saw this on the contessa's show on the food network last night. she serves it with a standing rib roast. i think it has many possibilities, perhaps as a base for a dip with chipped beef? the whole-grain mustard adds great texture. i made this for christmas to go with recipe #95534 (da best chicago-style italian beef) and it was a heavenly combination. this made a lot so i took one and a half cups of the sauce, added about one cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 3 chopped hard-boiled eggs. it was a lovely dip for crackers.
💬 Reviews (I made this dip to serve with our lunch yesterday and it got rave reviews. I asked my family what they thought because I had to rate it and my stepdaughter wanted to give it 10 stars. But since the limit is five, we'll go with that. My husband would also like to try this dip with coconut shrimp, which sounded good too! Thanks dana-MMH for yet another great recipe!)

this is just busting with great orange flavor. i have always been fond of citrus cakes.
💬 Reviews (This wasn't the recipe that I had in mind. I found this recipe a little too sweet and the vanilla pudding overpowering. As a pudding it was okay but for a dip, it wasn't what I was looking for. Thanks for posting though.)
