One of my all time faves Except I top with cheese, bake, then put the tomato-olives-onion on top. I believe it was originally in the More Stoneware Sensations cookbook (on the outlet?).

Hmmm, The Joyces Fine Cooking version is different than the actual PC recipe.....it is in several past Season's Best, and it is in the More Stoneware Sensations Cookbook I think... I'll have to find it and post it if someone doesn't already have it....or it may already be in the files here.....let me check....

Here is the link to the file on CS for the actual PC recipe!

Okay...didn't do that right...anyway, you can just look under files - it's right there!

PC had a couple of "official" versions - one used a can of refried beans, one used bean dip (made a smaller batch in the small oval baker), etc.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can really personalize it and make it your own: add ground beef, put in extra cheese, etc.

Yeah, but neither one of them had you put the toppings (tomatoes, olive etc....) on under the cheese and then bake it......

 

[chefann]

Didn't notice that. I didn't actually read the version above, since I'm not the person making it.

Ya I added in: (layers)

beans
cream cheese mixture (my seasonings were 1T SW Seas & 1T S&S Bbq)
tomatoes
black beans/sweet corn combo
yellow cheeses

ONE time I did two Tablespoons of the SW Seas mix and it was too spicy for me so when we did it the other night we tried it this was and it was super yum.

OH plus I only do half the cream cheese and then add in Mozzarella because the whole brick of cream cheese is TOO strong cream cheese for me. One version I sub some cottage cheese in for half the cream cheese w/mozzarella and it was good too.

Call me crazy, but I can't find it when I searched in the recipe files. Actually, I ALWAYS have problems with the recipe files. I can only see the top 10recently added, top 10 highest rated and top 10 most viewed. It says there are 64 recipes, but I can only see the top 10 from each category. What is the issue??? Can anyone help???


Anyway, just in case, here is the one from the F/W 2005 Season's Best.
