I love me a good cookbook from time to time. It helps me find new recipes to try and ideas to put together new dishes of my own. Schweid and Sons sent me over a link to their cookbook, and I liked what I saw, so I had to give a shot at one of their recipes.
This amazing Taco Beer Cheese Cheesy Taco Beer Dip with a Taco Seasoning Recipe from scratch!Dip caught my eye, and I couldn’t resist but put together my own taco seasoning for the recipe!
This Taco Beer Cheese Dip is great to throw together for a get together, game night or watching your team get knocked out of the playoffs. Yeah 2 weeks later, I’m still salty about my LA Kings being eliminated. But stuffing my face with this Cheesy Taco Beer Dip helps me get through this.
I also used Schweid And Sons ground beef, and I’ve honestly have to say, the quality is top notch. Coming from working at a meat department in my younger days I can spot good quality ground beef a mile away! Good quality grind, not too much fat, and very fresh!
Which brings me to their free cookbook, “This is Not A Hamburger Cook Book“, contains over 40 ways to to use ground beef that for dishes besides burgers. A lot of good looking recipes in there so make sure you give it a look!
This Cheesy Taco Beer Dip immediately caught my eye and I had to make it. It is a very simple dip to put together – using my homemade beer, and lots of cheese (two of my faves) and is a very flexible recipe to put together.
I’m also including my taco seasoning recipe from scratch, and if you want to get a little fancy try using my pico de gallo recipe as well for the salsa!
The taco seasoning that I put together is a simple traditional taco seasoning. With a little smokiness from some smoked paprika that I just can’t get enough of, it gives it a breath of life into the taco seasoning! It goes really well in this Cheesy Taco Beer Dip.
Honestly, I don’t even know how I got through life before smoked paprika.

Absolutely perfect of the party season that is just about to hit us! Cheese, beer, beef, what’s not to love.
Now thats what I call party food. I never make my opwn dips.. will definitely be trying this my kids would love it.
Now that is some delicious game day food. It would last long in our house, that’s for sure!
Cheesy taco BEER DIP? Holy moly that sounds incredible. Definitely going on the must-try list! 😀
That sounds fantastic, I rarely make my own dips, I really should try harder 😀
This is the dip that I want to see at the parties! Cheesy… with lots of taco chips. Looks very tasty!
It was really good! I can see it being used for toppings on other dishes too!
I have made a cheese and beer dip with Guinness, and they love them together. The addition of beef and taco seasonings does sound great, and I love the addition of smoked paprika… It’s one of my favorite ingredients!
Smoked Paprika is the best! I’d probably stay with a light beer because of the taco seasoning instead of a stout, pacifico would go nicely!
This looks seriously good! Pinning 🙂
Thanks Natasha!
Oh this looks really good!
I haven’t made cheese dip in forever! (Not since leaving Texas) I bet my husband would go crazy for this though!
Thanks for the post…
It’s really good, I’m going to make it with some jalapeno on my next batch!
You may be my favorite person in the world right now! I love spicy! YUM!
Oh I love this a cheesy spiced dip with beef too. I’ll have a large vat please!
Shipping now.. Thanks Helen!
You’ve got he right accompaniment, beer! I agree with you I fell the same way about smoked paprika! Don’t know how I got along without it! Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
It’s really the best! I have a big jar of regular paprika that I never touch anymore since I started my love affair with the smoked stuff!
