Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce With Mozzarella Cheese Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Pour marinara into a 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low about 2 hours, until hot. Stir in mozzarella and basil. Cook until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes longer. If desired, top with crushed red pepper flakes and additional basil. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Steps:

• Spray 1 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour marinara sauce into cooker.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting about 2 hours or until hot.
• Stir in cheese and basil. Cover; cook on Low heat setting about 30 minutes longer or until cheese is just starting to melt. Serve with baguette slices. Dip can be kept warm on Low heat setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.
• Add tomato sauce and tomato paste to the slow cooker and set temperature to Low. Cook and stir until the paste melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine, vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, cilantro, chili powder, paprika, oregano, bay leaves, sugar, and cinnamon; stir until well combined.
• Cover, and cook, stirring once in a while, until reduced, 6 to 8 hours. Remove bay leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep pan to 330 degrees F.
• Place the flour in a shallow dish, season with salt and pepper then stir. Beat together the egg with salt and pepper in a second shallow dish. Place the finely crushed garlic and herb pita chips in a third shallow dish. Dip each cheese stick half in flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg, then repeat the flour and egg. Lastly, dip each in the pita chips, pressing to coat. At this point, freeze for 15 minutes to firm the sticks before frying.
• Combine the marinara, cream and pesto in a small sauce pot. Stir and heat through.
• Fry the mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 30 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
