CHORIZO DIP WITH CREAM CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and warm an 8-inch skillet with the olive oil to medium-low heat.
• Sautee the onions for 20 minutes or until they are soft. Transfer the onions to a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Turn up the heat to medium. Brown and crumble the chorizo sausage until it is browned on all sides. Add the sausage crumbles to the mixing bowl along with the cream cheese and half of the Cheddar cheese. Stir the mixture until it is completely mixed, then transfer it back into the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, completely covering the top.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top of the cheese starts to bubble and turn golden brown.
• Serve warm with root vegetable chips or even by the spoonful.
• In a small prep bowl, add all the dried spices, mixing together to create the spices blend.
• Add the ground pork to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the spice blend, 1 tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar, and 1 of the crushed garlic cloves over the ground pork. Use your hands to lightly massage the spices into the meat; this does not need to be fully mixed. Continue this process until all of the spice blend, apple cider vinegar, and garlic are used and the meat is evenly mixed.
