30 Days of Blogging…<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Day 21: A Recipe…<\/b><\/p>\n

Champps Americana<\/a><\/b> is one of my favorite restaurants. More specifically, I LOVE<\/i> their waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. I could make an entire meal out of JUST THAT<\/i>. Some time ago, I Googled for a recipe to replicate their seasoned sour cream. I found one, but when I saved it, apparently I didn’t save the source. I have no idea where I originally found it so I can’t properly credit where I got it from. (Other than the restaurant of course.) I have no idea if it’s the authentic<\/i> recipe or if it’s just something someone concocted to taste the same. It does<\/i> taste almost identical. I haven’t sampled them side by side, but when we made this…it was sooo good<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Bob and I made this as a dip for our wedding party. I had the idea to use it as a chip dip—we weren’t serving waffle fries (or any fries) at our party. But I think it would make an excellent veggie dip as well. You know, if you wanted to do something healthy<\/i> with it. I suppose you could make it with low fat or fat free sour cream and mayo (or Miracle Whip) to make it healthier, but when we made it, we went full-fat and it was excellent.<\/p>\n

Also, if you follow the recipe, plan on using it for a party, or eating it in vast quantities, because it makes A LOT<\/i><\/b>. But I suppose it wouldn’t be difficult to cut it down. It might just take some creative finagling with the dry seasonings since there is such small quantities of each. But I can think of a few ways to make that work too.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Seasoned Sour Cream<\/b><\/p>\n

2 cups mayonnaise
\n2 & 1\/4 cups sour cream<\/p>\n

1\/8 cup lemon juice
\n1 & 1\/8 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

1\/8 cup thinly sliced green onions
\n1\/8 cup finely diced parsley (fresh or dried)<\/p>\n

1\/2 tablespoon garlic powder
\n1 & 1\/8 teaspoons paprika
\n1 & 1\/8 teaspoons onion powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon celery salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon dill weed
\n1\/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
\n1\/4 teaspoon curry powder<\/p>\n

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Mix mayonnaise and sour cream in a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients mixing until well incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.<\/p>\n

Best served with waffle fries. Also goes well with other french fries, potato chips, veggies, or anything else you might want to dip in it. Like a spoon.<\/p>\n
