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.
