Blue Cheese & Bacon Chips

It just doesn't get any simpler than this folks!  Store bought chips, dressing, bacon & cheese- all things that you can keep on hand for this go to appetizer, snack, or side dish.  Perfect when you have surprise guests pop in or for snacking on movie night!

Ingredients:

1 bag Kettle Cooked Chips (Original Flavor)

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Crumbled Blue Cheese

3 pieces of Bacon, cooked & crumbled

Bacon isn't in this picture because it was an after thought...I just happened to have 3 pieces left over from breakfast so I crumbled it & tossed it in.  We loved the addition!  You can omit it if you want; we make it both ways.  You want to make sure you buy the kettle cooked, extra crispy type of potato chips.  Several different brands make them.  Regular potato chips won't work for this, they would be too mushy. 

 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Place 1/2 of the bag of potato chips on an oven proof platter or sheet pan.  Dollop some blue cheese dressing over the chips, sprinkle on some crumbled blue cheese & bacon.  Then repeat with another layer. 

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, just until the chips are crisp & the cheese is melty.

Enjoy immediately.

Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls with Blue Cheese Dip

I warned you when I made the Pepperoni & Mozzarella Egg Rolls that you would be seeing these again! And just in time for football season, these are stuffed with chicken meat doused in buffalo sauce with blue cheese dipping sauce! A fantastically fun twist on buffalo chicken wings. Egg Roll wrappers can be found at any grocery store these days, in the produce section. Near the bagged salads & freshly prepared veggies, fruit, etc. Ingredients:
2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (or 2 cups shredded Chicken Meat)
1 small Carrot, finely chopped or shredded
1-2 Green Onions
1/2 cup Blue Cheese Crumbles (about 2 oz)
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/3 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 package Egg Roll Wrappers

What else you'll need:

Oil for frying
Blue Cheese dressing
Blue Cheese Crumbles
Celery Sticks
Baby Carrots

Directions:

Roast your chicken breasts (if using), drizzled with olive oil & seasoned with salt & pepper, in the oven at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes (just until fully cooked). Let it cool slightly then chop or shred into a mixing bowl.

Add the finely chopped carrot, chopped green onion (reserving a little bit for topping), mozzarella & blue cheese crumbles to the chicken & combine. Add the Buffalo sauce to coat. We like Frank's Buffalo Sauce, but use what ever is your favorite. Preheat your oil to 375 degrees. Lay out a few egg roll wrappers on the counter. Put about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center. Using a pastry brush (or your finger) dipped in water wet all 4 edges of the egg roll. Fold up the bottom corner, then the 2 sides & roll up. The package has directions & diagrams for you to follow too. Deep fry for 1-2 minutes, just until lightly browned. They will continue to cook after you pull them out of the oil. I line a baking sheet with paper towels to drain the egg rolls on after they come out of the oil. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving, they will be HOT! I add extra blue cheese crumbles to store bought blue cheese salad dressing for dipping. Sprinkle the reserved spring onions on top and serve celery sticks & baby carrots on the side. Yum!!  Blue Cheese- جبنه معفنه, روكفور
