dip of indeterminate layers
February 1st, 2009It had to happen, you know: a Sunday snuck up on me and I was left without a shred of inspiration for Dumbass Gourmet. Earlier I thought I would make ham and bean soup, but today I awoke to find that not only was southcentral Kentucky positively balmy, I had absolutely zero gumption to make anything, much less ham and bean soup. So I toyed around with coupons and recipes for a while, took a walk with a friend, and finally slouched over to Kroger to see what I could see with the aim of not letting my legions of fans (all five of you) down.
I’m sorry, but this is all I could come up with:
I can’t call it seven-layer dip because it only has six: refried beans, ground turkey, black beans, taco sauce, sour cream, and cheese. Well, there’s two layers of cheese, so maybe it IS seven-layer dip. Whatever.
It’s wholly uninspired and looks a bit like dog barf, but it was actually pretty good with a bag of Tostitos. We didn’t watch the Super Bowl — we’re rebels that way, I guess — but the dip went nicely with the Food Network wedding cake show that was on.
Thanks for sticking with me! I’ll try to rally my culinary brain cells next week to make up for this disappointment.

i actually did make 15 bean and ham soup today my shortcut to no fuss is buy a bag of 15bean soup dried beans you just put them in a pot bring them to a boit for 2 minutes turn them off let sit an hour (that would have been a good time to take your walk). dice an onion a carrot a piece of celery through it in the pot wit the beans. turn it back on and simmer coupl of hours. or through the whole thing in the crock pot and forget about it for the day.i threw in a ham bone i had in the freezer. and here’s the secret about a hour before its done squeeze in about 1/3 cup of ketsup.
