Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Large skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Cutting Board
- Chef Knife
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- Burnt Ends Chopped 2 Cups
- Cream Cheese 8 Oz
- Shredded Cheddar 1 Cup
- Bbq Sauce 1/2 Cup
- Sour Cream 1/4 Cup
- Garlic Powder 1 Tsp
- Smoked Paprika 1/2 Tsp
- Green Onions 2 Tbsp
Instructions
- Chop your burnt ends into very small pieces. Make sure they are bite-sized for easy dipping. Small cubes distribute the flavor better in cheese.
- Place your skillet over medium heat on the stove. Add the chopped meat to the warm pan. Sear the meat for three minutes until crispy.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream. Stir them until they are very smooth and soft. Add the BBQ sauce and stir again well.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar and the spices now. Mix until the cheese is spread out evenly. Do not overmix or it will get tough.
- Add the crispy burnt ends to the cheese mixture. Stir gently so you do not break the meat. Pour everything into your slow cooker or dish.
- Heat the dip until the cheese bubbles and glows. This usually takes about twenty minutes on high heat. Serve it while it is hot and melty.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth dip.
- Searing the meat first adds a deep smoky crunch.
- Add a splash of milk if it gets too thick.
- Freshly grated cheddar melts much better than bagged cheese.
- Do not skip the green onions for fresh taste.
