WEEK 83
Who wants to be stuck in the kitchen making food for your Spring entertaining festivities? No one! Chipotle Bacon Dip Mix by Mad Dash Mixes is so quick and easy to prepare, you won’t be stuck in the kitchen! Let me show you how easy it is to prepare!
Let’s get to Mixin’
Gather Your Ingredients
A packet of dip mix, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheese and 10 minutes is all you need to prepare this tasty dip! The dip does have a bit of “heat” to it from the blend of peppers in the seasoning. Tame the heat with the addition of extra sour cream or plain greek yogurt if you desire! Of all the dips from Mad Dash Mixes that I have prepared, this is the 2nd hottest in my opinion. The Some Like it Hot dip is definitely hotter!
After allowing the prepared dip to chill for at least 4 hours, you are ready to enjoy with some chips or vegetables!
What is Chipotle anyway?
Chipotle is a smoked and dried jalapeno chili pepper. Generally speaking, chipotles are made using the ripest red jalapenos.
Popular in Tex Mex cuisine as well as Mexican recipes, chipotles are a great way to add heat to dishes.
What do I mean by Heat?
Heat is another word for spiciness. The Scoville Scale rates peppers from zero SHU (no heat at all) to SHU’s in the millions. Bell peppers have a Scoville Scale of 0. The hottest peppers include ghost peppers which have a SHU of one million.
Jalapeno peppers have a SHU ranging from 2500 to 8000. Growing conditions as well as how ripe the jalapeno is, can effect the SHU.
Chipotle peppers have enough heat to add significant flavor to a recipe.

COOKING WITH KIM
My entrepreneurial journey started with my love of herbs , both growing and cooking with them. This love of herbs eventually lead to owning a pizzeria. Throughout my culinary career, I have discovered that using mixes can make a cook’s life so much easier! Using a mix to make a recipe is as simple as adding a few ingredients to the mix, stirring, cooking or chilling and serving!
