Maybe it’s the fat kid in me, but there are few things I find more comforting than relaxing with family on a Saturday, watching college football and munching all day on dips. Granted, the whole experience is much more relaxing when our team actually wins, but it’s not a bad time either way.

Cheesy Mexican Corn Dip

Packed with creamy flavor, this cheesy Mexican corn dip is the perfect easy appetizer for your next party, and it’s perfect for enjoying on game day.

Packed with creamy flavor, this cheesy Mexican corn dip is the perfect easy appetizer for your next party, and it's perfect for enjoying on game day.

This dip is kind of a big deal. By big deal, I mean it’s crazy addictive and I may or might not have eaten as a meal on more than one occasion. But corn is a vegetable, so it’s all good, right?

My mother-in-law has been making this recipe for several years; it doesn’t feel like a real game-watching gathering until the cheesy Mexican corn dip appears. I love college football, especially when the Bulldogs are playing, but I’d be lying if I said this dip- along with brown sugar bacon-wrapped sausages– isn’t the reason I look forward to Saturdays.

Like so many great dip recipes, this one couldn’t be easier to make. If you buy pre-shredded cheese, the only real prep you have to do is dicing the green onions. You can make that step even easier by cutting them with kitchen shears. When that’s done, all that stands between you and this lovely dip is a little bit of mixing.

The recipe is ready to be served immediately, but we think it tastes even better when the flavors get a chance to hang out in the fridge for a while. Make it the night before your party or game and you’ll have one less thing to worry about the day of.

It isn’t game day without a big bowl of this quick and easy, perfectly spicy, melted cheese goodness known as green chile white queso dip.

It isn't game day without a big bowl of this quick and easy, perfectly spicy, melted cheese goodness known as green chile white queso dip.

School is officially back in session for a lot of the country, including us Mississippians. As a teacher, there’s pretty much only one thing that makes me eager to leave behind lazy summer days in favor of going back to work: The allure of fall. It’s right around the corner and, were it not for the oppressive humidity that’s a mainstay in The South this time of year, I’d probably be able to feel it.

It isn't game day without a big bowl of this quick and easy, perfectly spicy, melted cheese goodness known as green chile white queso dip.

In addition to cooler fall temperatures, I’m looking forward to cozy sweatshirts, all things pumpkin, and, most of all, football season.

We’re just about as stereotypical as you might imagine football fans in The South to be. I can just about guarantee we’ll be cheering on our team in person if they’re playing at home, and we catch most every away game on TV. It isn’t just the game itself that’s important, though; it’s the whole ritual of gathering with family and grazing on favorite foods throughout the day.

It isn't game day without a big bowl of this quick and easy, perfectly spicy, melted cheese goodness known as green chile white queso dip.

Because you can’t really have a game day celebration without a dip or three, I made this green chile white queso dip. It’s quick to prepare and is basically a block of shredded white cheddar cheese with a few additional ingredients to make it a smooth, flavorful dip. This cheese dip is best enjoyed right after it’s made, so I love to pair it with some easy make-ahead options, like baked chicken taquitos, double chocolate brownies, or spinach and artichoke dip.

While I was at Family Dollar grabbing some game day staples, like Coca-Cola™, I found Wise Nacho Cheese Tortilla chips that ended up being so good dipped in this queso. Like, insanely good. [Read more…]
