What are some great dip recipes?
A- Since you are looking for something that the guys will love, we will steer clear of reduced calorie dips and just go whole hog on this one. I am going to throw two of my favorites out there, familiar to those who attend any of my own gatherings. I will use any excuse to make these, and you will too.
Meaty Cheese Dip (Spicy)
Ingredients
16 ounces of Jimmy Dean® sausage
1 pound ground beef
12 ounces of Velveeta® Cheese
9 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
8 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons hot pepper flakes
Grill sausage, remove grease. Cook ground beef in a skillet, drain grease well, season with salt and pepper to taste. Reserving ground beef aside, in electric cheese dip pan or similar, warm all remaining ingredients. Once warm, top or stir in the ground beef. Serve with your favorite chips. At our gatherings, Doritos® seems to be the chip of choice.
Big Tex
Ingredients
1 lb Velveeta Mexican® Cheese
12 ounces cream cheese
3 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch green onion, tops only, chopped
3-6 jalapenos, seeded and chopped (add to taste. Diced green chili is another superb option.)
2-3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
Black Pepper to taste
Melt cheeses and then stir in all other ingredients. Serve warm.
If you want leftovers, you may want to double the batch. The dish is always empty when we are done!
