THE FAMOUS TEXAS CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Place cheese, tomatoes, and jalapenos and their liquid in small heavy saucepan. Set over low heat and cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes until cheese melts and mixture is smooth, or microwave 5 minutes on HIGH in covered, microwave-safe casserole, stirring once at halftime. Serve warm with corn chips or bite-size broccoli or cauliflower florets, celery, carrot, or zucchini sticks.

FIREHOUSE CHILI

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat canola oil over medium heat. Brown beef in batches, crumbling meat, until no longer pink; drain and set aside. Add onions and green pepper; cook until tender. Return meat to Dutch oven. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until flavors are blended, about 1-1/2 hours.

FIRE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Line crackers on ends (like dominoes) in an air-tight container.
• In a small bowl, mix oil, dressing mix, peppers, and garlic powder.
• Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
• Continue to stir to prevent the pepper from settling on the bottom of the bowl.
• Spoon mixture evenly over crackers, like drizzling icing on a cake.
• Close lid tightly and flip the container over every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes. Lightly shake back and forth to make sure all the crackers are coated.
• Store in a ziplock bag. Will keep for about a week -- if they last that long!
