Manly Man Cheese Dip Recipes

FLAYED MAN CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Lightly coat plastic face mask with cooking spray (see Cook's Notes). Line the face mask with plastic wrap, taking care to press it down fully into the nose and eyes.
• Reserve two or three slices of prosciutto and set aside. Tear the remaining slices of prosciutto into strips and lay them into the mask to form the "muscle tissue." Start around the eyes, leaving eyes blank, and then create the cheeks, chin, and forehead.
• Take the two whole green olives and position them in the eye holes, pimento side-down. Set the mask aside.
• Combine the softened cream cheese, Cheddar, and Havarti cheeses in a mixing bowl. Add the chopped green olives and roasted red peppers. Use an electric mixer or clean hands to mix until thoroughly combined.
• Take a heaping spoonful of the cheese mixture and arrange it to form an eye around one olive, and then the other. Gently lay handfuls of the cheese mixture all around the mask, taking care not to move the slices of prosciutto. Press the cheese down as you work to fill in all of the crevices. When the mask is full, gently press in the cheese mixture all around the mask. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Invert the mask onto a serving platter and gently remove the mask and the plastic wrap. You should be left with a gorgeous (and freaky) face. If there is cheese showing around the bottom edges, use the reserved prosciutto slices to cover it before serving.

SAUSAGE CHEESE DIP - "THE MAN DIP" RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Dice the jalapenos and set aside. (Use as many as you want, depending on the level of spiciness you want). Cook the spicy sausage in a pan; when it's done browning, drain the excess liquid and fat. Add the entire pack of cream cheese and can of tomatoes. The cream cheese will melt and together with the tomatoes, will create a somewhat liquidy texture. The end result should look something like this! It's meaty and creamy, with a hint of spiciness. Don't worry, it doesn't taste like cream cheese at all. To be honest, this entire recipe is easier "done" than "said".

MANLY MAN CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Combine cheese and Rotel tomatoes in microwave safe dish. Microwave until smooth.
• Stir in cilantro, jalepenos, and sausage. Heat another 60 seconds.
• Serve with Fritos.
• If you don't like things too hot cut back on the peppers and use regular Rotel.
• I have also used the reduced fat Velveeta and it still is wonderful.

BEEF A LA "MANLY MAN"

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Season the filet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper and set aside. In a medium saute pan, heat the butter on medium high and add the leeks. Sweat the leeks allowing no color, just cook until clear. Add the cream, 1 clove of the garlic and the blue cheese and turn heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cream has thickened. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
• Place the filet on the hot grill and mark on the both sides. Place the steak in the oven to finish cooking to desired temperature. Medium rare is about 12 to 15 minutes. Pull from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on high heat and add 2 cloves of minced garlic, and cook quickly until golden brown. Add in the spinach and turn heat to medium. Begin turning the spinach until wilted completely. Season with salt and pepper.
• To plate, use a warm plate and place the spinach first. Slice the filet in 1/2, width-wise. Place the bottom half on the spinach and pour 2 tablespoons of the leek mixture on the filet and place the second part of the filet on top. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the leeks on top of the filet. Place 3 to 5 onion rings on top of the filet and serve hot.
• Beer Battered Onion Rings:
• 1 bag batter mix
• 1 dark ale beer
• 1 large red onion, sliced in 1 inch rings
• Heat a fryer or a deep pot halfway filled with oil to 375 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix the batter and beer and whisk until thick. Coat the onion rings and drop into the hot fryer. Fry until golden brown and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess grease. Salt while hot.
