Cheesy Jalapeño Skillet Dip
This Cheesy Jalapeño Skillet Dip recipe is perfect for tailgating or Game Day parties. You can put it together the night before, and cook it right on the grill before everyone arrives. Fresh jalapeno’s give it nice kick and be sure to omit the seeds if you don’t want it spicy. For those who like the burn, feel free to add your favorite peppers or hot sauce. You can really kick up the burn if you want.
It only takes about ½ hour at 350⁰ to get hot and bubbly and be sure to wear heat proof gloves when handling the cast iron skillet because it is extremely hot. The skillet also keeps it warm for a long time, and this dip goes with just about anything on your tailgate spread.
I like it best served with Frito Scoops but you can serve it with any chip, cracker, or even vegetables. Give it a try at your next tailgate party.

Made this today to munch on while waiting for our Thanksgiving turkey to get done. Great recipe and really easy to whip up in just a few minutes and get onto the grill. Thanks for sharing!
Incredible!!! My 11 years old daughter put it together with her uncle’s supervision and we smoked it with our meats. Fantastic appetizer!! Best cheese dip I have ever had. We had it with sweet potato-corn chips.
My husband and I made this dip today. Hands down the best dip we’ve ever had! Highly recommend trying it.
We have made this dip several times, it is a great for all occasions!

Thinking about cooking some Italian sausage, dicing it up and throwing it in this dip with this cheese. Good idea?
