Fired Up Football Dips

Most people host a Super Bowl Party, we host a Super Bowl Barbecue. If you’re looking for a sure-fire way to spice up your party or next barbecue, serve these crowd-pleasing, lip-smacking dips! The common ingredient is zesty Pace Picante sauce. Pace  provided it at no charge and asked us to share our favorite dishes using their product. Here are the two dips we chose, but rest assured there are many uses for Pace Picante sauce when planning to barbecue!

Firehouse Bean Dip

3 jalapenos, finely chopped

1 Tablespoon prepared garlic
1 Tablespoon Morton’s Hot Salt

Melt butter. Add beans and cook over low heat mashing and stirring until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and cook until cheese melts, stirring often. Keep on low heat until ready to serve.
