Football season is in full swing y’all. That means gathering all your people to cheer on your favorite team and eat delicious food together. At least. That’s what it means to me.
The two teams we cheer for, the Packers and the Panthers, are both 6-0, so we’re feeling pretty great about football in our house these days.
Whether your team is at the top, or you’ve resigned yourself to a losing season already, this corn dip is a perfect addition to your next football get-together. It’s got a kick from the jalapeño and spices, includes a variety of cheeses of your choosing, and gets finished off with a squeeze of fresh lime.
Throw it all together in a slow cooker a couple hours before the game starts and you’ll be all set. Fair warning though: this corn dip is addicting. If you find yourself headed back for seconds, thirds, and fourths… Well. I’ll say I told you so.
My version of this recipe was heavily adapted from Chungah’s recipe over on Damn Delicious – her method works great, I just wanted to add a lot more flavor to the finished product! You’re welcome to adapt this recipe – add more spice or leave it out, add different peppers, try different kinds of cheese. Experiment and see what you like best!
