Navy Bean Dip



 Navy Bean Dip Is a "Riff" on one of my favorite soups...

Navy Bean Soup With Ham.

This Dip can be served Cold or Hot.

It's Memorial Day Weekend so I am giving a shout out to all
those US Navy Pilots out there with this delicious
recipe for your weekend fun.

Cheers to all the Branches of the US Military but I am
a bit biased with Navy because my husband John 
was a US Navy Pilot. :)

Navy Bean Dip is creamy and savory and perfect when you
are craving a bold tasty bite of Ham & Beans.


Go NAVY!


Got my orders to get my Bean Dip Flying in the kitchen now. :)


Let's start with the Preflight

Dice up a 1/2 Onion and fuel it into a pot.


Now cleared for takeoff.

Fly in some Thyme, Salt and Pepper then
drop them into the pot (don't crash!)

Pour in some Olive Oil and saute for just a few minutes.


Next mission is to finally dice up some Ham
and just measure with your heart.


Fly the Ham into the pot and circle the field (saute) for
just a few minutes.


Now where are those Navy Guys? Oh, they are right here.

Drain the Navy Beans.


Fly the Navy Beans into a mini food processor
and fire (blend) away.


The Admiral and his crew have ordered some Salt & Pepper
and a drizzle of Olive Oil be bombed into the Navy Beans.

One quick mix because I like my dip with a few chunks.

It's your plane Commander so fly it (whip) till it's creamy as you want. :)

Do the same with the second can of Navy Beans too.


Fly the Navy Bean mixture right into the pot.


The Admiral ordered some Garlic
to taste be Flown into the pot too.


Fly in some Red Pepper Flakes and heat the pot
 just a few minutes to combine all the flavors together.


The Orders Were Given To Have A TASTE!


Gear down and cleared to land.

Eject the pot off the stove and let it cool.


Cover the Navy Bean Dip and tow it directly to the hangar (refrigerator)
till your Squadron is ready to PaRtY. :)


John wore his Dress Whites at our Navy Wedding.


Anchors Away Tooth Pics of course.


Now to make Edible Dipping Boats...

Cheese, Ham, Olives.


Attention on Deck...

Navy Edible Boats Are Ready To Sail.


The Navy Boats Are Ready for Combat. LOL


Yes Sir...

Cold Navy Bean Dip In Cute Dish
Drizzle Of Olive Oil

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

The Navy Pilots Are Ready For A  
Memorial Day Party!

Outrageously Fabulous!


Our Navy Wedding...

Navy Pilots, Dress Whites and Swords!
