I don’t really pay much attention to football except for one thing: football food. Appetizers, bite-sized little things, and of course any and all dips are all right up my alley.
I’m helping to promote McCormick’s 50 Dips for 50 States effort during the professional football playoffs this weekend with this dip. The McCormick kitchens have been hard at work over the past six months creating a dip for every state. There’s a Maine Lobster and Spinach Dip, an Arizona Cheesy Chimichanga Dip, and 48 more. I made Motor City Coney Dip to represent the state of Michigan and their team. For readers who know me, yes I live in San Diego, but Michigan is the state I was given.
It’s interesting that when most people hear “Coney Island Hot Dog” they think Coney Island, New York, but the popular food actually got its start in Detroit. A Coney Dog is traditionally topped with a savory meat sauce. The dip is easy, ready in about 15 minutes, tastes like cheesy sloppy Joes, and it’s sure to please any crowd. I browned ground beef, added a packet of McCormick® Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix, and after simmering I topped it with cheese and popped it under the broiler.
I cheese-ified McCormick’s original Motor City Coney Dip because in my world cheese makes everything better. Especially when it’s lightly browned and topped with green onions for extra flavor.
This weekend Detroit and Seattle are playing and one of my best blogging friends, Jaclyn of Cooking Classy, is my dip rival. She made Washington’s dip. Go check out her fabulous recipe here.
