Snack Ideas for High School Work Event: Delicious Dips and More (No Beans, Please!)

Ranch Oyster crackers - very good and they make an ice cream gallon bucket full.
Schnecka ( means snail in German) just roll out some pie dough and sprinkle with a sugar and cinnamon mix, roll up like a jelly roll and slice 1/4" thick and bake good warm or cold and can be frozen.
 
A simple dip that’s always a hit in my house is mixing cream cheese & pace picante sauce & served cold with tortilla chips. I also like taking a block of velvets (I use the off brand) a pound of breakfast sausage, a block of cream cheese, & 2 cans of rotel (1 drained, 1 with juice) and heating it all together in a crock pot
 
Spinach dip!
3 boxes frozen spinach..drain well overnight and squeeze out all moisture!
1 1/2cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup miracle whip...this is the only thing I use miracle whip for.. Trust me
1 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion salt, and dill..or more😏
Black pepper, hot sauce..A few drops
6 green onions, chopped
1red pepper, chopped
1can water chestnuts, drained and chopped ..sometimes I use radishes instead..I often just chop all veg at once in food processor
Mix everything but the spinach..I just use a gallon zippie..I like to do this the night before while the spinach drains..keep overnight in fridge so flavors develop
Mix in spinach the next morning..adjust for seasoning if necessary.. Sometimes it needs salt
I hollow out a round loaf and toast it and its croutons in the oven, then cool.and fill the bread with dip, serving bread chunks or cubes on the side
I like it best with dark rye or pumpernickel
I have made this for over 30 years..people always request it

Jalapeno popper dip: wearing vinyl gloves remove stem seeds and ribs from 6 jalapeno. Remove stem from 1 jalapeno. Cook and drain 1/2# bacon. (Could use real bacon bits) Cut bacon and jalapenos in 3rds and place in food processor. Pulse several times to chop. Put bacon and jalapenos in crock pot. Add 2 bricks cream cheese, 1 C milk/half & half, 1 C sour cream/greek yogurt/mayonnaise, 1 C shredded cheese (whatever you have on hand). Can also add 1C frozen corn or 1 can corn that had been drained. (I think 1 can of black beans rinsed thoroughly might be good too!) Heat on low and stir occasionally. Serve with tortilla chips.
 
Oven scrambled eggs: grease a half sheet pan and add 1/2 stick butter. Place in oven. Preheat oven to 300 (butter will melt). in lg bowl crack 20 eggs, 1C milk/half & half, 1C cooked crumbled and drained sausage/bacon/ham, 1C shredded cheese. You could also add 1 C defrosted shredded or cubed hashbrowns. When oven preheated carefully remove pan and add egg mixture to pan. Put back in oven. Every 7-10 min stir with oven proof spatula scraping the sides and bottom of pan. Remove from oven when eggs are just set. Eggs will continue to cook when cooling. After 10 min cut in squares for breakfast sandwiches on muffins, toast or buns. Can be cut in strips and rolled in tortillas for breakfast burritoes. You could substitute chorizo for sausage and add 1 C pinto or black beans that have been rinsed thoroughly. Can also add chopped veggies of your choice. Mixture could also be put into greased muffin/mini pan and baked, then put into freezer bags to freeze. Might need to use 2 sheet pans if they are shallow.
