It's football season, y'all! I love my Dawgs and all but let's be honest - the best thing about football season is cheese dip + socially-appropriate day drinking. Here's a new cheese dip I dreamed up to fulfill all your tailgate hopes and dreams.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 min
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb chorizo sausage (they make an awesome chicken chorizo sausage at Sprouts, or you can use any kind of pork chorizo)
- 15oz can of corn, drained
- 1 can rotel, NOT drained (I used original, hot would be good too)
- 3/4 C black beans, drained
- 1/3 C diced white onion
- 1 8oz block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 8oz block pepper jack cheese, shredded (shred your own- it's worth it!!)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
1) Heat a medium-sized skillet over med-high heat with a splash of olive oil
2) Once the skillet is hot, add chorizo and white onion and cook until chorizo is looked through, breaking it up as it cooks into small pieces
3) In a large mixing bowl, stir cream cheese, HALF of the pepperjack, rotel, corn, black beans, chorizo and onion until well combined
4) Add mixture to a greased 8x8 pan and sprinkle with remaining pepperjack
5) Bake for 15 minutes at 375 and then broil for about 5 extra minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly.
