Happy Halloween!|BLT-T Dip

Happy Halloween!

 
     We hope everyone had a great past weekend as well as today being Halloween!  Today we have a dip right from Chef himself.  This is a BLT-T Dip.  Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Turkey.  A fun new dip we think you would love and is different.  Chef told us making a new dip can be difficult just because of how many there are and how many amazing ones at that.  However he thought it was a great idea to have a dip for our video because everyone likes to bring apostatizes for Halloween parties.  Chef did say to make this after the holiday as well!  It makes an all around amazing dip so don't contain it to just this season!

Serves 6-10

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients:
1 Pound of Ground Turkey
1 Pound of Bacon
1 Cup chopped green onions mixing
1 1/2 Cups of sharp cheddar cheese

1 Package of cream cheese (8 ounces)
1 Cup Sour Cream for mixing
1/4 Cup for garnish
1/2 Shredded lettuce
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
Pinch of Garlic powder
Your favorite chips for dipping

Directions:
Place your bacon strips on a cooking sheet over tin foil and cook at 350 degrees until fully cooked.
While the bacon is cooking cook up the ground turkey, season the turkey with salt, pepper and garlic power.
After the bacon is cooked remove and let cool.  (place in freezer for faster results)
Chop up the green onions and tomato and shred the lettuce.
In a large bowl mix the cream cheese, mayo, sour cream and the cooked ground turkey.  Mix well.
Break up the now cooled bacon and add almost all of it.  Leave some for garnishment.
Add the the 1 cup of chopped onions, sharp cheddar cheese and almost all the tomato.  Leave some tomato for garnishment.
Once fully mixed add to a shallow pie dish or other shallow dish.
Cook at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Remove and garnish with the shredded lettuce, and left over bacon, green onions, and tomato.
Place a dollop of cream cheese in the middle.

     We hope everyone enjoyed this post and recipe.  It is a new take on a classic dip and we think you really will enjoy it!  The dish was empty on our end so it was a hit!  The staff and other friends who tried it really enjoyed it because it was different and a lot of the time people bring the same kinds of dips but this one is just a bit different.  Please check out our video below to see how it was made.

     With Halloween here we do hope you have a safe night but enjoy it!  This is a great time to be spooky and just have fun with it.  Again a different kind of dip but try it out.  We think this different style will leave your guest wanting the recipe!

Tangy Chicken Wings

     With Fall now in full swing we thought it would be a great start to show you an appetizer that taste great and is easy to make!  Since we made some great fried chicken wings we wanted to show you that oven baked wings can turn out just as amazing!  This also is a great time to start cooking with our ovens per its cooling down.  When it gets colder out sometimes frying outside can get difficult plus cooking foods in all different techniques is fun and gives you a different taste for that food.

     We think you will enjoy this appetizer, you just simply mix and cook!  No going outside to fry or worry about oil either.  Below is the recipe for this dish along with some changes as well and alterations so be sure to check them out!

Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Total Time: 45 Minutes

Serves 8

Ingredients:
12-15 Chicken Wings thawed and cleaned.
1 Package of dry French onion mix
2 Table Spoons Spicy mustard
1/3 Cup Honey
Salt and Pepper

Directions:
Make sure the wings are fully thawed rinsed and dried.
Salt and Pepper the wings and let sit
In a small bowl mix the french onion mix, mustard and honey together.
Place the wings in a larger bowl place the wings.
Drizzle the sauce over the wings and mix.
Place the wings on a pan that has tin foil on it.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
Flip them around 20 minutes.

Alteration:  You take the wings and cook them for 20 minutes first without the sauce mixed on them.  Then take them out and sauce them, finish cooking them for the rest of the 20 minutes.  Below we will explain the difference so be sure to check that out!

     The video is directly below so please check that out for step by step instructions!  The wings came out great, there only a few so the whole team didn't get to have them but chef tried!  The blog/social medial department did and they were amazing!  They had a crispy texture with a sweet and tangy taste.  Something new and different.  A lot of the times you get the same kinds of wings, but this was different.  It was refreshing to try something new!

     For the alteration, chef said if you sauce the wings then cook them for 40 minutes like the video shows.  They will have a great taste but will have a more harden shell.  If you cook the wings naked then sauce them 20 minutes in, the sauce won't cook as along so the texture will be different.  Try both ways or cook 1/2 one way 1/2 another and see the difference!

   

     We really hope you enjoyed the video and post!  The wings were a great unique idea and makes great for that fall football season!  Also again if you don't have a fryer this works perfectly!  Oven baked wings taste amazing and will be a bit healthier.  We encourage you to always try new ideas and routs to your end result!  Thank you so much again for stopping by we hope you come again!

*Be mindful and do not let any young children listen, or you will be the ones up all night with them!

Be sure to check out all his info which is listed below on this post! 

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 35 Minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients: 
8-12 Asparagus Spears depending on thickness
2 Table Spoons Butter
2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
Lemon Zest- 1 Lemon's worth
Salt and Pepper- to taste
1 Ounce of lemon juice
1 Cup of Carrots, Carrot chips work great
1 lb of Fettuccine
Basil Leaves
Shaved Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
Run Asparagus under cold water and dry.  Cut the bottom woody like ends off.
With a sharp knife cut the asparagus into diagonal pieces. 1/4 inch is good.
In a pan melt 2 table spoons of butter or heat up 2 table spoons of oil.
Add the asparagus and saute for 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and salt and pepper for taste
Add the lemon zest and heavy cream. (You can void the cream if you would like)
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the carrots.
After a minute add the pasta until cooked.
Remove about 2 ounces of the cooking water and set aside.
Drain your pasta and carrot mixture and place back in the pot.
Season with salt.
Pour the asparagus mixture over the pasta and mix, coating all the pasta.
Add some lemon juice and some of the cooking water to loosen if needed.
Add in a few basil leaves
Serve in a bowl or plate and on top add a few more basil leaves and garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese if you would like.

*Side Alteration, if you wanted to not use butter for the pan or heavy cream.  You can substitute it for olive or canola oil which is healthier.  The dish also won't be altered much.

     This dish is very delicious and makes a great fall meal.  It is very simple to make and is very colorful!  You can also not add in the butter, milk and cheese if you want to.  After we all tried this dish we all knew it would be a hit.  It has a great flavor and Fettuccine pasta is so often passed by.  The thicker noodle is nice to work with and its holds the flavor very well.  Make sure you  check out the video below and subscribe if you haven't yet to our channel for future content!

 
     We really hope you enjoyed this post and meal.  Per our Chef in the video you will see please also check out Corpse Husbands Links!  His information will be below! our video so be sure to check it out!  Good food mixed with some scary stories makes a fun night!  I would also recommend putting his stories on in the car if you and some friends are driving.  During a good long drive would be perfect for some scary stories!

     Also note when the season is over keep listening!  Scary stories don't just have to be told during October!  Its fun year round to gather some friends for spooky evening with food and horror!  Hey maybe we will collaborate some day!  (That is our narrator dreaming of course.)  We really enjoyed this post because we had fun and this being our first holiday season we wanted to branch out!  Also note if you found us because you follow Corpse Husband, stick around, maybe you are looking for a cooking site as well!  We would love to have you!
