What Are the Best Microwave Appetizer Recipes for a Boat Party?

[Kimmie]

I am so sorry if this isn't the section that this goes in. The only other section I saw was "recipe tips".

I'm doing a show Friday night at a marina on a boat. My host wants to showcase the stoneware and how to use it in the microwave for appetizers. I've heard of a fabulous recipe from a few years ago called "Chili Cheese Dip" that I think would go over great. But can anyone message me the recipe or any other ideas they have!

Thanks so much! I've never stressed so much over a party!

Hmmm, not sure I have that one. Here's one I have that's 'kinda' like it and I'm still looking..

Mexican Bean Dip

1 (16 oz) can fat-free refried black beans
2 tsp Pantry Southwestern Seasoning Mix
3/4 cup reduced fat Mexican blend cheese, divided
3/4 cup diced red bell pepper, divided
3/4 cup thick and chunky salsa, divided
1/2 cup whole kernal corn
2 tsp lime juice
2 Tbls snipped fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves, pressed
Reduced Fat sour cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine refried beans, 1/2 cup of the cheese, 1/4 cup of the salsa, lime juice, garlic pressed with Garlic Press and seasoning mix. Spread bean mixture onto bottom of Mini-Baker. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the bell pepper and corn evenly over bean mixture. Spoon remaining salsa over corn mixture. Bake 22-25 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining cheese, remaining bell pepper and cilantro. Garnish with sour cream, if desired. Serve with Lime Tortilla Chips. Makes 14 servings.

Here's what I was looking for - not called Chili Cheese Dip though

Touchdown Taco Dip

1 (9 oz) can bean dip
1/2 medium tomato, seeded and diced (about 1/2 cup)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 green onions with tops, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup pitted ripe olives, sliced
1 Tbls taco seasoning mix
1 Tbls finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 garlic clove, pressed
Additional sour cream (optional)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Tortilla chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Using Small Mix 'N Scraper, spread bean dip over bottom of Small Oval Baker. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning mix and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; mix well. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over bean dip. Grate cheddar cheese over top using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted. To prepare toppings, remove stem from tomato using Cook's Corer. Dice tomato and thinly slice green onions using Utility Knife. Slice olives using Egg Slicer Plus. Finely chop cilantro using Pizza Cutter. Sprinkle tomato, onions, olives and cilantro over dip. Garnish with additional sour cream, if desired. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired. Makes 8 servings.

Would any of those work in the microwave? She doesn't have an oven on her boat - only a microwave. Any ideas?!?

 

[DebbieJ]

Hot pizza dip works in the microwave for sure. You just have to heat it until everything is melted and hot.

Microwave only?Don't forget the 30 min chicken in DCB...or the pork tenderloin. Not an appetizer, but very nice indeed!

Touchdown Taco dip is also very yummy in the microwave.
