Roasted Corn & Black Bean Queso Dip

I know I said I was going to post a soup recipe today, but I decided that sharing this dip could not be delayed one moment longer.  But FYI, I did post a gumbo recipe over at Endless Simmer that you should check out.


This dip is the most unappetizing color, but it tastes so very good.  I mean, just look at the ingredients.  It will be a party in your mouth, for sure.

Make it for a regular old day or for a football party.  That way while people are watching football, you can station yourself by the delicious chip & dip station.  What?  Not saying that happened to me or anything...

Roasted Corn & Black Bean Queso Dip

2 ears corn
butter (for rubbing the corn)
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
8 oz block of pepper jack cheese, cut in cubes
8 oz block of mozzarella cheese, cut in cubes
1/4 cup cream cheese (low fat or not)
1/4 cup salsa
2 tbsp (or more) hot sauce

Throw your corn in the microwave (still in the husks) and microwave for 3 minutes.  Once it is cool enough to handle, peel back the husks, remove the strings and rub with butter.
Sear on a gas grill until roast-y looking.  You can also sear it over the flame of a gas stove.
While that is cooling, dump your remaining ingredients in a small crockpot or a pot.
Then cut the corn of the cob and add it in.
Stir until perfectly melty and what not.

Enjoy!

Super Bowl Recipe Ideas

I'm totally not into organized sports.  I'm not even gonna lie.  I like to kick and throw a football, but don't care to watch other people do it.


What I do like about football, though is that it often involves snacks.  I like snacks.

So, if you are going to a Super Bowl party this Sunday and need some recipe ideas, here's some crowd pleasers:

Lay out this crispy and delicious meat and let people assemble some mouthwatering tacos.  You will everyone's favorite person.

C'mon, it's February.  Makes some stew.  It's perfect football food.

Because you're worth it.  Yeah, maybe jog around the block earlier in the day to make up for this madness.

Yep, these are naughty.  They will please football fans, for sure!

I appreciate any opportunity to sneak in some veggies ;)


Don't be trifling.  Make this awesome & simple dessert.

This sock monkey could easily be modified to be a football guy.  I can picture it now.

Nobody will suspect a thing.  They'll only taste yummy-ness, not healthiness.

Another secretly "skinny" recipe.  Who doesn't love a cupcake?

Ok, enjoy the game or whatever.  Who are the teams again?  No matter.  I'm off to make something on this list.
