Million Dollar Tailgating Dip

This Million Dollar Tailgating Dip is SO good. It’s everything a good tailgating dip should be; warm gooey cheese, smokey meats, spicy kick from jalapeños and eaten with corn chips. Every now and again it’s nice to partake in something so delicious and to serve it for friends who can share in it’s deliciousness with you.

I’ve lately been on a smoked chorizo kick. In a soon to come post, I have been using the chorizo with corn, jalapeños and lime juice to make a sauce over some fresh grilled fish. In making that slurry of goodness I realized it would also be delicious with cheese as a dip. So this Million Dollar Tailgating Dip was born.

We love spicy things here so I use 2 jalapeños and leave some seeds and ribs in. But if you don’t like spicy then just use one jalapeño and make sure to remove all the seeds and ribs. The cream cheese and cheddar cut down on the spiciness of the pepper. It won’t be too much heat I promise.

Bacon and Chorizo are both used in this bad boy to amp up the smokey meat flavor. Yes, yes, yes! It’s beyond. I think those two combined is why I’m calling it Million Dollar Tailgating Dip. It’s just worth every stinking calorie. I use smoked chorizo. It’s shelf stable and usually with International foods or near Latin foods at your grocery store. I generally buy the Goya brand but any of them would be great. You can always get it from Amazon too. Here’s my affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3fyV5nK

I serve this with a variety of corn chips, blue corn, white corn and Fritos. The Fritos are my favorite, but I let everyone choose their favorite. Plus the blue corn looks so pretty. That’s important right? 😉

So whether you like to tailgate watching football, soccer, hockey, or basketball you have something new and interesting to bring with you or serve at your place for friends. Enjoy and I hope your team wins!!
