Everyone needs a few good dip recipes in their life, am I right?

Ironically, with ALL of the recipes I share with you here, many of top posts are dips.

Hot Beef & Bean Dip - An Affair from the Heart

Because, well, FOOTBALL, and it’s a perfect excuse to share a new dip recipe with you!

Hot Beef & Bean Dip

A couple of weeks ago, my hubby stopped at an estate sale a mile or so from our house.  I will tell you guys, that kind of thing is not my bag.  Something about going through other people’s stuff?  I don’t know what it is?  Anyway — they had an entire ROOM full of Nebraska Cornhusker Stuff.  You name it, they had it.  So, of course, he came home with a bunch of miscellaneous things, including this cookbook.

I started flipping through this treasure from 1992,  and dog-eared a bunch of recipes I want to try.  This particular one was called “Touchdown Meat Dip.”  I wasn’t a huge fan of the name, because one, this isn’t just for football?  It’s perfect for anytime, AND you could make it at home, on a grill or even over a campfire.  Two, ‘meat dip’ just wasn’t working for me.  So Touchdown Meat Dip — meet Hot Beef & Bean Dip.

The original recipe also called for keeping it warm in a fondue pot, which I don’t own, so this could totally be made then kept warm in a crock pot.  I liked the idea of using a cast iron skillet though.  I made everything in one pan, and we ate right out of it.

  1. That dip has me drooling! I love dips, and especially the hot thick ones that I can call a snack but eat enough for a meal. I loved that cookbook too. It looks old school. Some of them are the best!

  2. This dip looks delicious! What kind of chili sauce do you use? Sriracha? Frank’s Red Hot? Or, a tomato based chili sauce like Heinz makes?
