Ranch Chipolte Bacon Dip

Ranch Chipolte Bacon Dip 

 

 

 

Have you ever been to a restaurant and fell is love with something that they served and tried to copy it at home?  Well I do all the time and usually end with huge disappointments.  I will admit that I am so proud of myself that I ended up with a finished product exactly how the original tasted.  

The web has so many recipes and there are thousands of variations but this is by far my favorite.  This is the perfect dip, sauce, topping, and/or spread for anything from sandwiches, wraps, poboys, and Fried Green Tomatoes. Hell, this stuff is so good just get a bag of tortilla chips and ENJOY!!!

 

 

 

1 cup Mayo

2 cups reduced fat sour cream

1 packet ranch dressing mix

2 chipotle peppers

5 bacon strips....(as much as you want) Can't go wrong with Bacon

 

In a food processor mix first 3 ingredients and mix. Add chipotle peppers and puree, add crumbled bacon and puree some more.  Super easy and super yummy.

Fried Green Tomatoes

1 cup milk

 

2 cups Cornmeal

 

oil

 

salt & pepper to taste

 

 

Summer in the South means Tomatoes, Tomatoes,  Tomatoes.  We put a fresh ripe tomato on anything and everything.  This is also the perfect time to enjoy green tomatoes. A hard, tart, green tomato is the perfect reason to fry something yummy.

I have been experimenting on the perfect fried tomato and I have finally perfected my recipe.

 

Fill a cast iron pan with oil, about 1 inch.  Cut green tomatoes in 1/4 inch slices.  Coat sliced tomato in flour, then dip in egg/milk mixture. After slice is coated with the wet mixture you then dip slices into cornmeal seasoned with salt and pepper.

 

After the tomato is fully coated gently lay the slice into hot oil.  I heat my oil on med/high heat. I usually cook 5 slices at a time.  Once the cornmeal turns med brown turn and cook the other side.

 

Serve with Bacon Ranch Chipolte Sauce
