I had this packet of spinach dip mix - Popeye's Passion - all it needed was sour cream to make a marvelous dip full of carrots, spinach, celery, onions, and other flavors.

But I didn't have sour cream so I stirred it into cottage cheese. It was really good, but I didn't want to eat it all as dip, so I made hamburger buns and put it in the dough. It's similar to the dilly bread that has cottage cheese in it, but the buns have a better texture than that.



Confetti Buns

3/4 cup cottage cheese
1 package dry soup or dip mix
2 packages yeast in 1/2 cup warm water
1 cup boiling water
5 tablespoons shortening
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
2 cups flour

Dissolve the yeast in the water and let set for 5 minutes. Put shortening into large mixing bowl. Add the boiling water. Mix until shortening is melted. Add cottage cheese mixture, eggs, sugar, salt, 3 cups flour, and the yeast mixture. Beat with mixer for 3 minutes. Add the 2 cups flour and stir by hand until completely mixed. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Not more than 4 or 5 days. Form into hamburger buns. Place in greased cake pan and let set, covered for 3 hours at room temperature. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until lightly browned.
