Tailgating is a major tradition of our family. Through our Panthers tailgate, I have met some lifelong friends one of which has become seriously one of my closest girlfriends. We have watched the people in our tailgate family celebrate major milestones, get married, have babies and so much more. So you can imagine that the idea that tailgate this year will look a little different is hard. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t create our own tailgate at home and the most amazing part of any tailgate is the food, obvi.
Y’all this was soooo delicious! It has the perfect amount of heat so it’s not too spicy and I love that it’s so much more than just a basic queso dip. Plus, the crisp corn adds a bit of sweetness that breaks up that subtle hint of spice. It was a huge hit in our house during the first Panthers game of the season! Tyler even mentioned that it would be great to heat up and pour over a burger so you can imagine what we’re most likely having for dinner tonight.
