Rules of the blog

So the idea came up in #paforums_pax to have a way for us to share our recipes, especially by those who want to learn to cook. I've set up this blog as a place for people to post and comment on recipes and will eventually (read that as when I f'in feel like it or someone else does the work :P ) be compiled into a cookbook for our community to buy.

To post please contact EruditeAphrodite with your email address and I will add you as a writer. If you can, post pictures with your recipes so people can see what the food looks like. A rating system (Casual, Easy, Normal, Hard, Super Foodie) was also mentioned to give people an idea of how difficult a recipe is.

Some final rules
- The title of your post should be the name of the dish
- Include tags for type of dish (soup, salad, main, etc) along with major ingredients
- If the recipe is something you have yoinked please include where it came from.

If you have any suggestions about running this (and especially if you'd like to help) PLEASE let me know. Eep is a very busy girl. :P

(Some number of) layer dip

This is the dish that I bring to almost every pot luck I go to and is frequently requested by friends. It actually makes really good leftovers, however, I've only had some left once so don't take this to a party expecting to eat it for lunch the next day. XD

Difficulty: Casual

Taco Meat:
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp salt
1.5 Tbs chili powder
3/4 cup salsa
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbs ketchup
1 Tbs olive oil if the beef is really low fat

Layers:
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I use reduced fat and no one notices)
Small container sour cream (again, I use reduced fat)
2 medium avocados
12 oz can of tomatoes with green chilis
Ranch style beans (if I've made them)
Onion (I don't include this, but my mom does)

Brown the beef with all of the taco meat seasonings and pour into the bottom of a large Pyrex baking dish (mine is 9.5*13.5*2). Slice avocados and layer on. Drain can of tomatoes and pour on for the next layer. Repeat with the beans and onions. For the final two layers coat the dish in sour cream and then add the final layer of cheese. Serve with chips.

This dish is so easy to make, but will be a HUGE hit with your gaming group. Feel free to go on about how much work you put into the dip, I won't tell. ;)
