Kick Off Chili Cheese Dip

By Jamie and Bobby Deen

If y’all know anything about us, you know we love Georgia football. Heck, we love all football…we’ve even been known to watch a powder puff game or two back in the day. One of the best things about college football season is tailgating! There’s something about hanging out in a parking lot with your friends and eating food out of plastic containers or fresh off the grill that makes us both say YUM! Maybe it’s more of a guy thing, but it’s definitely a sure thing for the best Saturday afternoon in the fall!

We’re happy to share another of our many tailgating recipes found in this issue of our magazine, The Deen Bros. Good Cooking. It’s packed with recipes and tips for making your football season a winner! Go Dawgs!

Kickoff Chili Cheese Dip
Makes 12 to 15 servings

2 (15-ounce) cans turkey chili without beans
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder*
Large corn chips

Hi Paula, Thanks for being you and for showing us "fun cooking"...not everyday food but special times call for special food. Please hang in there with the diabetes. I would not have blamed you if you never told anyone...they are so inconsiderate to give you flack like they are now. I realize that when you were the bag lady, you had to make food tastier in order to have business to support your family...! We don't eat like it is Thanksgiving every day or anything else. Us uncritical people know that and we love you. Just hearing your voice is soothing to me and my blood pressure and takes away stress...! That is why I re-run your shows and just listen a lot of the time. love ya'...Marilyn Walsh

I feel terrible that "Some" people are jumping on you about having Diabetes for all these years and not telling.... It's no ones business...and shouldn't matter...People cook what they want ...and it wouldn't have made a difference if they new years ago about your health...they still would have made your receipes ..because they are good....and if they can't be their own judge about what they eat...why blame you.....We all have a choise.....Use moderation..and you can eat anything....Please keep up the great work that you and your Boy's are doing...don't let a few upset you...there are people that just like to complain...and are jealous.....Good for you...Looking forward to many more good receipes....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made this recipe for a Superbowl Party. It was not good! Too much cream cheese! But, I still love Paula Deen.
