Avocado Filling (Or Spread or Dip)
"I love Avocados and look forward to them every summer. This recipe began life as a filling for stuffed tomatoes, but it's also yummy as a sandwich spread or dip. (or by the spoonful!)"

Fantastic spread! I used it on wholegrain wheat bread with sliced rotisserie chicken breast, and a slice of tomato. I used a diced jalapeno instead of green pepper. Great flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
This avocado recipe has a wonderful flavor when eaten directly from the bowl. Avocado and bacon work so well together. I used the packaged "real bacon pieces" and I should have known better. They were fatty and chewy. I highly recommend using your own crispy fried bacon instead. DH and I tried it with corn tortilla chips, but the flavor of the chips overpowered all but the avocado flavor. I am going to use the remainder on a turkey and swiss sandwich for lunch tomorrow. I will make this again using real bacon! Thanks for a good recipe Ma. Made for Fall PAC 08.

40-something wife and Mom who's biggest kick is cookin' cheap and flavorful. A day of frugal living is only fun if you have a good dinner after!
I tend not to post my recipes because I cook by the seat of my pants. No, not *on* the seat...
I cook with what's available and draw liberally from my spice carousel. Just spin that thing like the money wheel on "The Price is Right"! My friend says I should open a restuarant. We've decided to call it "Whatchagot Cafe".
