I can’t believe it’s already October! Where on earth did September go? Well, I don’t know about you guys but our weekends are spent mostly running around, going on family outings, doing yard work and just bumming around the house. When there’s a game going on, the television is most definitely on and my husband is watching with a beer in hand.
When we’re not in football or basketball season, my husband gets out voted and has to sit through one, maybe two Barbie movies or Strawberry Shortcake or whatever my kids are obsessed with at the time. And he’s fine with it.
But when we’re in the midst of football or basketball season, all bets are off and he owns the upstairs television.
And when it’s game time, you gotta have a cold beer and something totally ooeey, gooey and cheesy to munch on, right? Something you can eat with your hands or chips because you don’t have time for forks and spoons. This is the philosophy I try to follow at least.
With my move to Wisconsin, I knew I’d be surrounded by delicious cheese but the bratwurst thing was new to me. Bratwursts are huge here and we’ve embraced it, y’all. We always have brats now. Â . in the fridge, in the freezer . . and my husband has perfected a beer poaching method that is absolutely delicious.
So, one day we had a few leftover bratwursts and the awesomely delicious Wisconsin Chipotle Cheddar cheese above and some magic happened. This dip ain’t pretty. I mean, come on, most dips aren’t. But this one. .
This one is so good. I added tiny bits of cornichons and jalapeños and we devoured this with pretzel bread and tortilla chips. So good. I don’t even remember who was playing or what game we were watching. I just remember that we scarfed this down and this dip is so happening again. .  maybe even this weekend?
You can find the recipe here for Wisconsin Cheese and Dairy Dips. I hope you enjoy!!
