In honor of the New Orleans Saints first trip to the Super Bowl, the cooks at The Star-Herald had a pre-game feast on Monday. All of the dishes were sampled and found to be delicious. We hope that you enjoy these recipes.

Combine all ingredients. Serve chilled with chips or crackers.

Black Bean Dip

1-1/2 cups canned corn, drained

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 cup red onions, diced

1 to 2 jalapenos, diced

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/2 cup olive oil

1/3 cup fresh cilantro

Seasoning to taste

Saute hamburger meat, onions and garlic together and add the mixture to red beans and cook for about 4 or 5 hours in crock on high setting.

About one hour before serving, put in the sausage and cook for last hour. Add enough Creole seasoning to taste. Serve over fresh rice, with hot french bread and cold ice tea.
