Sauces, Spreads, & Condiments

A really delicious and simple Italian appetizer to serve on slices of toasted baguette.

I'm still astounded by this recipe - even after making it a dozen times! This is wonderful on veggies, in casseroles, as a queso dip, on nachos, etc. You might like to add some sliced avocado chunks and/or black beans if you make it into queso. It keeps well in the fridge for a few days, and it's delicious cold.

The recipe can easily be scaled up. We usually double it.

A delicious and simple gravy. We like to have this on Christel's Kidney Bean Loaf but it also goes well with potatoes and anything else you might like to have with gravy.

A versatile combination to add to burritos, serve over baked potatoes or enjoy as a side dish.
