We had a super fun Saturday
A little batting practice as we entertained friends and watched football on the patio
It was chilly enough to light the fire around 4 pm
58 degrees was quite a difference than the 98 degrees we experienced 2 weeks ago!
Chilly enough for a nice hot and hearty dip!
This easy to make party dip will put a spell on your guests!
Brown the sausage and saute the onion & celery in the drippings
Add to a slow cooker with the drained corn and tomatoes
Top with cream cheese and white cheddar
Set the pot to low and cover
After about 1 hour, the cheese will be mostly melted
Stir and then add sour cream and remaining cheddar and stir again
Cover and let dip continue to cook on low for another hour
Serve with scoop style corn chips and provide a large serving spoon
Big E & CC were eating this like a vegetable side dish!
We nibbled on it all through the afternoon and evening
Some of us got quite energized!
A great day with family, friends, football and music!
HOCUS POCUS PARTY DIP
Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- 8 oz white cheddar grated
- 4 oz cheddar or Mexican blend grated
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cans 16 oz each sweet corn, drained
- 1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies drained
- 1/2 lb mild or hot Italian sausage or breakfast sausage
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 2 cups chopped celery
- Salt & pepper
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Cook sausage in a skillet until browned and crumbly. Remove to paper towels to drain. Saute onion and celery in sausage drippings over medium heat until cooked through and softened, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer sausage, onion and celery to a sprayed slow cooker. Add drained corn and tomatoes. Cut cream cheese into 8 cubes and scatter on top of vegetables. Top with grated white cheddar. Cover and cook 1 hour.
- Stir to mix in cheeses. Add sour cream and remaining cup of cheddar. Stir again and recover. Dip should be hot and ready for serving after another hour. Dip will hold on low setting for quite a while. If your cooker has a warm setting you can turn it to warm.
- Serve dip with scoop style corn chips and a large spoon so guests can put a big dollop on their plates
- This makes an ample amount, approximately 8-10 cups. Refrigerate and reheat leftovers
Enjoy if you dare!
