Submitted by Lisa S., DE RN
Optional Dipping Sauce: Sweet & Sour Sauce or Sweet Chili Sauce
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, chives, onion powder, salt, and sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined. 2. Assemble the wontons: Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with
water. Place 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper. Bring the edges of the wrapper together in the middle, pressing firmly to seal and form a small package. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. 3. Cook the wontons: Lightly spray the
assembled wontons with olive oil spray. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F for 7-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. 4. Serve: Enjoy the wontons on their own or serve with sweet and sour sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
CHILI CHEESE DIP “Of all the recipes I make this one is my most requested and it is the easiest! The original recipe called for 1lb of sausage and 1lb of ground beef, but the nurse in me couldn’t do 2lbs of meat in a dip, so I changed it to 1lb of hot sausage and my husband liked it even better. A win for the arteries and simpler for me to make!” -Joy

Submitted by Joy F., FL RN
Instructions
1. Cook the sausage: In a skillet, fry the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and set aside. 2. Prepare the cheese: Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes for easier melting.
3. Assemble in crockpot: Spray the inside of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray (this step will make cleanup much easier). Add the two cans of chili and hot sauce (if using) to the crockpot. Top with the Velveeta cheese cubes and cooked sausage.
4. Cook: Cover and heat on low for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the dip is smooth. 5. Serve: Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
