Dean's Pretzel Dips Cheesy Friday Giveaway: Week Two

~~Week Two's Giveaway is CLOSED. Comments are open until 9/10~~

Welcome to Cheesy Friday Week Two! Did you look for Dean's Pretzel Dips on your last grocery shopping trip? Did you have a chance to try them? Well, I finally did! And as expected, I love the cheesy creamy Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Dip better while my husband prefers the sweet and tangy Honey Mustard Dip. And our son judged both to be equally yummy. See? That's how my cute boy holds our family together when mom and dad's opinions are divided.

I love browsing Dean's Dip website, because it not only provides detailed ingredients and nutrition facts for each product, but also suggests a good number of fun and delicious recipes. These recipe ideas have inspired me to use Dean's Dips more creatively.

Here's my favorite recipe featuring Dean's Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Dip:

Cheesy Layered Dip

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients:

* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
* 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
* 1 (12-ounce) tub Dean’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Dip
* 1 cup shredded lettuce
* ½ cup sour cream
* ½ cup salsa
* Choice of pretzels, tortilla chips, crackers, vegetables, pita chips or bagel chips for dipping

Directions:
1. Prepare ground beef and taco seasoning mix according to instructions on taco seasoning packet.
2. Spread refried beans on bottom of 10-inch glass pie plate or similar serving dish. Top with cooked taco-seasoned ground beef. Stir Dean’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Dip and spoon over the top of the ground beef. Use back of spoon to spread Dip over beef almost to the edges (some of the beef will show). Mound lettuce in center of cheese layer. Top with sour cream and salsa. Serve immediately with choice of dippers.

It's fast and easy to cook. Love it! Now it's your turn to tell me which Dean's Dip recipe is your favorite and enter to win this week's prize.
