Cheese Fondue Dip

One of my favorite snacks is anything paired with this warm cheese fondue dip. It’s a delicious side for a charcuterie board filled with dried meat or even roasted potatoes. A common way this dip is served at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen is with cut up raw vegetables and bite sized French bread. Trust me, if you’ve never had this dip, you definitely need to try it!

Although there are very few steps when it comes to making this tasty dip, it could be a little tricky if it’s not done correctly. The most common mistake is not getting the right consistency. For instance, if the fondue becomes too thick, you’ll want to stir in a small amount of dry white wine or apple juice. The wine does wonders, even preventing the cheese to clump, but also to not become stringy.

Cheddar and Bean Dip

One of my favorite appetizers from Mexican restaurants is the cheesy bean dip that is brought out with the homemade tortilla chips. The melted cheddar cheese on the beans is definitely a cherry on top to the flavorful beans. It was always an explosion in my mouth in the best way possible, so I decided to recreate it at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen. Try it—I promise you won’t regret it!

This easy to make dip reminds me of how well cheese and beans go together…it’s a match made in heaven! All the ingredients are pretty straight forward, so you won’t have trouble finding them if you don’t already have them in your pantry. You can totally tailor the jalapeño amount if you’re really not into spicy foods. Whenever I want an extra kick, I add more, sometimes even doubling it...
