Baked Cowboy Dip (Party Appetizer) | Food Wishes

[@christophercarlson5835]

I’ve used chorizo before and it’s great, but the varieties available near me were a lot fattier than these sausages so I had to drain off quite a bit of grease.

I grew up with Cowboy Cookies, which were cookies with basically all the cookie fixin’s in them- walnuts, peanuts, macadamia nuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips,coconut, m&ms, raisins, dried cranberries, etc. I’ve always presumed the cowboy in recipe names were just another way of saying stone soup, everything but the kitchen sink, whatever’s in the fridge, etc. I think I like your explanation better.

[@michaelcarey9359]

"Cowboy Cookies"... made with trail mix .

[@Scorpiogangg]

A good way to soften the cream cheese if you forgot to leave it out to become room temperature is to take it out of the package & put it in a microwaveable safe bowl then microwave it for like 10 seconds & then mix it. If it’s still too hard after that, add a couple more seconds but don’t over do it cause it can melt (quickly) if you’re not careful 😊

[@texquin]

I always keep it sealed and place in a bowl with luke warm water, change the water out if needed, but usually soft by the time the other ingredients are prepped.

[@leggingsarepants3175]

WE JUST MADE THIS And OMG We did use chicken tenders instead of sausage. Just did garlic, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne and some red pepper flakes. S&P. Baked those. Then for the cream cheese- Due to the cream cheese shortage I was only able to get 1 block of regular and 1 container of the jalapeño cream cheese. SO good. The rest we did the same. My 3 jalapeños were pretty mild. So much flavor in this we absolutely love it!!! Thanks Chef!!! 😍

[@jimmyzhu1741]

I tried a version of this without the corn and the cheddar when I lived in Texas, and as I made it over the years I ended up adding grated cheese and scallions. Never knew the name of the recipe though. Who knew I'd see it here!

I would just add this comment, that I would recommend using yellow cheddar cheese for this dish. The flavor will be the same, but the white cheese ends up making a funky, unappetizing pink dip the color of raw chicken.
