The Best Provolone Pesto Spread

THIS DIP IS A HIT EVERYWHERE YOU TAKE IT AND IT’S EASY TO MAKE!  IT’S LAYERED LIKE LASAGNE.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 30 very thin slices of provolone cheese
  • 3-4 cloves garlic or to taste
  • 2-4 Tblsp sour cream or to taste
  • One small jar sundried tomatoes in oil.  Squeeze out all the oil and cut into bite-size pieces
  • One container of pesto spread.  Drain out all of the oil

Mix together with hand mixer 16 oz of cream cheese, garlic, sour cream.

Line meatloaf pan with enough saran wrap so that it’s hanging over sides and can be brought up and over to cover top completely when the layered spread is complete.

  • Layer provolone cheese slices along bottom and up sides of pan on top of saran wrap with enough cheese so that cheese slices are hanging over the side of the loaf pan a bit.
  • Spread some cream cheese mixture on bottom over layer of cheese
  • Spread some pesto over cream cheese mixture
  • Spread some sundried tomatoes over pesto
  • Spread some thin slices of porovolone cheese over sundried tomatoes
  • Repeat until all ingredients are gone.

Fold provolone cheeses slices over top of spread and then cover any bare spots with additional provolone cheese slices.  Wrap saran wrap over top of spread.  Keep in pan and refrigerate overnight or for about 8 hours during the day.

Put on cutting board and garnish with layer of pesto and some sundried tomatoes.  Serve with bread or crackers. 

This is great if you are having company for the weekend because it lasts for 2-3 days depending on how many people you are entertaining.

Mouth-Watering Rib Preparation

I learned this no brainer rib prep from a restaurant owner and it is the best and easiest I have ever tried.

Place ribs in glass baking dish

Cover ribs with water and tightly wrap with foil

Place pan in pre-heated 360-degree oven for 1 hour

Remove ribs from water and place on cutting board and loosely cover with tin foil.  Let cool to room temp.

Cut ribs to serving size and place in plastic bag with rub and your favorite BBQ sauce so that all ribs are evenly coated. 

Remove ribs from plastic bag and place on medium to hot grill.  Slightly char and fully heat.

Enjoy tender and mouth-watering ribs.

Repeat
