Cheesy Friday; Deans Cheese Pretzel Dip Cheesy Chicken Mac Recipe and GIVEAWAY

** THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **

*** THIS POST HAS BEEN CHANGED AS OF 240 HRS 082710 RE GIVEAWAY DETAILS-SEE BELOW ***

Remember Mustard Monday?

Well thanks to Deans Dip,  I will be participating in Cheesy Friday with Dean's for the next 3 weeks! I'll be sharing some recipes using their great dips AND offering you a super giveaway each week. Can you say WOOHOO??

If you recall Dean's Pretzel dips come in Honey- Mustard and Cheddar Cheese. Today's focus is on cheese dip!


This is a quick recipe I came up with (but forgot to take a pix of, naturally)-

Cheesy Chicken Mac
1 (or 2) container(s) of Dean's Pretzel Cheese Dip
1 1/2 cps shredded chicken
1 can Rotel tomatoes (or choicc of flavor level), drained
1 can mushrooms, drained, sliced and/or chopped
2 1/2 cps pasta- your choice, use elbow, bow ties, ziti, rotinni, etc

Directions:
1. Boil pasta to personal preference and drain
2. This recipe can be cooked on the stove as is, or you can make it and bake with added topping. If you wish to bake, then preheat over to 350 degrees.
3. In large pan, mix noodles, sauce, tomatoes, mushroom and chicken. If you really like cheese, then you may want to add more form a second container. Heat, serve.
4. OR do step #3, then place in casserole dish. Sprinkle with your favorite shredded cheese (I like a Monterey Jack/Cheddar blend for this) and bake til hot and cheese is all melted. Serve

Makes 4 (possible 6 if using as side dish)

And now for the FUN part!

  14. Hmm, I think it would go wonderful with nacho's and cheese. I normally make chili and cheese nachos and this would be an excellent substitute for the jar cheese sauce I use. Please enter me in this giveaway:) Thanks!

  29. I would use the cheese sauce inside of a hamburger with onions and garlic. I usually use a blue cheese but i think a smooth cheddar would be very tasty. Just make a hole in the burger and fill with cheese then cover back up with burger then toss it on the grill and brush with BBQ sauce!
