Bertinelli’s Southwestern Egg Rolls With Salsa Dipping Sauce

With shredded cheese, frozen corn, canned black beans, canned green chiles, and frozen spinach, the TV culinary star’s handy and delicious snack couldn’t be easier. A good quarter-cup of the just-spicy-enough filling is placed onto egg roll wrappers. The egg rolls are then baked in a preheated 425-degree F oven for about 20 minutes.

Don’t skip Bertinelli’s salsa: reviewers reported it was worth making from scratch.

“I love the salsa. I make it often. The family loves, loves, loves the rolls,” one home cook said. Another reviewer added, “Crazy good and inexpensive to make for a crowd. I’ve made them countless times.”

The Food Network star’s Mini Bell Pepper Poppers with Bacon are a flavorful appetizer

With just six ingredients, Bertinelli’s cheesy bell pepper snacks are the perfect party finger food.

Mini bell peppers are cut in half and cleaned, then filled with a mixture of cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, chopped Fresno pepper, chopped crisp bacon, and milk. They’re baked for 15 minutes in a 400-degree oven and served hot.

“Everyone raves about how good it was! As an added benefit it was very easy to make,” one home cook wrote on Food Network’s site.

Another satisfied fan said, “These were easy and very tasty. Great nibble with wine.”

Bertinelli’s Spicy Feta Dip is a quick snack

The beauty of this snack is it comes together quickly: roasted red pepper, Calabrian chile paste, salt, and garlic are chopped in a food processor. The feta cheese, broken up first, is added and pulsed “until the feta is incorporated into the pepper mixture.”

Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then serve. Bertinelli suggests serving “with crackers, veggies, on sandwiches or burgers.” However you serve this dip, it’ll be gobbled up in no time.

A home cook wrote on Food Network’s site, “I don’t know if it will end up in the refrigerator for the 30 minutes before we dig in.”
