dip recipes – Hangry Hannah

The real title of this recipe could be “Antoni’s recipe for Jonathan Van Ness’s favorite queso“, but that’s really a mouth full. This is the perfect white queso with some green chilis and chorizo mixed in. It is one of my absolute favorite dips, be careful you may just eat the whole thing on your own. Serve it with tortilla chips, but another good way is serving it with some whole wheat crackers, tastes like a freaking hanky-panky. If you don’t know what a hanky-panky is I don’t think you should read these posts anymore.

Ingredients

1 LB White American Cheese, chopped
1 Cup Whole Milk
2 TBSP Unsalted Butter
1/2 TSP Ground Cumin
1/4 TSP Garlic Powder
1 4.5oz can Chopped Green Chiles
6 oz Fresh Chorizo, casing removed [If I can’t find chorizo I go for any spicy sausage in the store, it’s still delicious]
Tortilla Chips & Crackers for serving

Let’s Get Cooking

In a large heatproof bowl combine the cheese + milk + butter + cumin + garlic powder. Fill a medium pot with about 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a gentle simmer. Place the heatproof bowl with the cheese mixture on top and stir gently until the mixture is melted and gently bubbling.

Stir in the green chilis and remove from the heat.

While the cheese is melting, cook the chorizo in a medium skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Make sure to be breaking up the sausage into small pieces. Cook until crispy and remove from heat.

Pour cheese into a serving bowl and transfer chorizo into the cheese mixture using a slotted spoon. Stir in the chorizo and enjoy!

Made with Love,

We all know Mary Berry, like the good old Great British Bake Off Mary Berry. Well, this isn’t who we are talking about. My best friend has about 1000000 nicknames for her mom and Mary Berry happens to be one of them. This is that Mary Berry’s bean dip [Thanks for the recipe MB!]. It’s cheesy, it’s tart, and you’re going to want to eat the whole dish. It’s perfect for your next holiday party when you have no clue what to bring. Make sure you serve with loads of tortilla chips.

Ingredients

1 Block of Cream Cheese
1 Can Hormell Chili, NO BEANS!
1/2 Bag Shredded Cheddar Cheese
LOTS of Tortilla Chips

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the oven to 375F

Spread the cream cheese in an even layer in a pyrex dish. Top with the chili and spread evenly. Sprinkle loads of cheese on top.

Place in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese on top is all melty.

Remove from the oven and resist the urge to eat it right away, trust me it will burn the shit out of you and you’re going to hate yourself. I’ve been there, done that.
