Texas Caviar

This stuff its so good! I have made it several times for a party and just for us to eat. So healthy and yummy!!I left out the jalapeno chilies and only used a red onion instead of the first two ingredients- try it and add your own things.

NIGHT IN OLD SAN ANTONIO TEXAS CAVIAR
1/2 onion, chopped
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
6 jalapeno chilies, minced
1 tbsp. garlic, minced
2 tomatoes, diced
8 oz. bottle zesty Italian dressing
1/3 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 can corn, drained
2 cans black eyed peas, drained
Combined all ingredients and refrigerate 2 hours.

Serve with corn chips or tortilla chips.

I also make a "Ranch type" dressing that you can add to this. All I do is mix Ranch Dressing and a little Italian Dressing together. The Ranch will get diluted a bit. This adds great flavor or you can eat as is.

Western Potato Rounds
Pampered Chef Recipe

Need:
2 large unpeeled baking potatoes (about 1 ¼ pounds)
Vegetable oil
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded co-jack cheese
6 bacon slices, crispy cooked, drained, and crumbled
1/3 cup green onion slices (optional)
¼ cup barbecue sauce


Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 450. Cut potatoes into ¼ inch slices. Spray both sides of the potato slices with oil. Place on a 15 inch Round baking stone. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned, remove from oven.

Combine in a bowl cheese, bacon, onions. Generously brush potato slices with barbecue sauce, sprinkle with cheese mixture. Return potato slices to oven. Bake 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Yields 24 rounds.

Tips: Leaving the peel on the potatoes will help keep the shape of the baked potato slices. The potato slices will cook more evenly when sliced to the same thickness.
