seven layer taco dip

Our Seven Layer Taco Dip is perfect for any BBQ, party, or Football game.

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, blend 2 cans of refried beans and 3 tbsp taco seasoning with a hand-held mixer.
  2. In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, and the remaining 3 tbsp of taco seasoning with a mixer. Make sure to blend the cream cheese well.
  3. We used a trifle bowl, but any 9×13 dish will work just fine- the layers will be thinner if you use a dish. Begin layering each layer starting with the refried beans, sour cream mixture, guacamole, Pico de gallo, shredded cheddar, and a handful of sliced olives. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Top ours with tomatoes and green onion for color, if desired.

jalapeno cornbread

Cornbread is the ultimate comfort food. Whether you like adding Jalapenos or eating it plain with Honey Butter, (most) everyone loves it.

Jalapeno Cornbread

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. First, preheat the skillet. Put the canola oil in a 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet and place the skillet in the oven. Heat oven to 400°F with the skillet inside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornbread mix and water.
  3. Next, stir in the melted butter, the chopped jalapeños, corn, and cheese.
  4. Once the oven has reached 400°F and the skillet is hot, carefully remove the empty skillet from the oven. Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet, making sure it is smooth.
  5. Then, place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until lightly browned on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Once it is finished baking, let your cornbread rest in the skillet for 10 to 20 minutes before cutting wedges and serving.

*Remember that the skillet will be very HOT. We recommend keeping a pot holder draped over the handle.
