Instructions
Jalapeño Popper Dip
Puree the Jalapeños with about 3 - 4 tbsp water (you should end up with about ¾ cup of pureed jalapeños).
Mix ½ cup of the pureed jalapenos with the cream cheese, and the first measure of Borden® Cheese Finely Shredded Mild Cheddar Shreds and Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds. Add the salt. Mix really well until well combined.
Spread this mix evenly in a 6.5 inch cast iron pan. At this stage the cast iron pan can be covered and stored in the fridge until you are ready to melt it in the oven (up to 24 hours).
When you’re ready to melt the cheese dip, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Sprinkle the extra Borden® Cheese Finely Shredded Mild Cheddar Shreds and Borden® Cheese Mozzarella Shreds and bacon on top. Cover the cheese dip with a tented foil. Bake the cheese dip for 10 - 15 minutes until it’s completely melted. Remove foil and let the surface caramelize for a few minutes (up to 5 minutes). Remove from the oven carefully and serve.
Top with chopped jalapeños and more bacon.
Beef Enchilada Dip
In a non-stick pan, heat a little oil on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and onion and saute until softened.
Add the beef and cook until the ground beef is separated and cooked.
Add the enchilada sauce and mix through. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes.
Season to taste. The beef mix can be stored until needed or immediately used for the dip.
When you’re ready to make the dip, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Add the first measure of Borden® Cheese Finely Shredded Four Cheese Mexican Shreds and mix through with the beef enchilada base. Place this mix in a 6.5 inch cast iron pan. Top with the extra ½ cup of Borden® Cheese Finely Shredded Four Cheese Mexican Shreds.
Cover the cheese dip with a tented foil. Bake the cheese dip for 10 - 15 minutes until it’s completely melted. Remove foil and let the surface caramelize for a few minutes (up to 5 minutes). Remove from the oven carefully and serve.
Top with chopped tomatoes, cilantro and lime wedges.
Apple Bacon and Gouda Cheese Dip
Mix the apple cider or juice with the cream cheese, bacon and first measure of Borden® Cheese Gouda Shreds (leave a little bacon aside to top the cheese dip later). Spread this mix evenly in a 6.5 inch cast iron pan. At this stage the cast iron pan can be covered and stored in the fridge, until you are ready to melt it in the oven (up to 24 hours).
When you’re ready to make the dips, preheat oven to 400° F.
Top the dip with the rest of the ½ cup Borden® Cheese Gouda Shreds and the bacon that was left aside.
Cover the cheese dip with a tented foil. Bake the cheese dip for 10 - 15 minutes until it’s completely melted. Remove foil and let the surface caramelize for a few minutes (up to 5 minutes). Remove from the oven carefully and serve.
Top with some chopped parsley.
