X + Y = ?

You've done it a million times from powdered onion soup + mayo = Superbowl dip to canned orange + canned cranberry sauce = thanksgiving relish.
What two or more pre-made products do you combine to make a dish - or side dish.
Another mayo fave of mine is:
Mayo + Gold's Horseradish (the red one) = a bright pink hot creamy dressing for roast beef sandwiches.

                That one's also really good on those Lil Smokies sausages.

                I run a can of chipotle peppers in adobo and add a tsp of it to allot of things. My family's favorite is chipotle ranch dressing

                      Onion soup mix + Sour cream=Dip.....I've never done it with mayo.

                      Vanilla ice cream + Ice cold coke = Purple cow

                        We called a purple cow vanilla ice cream + thawed concord grape juice concentrate.

                      Ground ginger + seltzer + sweetner = ginger ale.

                        Beer + Ice Cream = Beer float

                        Banana Nut Bread + Tapioca Pudding = Heaven

                          Red box wine + diet orange sprite = sangria. I swear, it tastes like sangria.

                            Ooooooh...diet orange Sprite? I haven't seen that! But that combo sounds divine, especially in the summer. I will DEFINITELY try that one!

                            1 can Rotel + 1/2 can El Pato = my favorite quick salsa

                            (great topic!)

                            1. Suzy Q Feb 8, 2008 03:56 PM

                              Cream cheese + salsa + 10 seconds in the microwave = YUM with baked potatoes, chips, or just about anything else that doesn't run away from me.

                              Mayo + ketchup + sweet pickle relish = Thousand Island dressing in a pinch

                              Peanut butter + honey = great spread for toast

                                mayo + ketchup + mustard + chopped pickles (ok, a little work's involved) = awesome burger sauce... almost resembling the BigMac sauce.

                                sour cream or creme fraiche + horseradish = perfect sauce for roast beef

                              2. ajs228 Feb 8, 2008 02:40 PM

                                Bagged salad + Tyson chicken fingers + red pepper vinagrette = healthy dinner when I don't feel like cooking.

                                  does velveeta and rotel count?

                                  1. kpzoo Feb 8, 2008 01:58 PM

                                    (butter + honey + pinch salt) X whipped-with-a-hand-mixer = delicious spread for cornbread
