Suzanne is married to my grandson, Christopher Torgerson. Our family is totally blessed by her. She is a perfect wife for Christopher and an outstanding mother to Schuyler.
Suzanne has hosted many of our family gatherings and she does it with style & grace and always wonderful food . Last week she hosted a jewelry party that I attended. After I tasted one of the dips she served, I just HAD to have her recipe. - Here it is!
Spinach Dip
· 1-10 oz. frozen spinach (thawed, drained & squeezed)
· 2 cups sour cream
· 1 cup Mayonnaise
· 1 can water chestnuts, chopped
· 3 green onions, chopped
· 1 package Knorr Vegetable mix
Combine all ingredients & refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with crackers, vegetables, or beer bread (one of her favorites, so she included that recipe too).
****************************************************************
Beer bread
· 3 cups self-rising flour
· ¼ c. sugar
· 12 oz can of beer
· 4 TBSP melted butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and beer. The batter will be thick, do not over stir it. Pour the dough in the greased pan. Pour 4 tablespoons of melted butter over the top
Bake for 35-40 minutes. (She checks it with a toothpick after 35 minutes- if it comes out clean, it is done.) Remove the bread from the oven & allow to cool. Cut into bite size pieces and enjoy with your favorite dip.
