A dish to die for

Have you ever been in a restaurant and eaten a dish 'to die for'? Then for many weeks afterwards you think about 'the dish', you dream about 'the dish' and you tell all of your friends about 'the dish'. Have you ever been so obsessed that you then think..... 'I should try to get a job at this restaurant so that I can find out the recipe to 'the dish'.' Or one better than that.....'I need to make this chef my friend - a really really good friend!'

Well ladies... I actually did this once. I stalked the 'Kelsey's guy' for the 4 cheese spinach dip. Now if you've ever had the 4 cheese spinach dip you will understand my need to get my hands on this recipe. I thought my friendship with the Kelsey's guy could be short and sweet... but no. It took many months of being 'friendly' to get my hands on the recipe - but that I did! So enjoy! And as a way of paying me back for this recipe I hope that someone will stalk the 'Gusto catering guy' to get the recipe for that 'to die for' shrimp that they served at the wedding last weekend. He's a smoker so you'll have to work fast at being 'friendly' and getting out equally as fast.

Kelsey's 4 Cheese Spinach Dip

2 blocks cream cheese
1 package frozen spinach
1 package 'Olivera' Alfredo sauce
3 cloves of garlic
1 tsp tobasco
2 tbsp worcheister sauce
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 red or green pepper diced
1/2 red onion diced

Grated Cheddar cheese (optional topping)

Lots of cut up pita, tostitoes chips and/or crackers.

Mix all of the ingredients together and put in a casserole dish. Top with grated cheddar cheese if you desire. Bake at 350 degrees until melted through (can take 30min or so. I usually just watch.) Some people like it cold as well - I prefer it heated.

Carolyn - this works great in the mini crock.
