Definitely!

1 can far free cream of celery

2 bricks low fat cream cheese

2 bags pepperoni (chopped up)

Throw it all in the crock pot and stir every so often for about 2-3 hours. Keep it on high for the first hour then turn it to low for the remainder of the time. The dip will be orange (from the pepperoni fat) when it's done. I just ate it with a spoon but everyone else used tortilla chips. Yum!

This sounds so yum!!! Gotta love football season!

The ones I used to make for my kids when they were young were turkey meatballs with rice mixed in. The rice cooks, swells, and sticks out of the meatballs 'porcupine-like'. My kids loved it. My son would eat anything that looked weird - it's a little boy thing. :-)

Can you use brown rice instead of white Gummy rice in the meatballs?

I don't see why not

[OleHippieGal 275]

I don't see why not

Cool, i would like to make them as healthy as possible. I try not to eat much rice. But this is something my husband would eat

I'm making meatballs with Mashed potatoes. Substituting ground beef for ground Turkey. Throwing in a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder in the meat as I season it. And a scoop in the potatoes as I mash them. With Greek yogurt to sub the sour cream
