Tailgate Treats: All of the Dips {Part Two}

I can't believe how quickly college football season is going by.  We have just one more home game and just two more games in the regular season (other than a bowl game).  Like always, I'm wishing the season was a little bit longer than it actual is but at least we've gotten another great season under our belts.

I'm sharing my final of our tailgate recipes this week - in time for everyone to give them a try before season's over.  Today it's all about the dips again (you can see part one with tailgate dip and sausage dip  here). and both are on the mexican side as well as eaten with tostitos.

If you missed the previous tailgate treats from this season, you can find them below…

Mexican Layer Dip:
We used to get a delicious mexican layer dip at Wegman's (their tailgate stuff in State College is the best!) but it was always too much dip and we'd wind up throwing half out.  It seemed maybe easier to make our own, customized to what we liked on it.  We used the Wegman's dip as guide and the new dip turned out delicious.

Ingredients:

 can refried beans

guacamole

sour cream

cheddar cheese

cherry tomatoes 

black olives

Directions:

+ spread the refried beans on the bottom of the pan, be generous, we used the whole can

+ spread guacamole on top of the beans, again be generous (who doesn't love guac)

+ spread sour cream on top of the guacamole

+ sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the sour cream

+ top on the center with diced tomatoes and then olives

Black Bean Salsa:
In addition to just serving regular salsa with our mexican type dips, we really wanted to try out a homemade heartier salsa this year.  Enter black bean salsa - so easy to make and had my  house smelling delicious until serving time.  The only downfall - it makes a huge batch so be ready to eat!

Ingredients:

can of black beans

can of white shoepeg corn

two cans rotel

green pepper

red pepper

garlic seasoning

Directions: 

+ chop the peppers and add into the bowl

+ add the can items: black beans, corn and rotel

+ sprinkle in some garlic seasoning

+ blend together and enjoy
