, so you can add more sour cream to the top. I usually do it this way.
• I decorated the top with a little spider for added affect.
• Use tortilla chips to scoop up dip.

Steps:

• Place scoops of ice cream in the bottom of a tall glass.
• Add the carbonated beverage/soda/fizzy drink.
• Watch that the froth does not overflow.

Steps:

• In a 5 quart pot stir together the tomato sauce, tomato puree, tomato paste, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, fennel seeds if using, and dry red wine; simmer over medium low heat for 1 hour.
• Stir frequently; do not allow sauce to stick; lower heat if needed.
• While sauce is cooking, brown beef and onion; drain well.
• Add hamburger to the sauce at the end of the hour.
• Simmer sauce for 1/2 hour; taste; adjust seasoning as needed.
• Simmer for additional 1/2 hour.
• Serve over your favorite pasta with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Slice Kielbasa with diagonal cuts about 1/2 inch wide.
• Line plate with a tripled (or more) layers of paper towels as this platter will get very juicy.
• In a circular formation, arrange sliced Kielbasa on paper towels. It should fill the plate.
• Spoon 1/2 of the Preserves jar over the top, making sure all sausages are lightly covered.
• Cover it, I just use the other plate loosely covering it or you can cover with plastic wrap.
• Microwave in the oven on HIGH for 2 minutes depending on your Micro.
• PLEASE, PLEASE take care when carrying it out and opening it up as it will be hot and HOT steam and juices may spill out. You may want to have it on another plate or slide it onto another plate to take it out.
• Poke toothpicks into most of the sausages and serve hot.
