Seven Layer Cranberry Cobb Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Mix beans and taco seasoning mix. Spread onto bottom of 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish. Then layer the all remaining ingredients except chips over bean mixture; cover. Refrigerate several hours or until chilled. Serve with chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Open the hamburger buns and arrange on a baking sheet. Brush the buns all over with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Toast until golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Cut into very small pieces and set aside.
• Combine the cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise and a pinch of salt in a food processor and process until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the ketchup and mustard in a bowl for the sauce, cover and refrigerate until ready for use.
• Arrange the bacon in a large nonstick skillet (do in batches if necessary) and heat over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove, let cool slightly and chop into small pieces.
• Wipe out the skillet. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add one-third of the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in a 1/3 cup of the prepared ketchup sauce and cool the beef mixture to room temperature.
• Let the cheese mixture soften at room temperature, about 30 minutes, before building the dip. Layer the dip in a medium, straight-sided 3-quart clear glass trifle bowl or your favorite serving dish. Spread out the cheese mixture and then top, in even layers, with the buns, tomatoes, beef, the remaining ketchup sauce, the pickles, the remaining onions and the bacon.
• Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Top with the shredded lettuce right before serving. Serve with chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Melt butter. Spread crushed graham crackers evenly in 9" x 11" pan. Drizzle butter evenly over graham crackers. Making sure to scatter each evenly, add chocolate bits, then butterscotch bits, walnut pieces and sweet coconut flakes. Spread sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. In preheated 375-degree F oven place pan on center rack for 25 minutes. Let cool for one hour and cut into 2" x 2" squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line three 13-by-9-inch baking pans with either parchment paper or greased aluminum foil.
• In a food processor, pulse together the butter, confectioners' sugar and almond paste until pale yellow and fluffy. Continue to pulse while adding the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Add the flour and process until a smooth dough forms, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides and corners of the bowl.
• Remove the dough and divide into 3 even pieces. Place one piece back into the processor with a dab of red gel food coloring, and pulse until combined. Repeat with another piece and a dab of green food coloring.
• Spread the red, green and plain doughs in the prepared baking pans, and bake until light and springy to the touch, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely in their pans, about 1 hour.
• Remove the cookie layers from their pans, reserving 1 pan to use as a mold. Place the apricot and raspberry jams in separate bowls or mugs and microwave until loose, about 1 minute. In another bowl, toss the chocolate chips with the corn syrup and oil and microwave in 30-second spurts, stirring with a fork in between, until a shiny glaze is formed.
• Place the green layer in the pan, then spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over it. Next, add the white layer, then repeat the process with the apricot jam. Top with the red layer, then spread the chocolate glaze across the top. Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens, then wrap in plastic and allow to set for another hour, refrigerated.
• Place a cutting board on top of the pan, invert it, and unmold the cookies. Using a sharp knife, cut the cookies lengthwise into 4 long pieces, then cut across in 1/2-inch intervals. These keep, well-wrapped at room temperature, 5 days.

Steps:

• Spread refried beans on bottom of plate approximately 9 x 12. Mix mayonnaise and sour cream. Add taco seasoning and spread on top of bean layer. For the last layer sprinkle the following on top: chopped avocado sprinkled with lemon juice, picante sauce, chopped scallions, sliced black olives, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheeses. Serve cold with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Adjust two oven racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and the bread on another baking sheet. Bake the walnuts until golden and toasted, about 10 minutes. Bake the bread until lightly golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Set both aside to cool completely. Finely chop 2 cups of the walnuts and set aside. Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, parsley, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside. Put the chicken in a food processor along with 1 cup of the sour cream mixture, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Process until the mixture is a chunky puree. Transfer to another medium bowl and set aside. Rinse out the food processor, and add the toasted bread, 2 cups of the un-chopped walnuts, the mustard and 1 teaspoon salt. Process until the mixture resembles a chunky puree. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and 2 tablespoons water through the feed tube. Continue to process until smooth. To assemble the dip, make an even layer of the chicken salad in the bottom of a 2-quart trifle bowl. Then top with even layers of the following: the walnut mixture, chopped celery stalks, blue cheese, the reserved finely chopped walnuts, the remaining sour cream-herb sauce and then the cranberries. Sprinkle with the celery leaves. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours or overnight. Serve with crackers.
