Creamy Jalapeño Dip

Austin’s Favorite Dip

For those who enjoy creamy jalapeño dip from Chuy’s, here’s an easy way to make your own batch at home. It’s creamy, fresh and has the perfect amount of “kick”. Perfect for game days or any day you want to enjoy Austin’s favorite dipping sauce!

Time To Prepare:

About 10 minutes.

Foodie Tips:

❤  You can use a blender to mix things together but I find that an immersion blender is more convenient and easier to clean. The instructions below are for using an immersion blender.

❤  If you’re going to serve this immediately after making it, try to use chilled sour cream and mayo – the dip tastes great cold!

❤  I used Trappey’s Hot Jalapeño Peppers, sliced them, and removed the seeds.

Ingredients:

½ Cup  |  Fresh Cilantro
1 Cup  |  Sour Cream
1 Cup  |  Mayonnaise
5 Tablespoons (2 1-ounce packages)  |  Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
½ Cup  |  Pickled Jalapeño Peppers
2 Tablespoons  |  Fresh Lime Juice
To Serve  |  Tortilla Chips, Cauliflower Florets, French Fries, a Hamburger Topping, As a Salad Dressing (the list goes on and on…)

What To Do:

1. Wash and dry the cilantro. Remove the tops of the cilantro, discarding the stems. Finger tear the cilantro and place it in a medium-sized bowl.

2. Add the remaining dip ingredients and give them a few immersion pulses until the desired consistency is reached.

3. You can serve this fresh by transferring the dip into a bowl or you can store it in the fridge for a few days until you’re ready to dive in! Serving ideas are above!

Enjoy!

Hamburger Casserole Recipe

Cheers To Mom!

Don’t Moms make the best meals?!

This recipe comes from my Mom’s kitchen in East Texas near Tyler.

This savory dish packs the perfect blend of Frito crunch plus a little bit of Texas kick, compliments of our friend – the jalapeño. Great on game days, chilly days or any day you want a one dish casserole that’s sure to please.

Ingredients:

1 Pound  |  Hamburger Meat
1  |  Onion
1 Can  |  Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can  |  Cream of Mushroom Soup
½ Soup Can  |  Water
To Taste (2-3)  |  Fresh Jalapeño Peppers, Sliced With Seeds
1 Bag  |  Fritos
To Top  |  Velveeta

What To Do: 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Brown meat and onion together in a medium pan.

3. Add the soups and a ½ can of water and the jalapeño pepper. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat.

4. Layer into a ungreased 1.5 quart casserole dish: fritos, meat mixture cheese. Then repeat fritos, meat mixture and cheese on top.

5. Bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve warm.

Yield: 6 – 9 Servings

Food Tips: 

  You can surely use pickled vs. fresh jalapeños if you prefer.

  Enjoy with a side salad and some fresh brewed tea for the home style touch.

  Top with a dollop of sour cream if you want to take down the spicy kick a bit.

Enjoy!
