This post is brought to you by the fine folks at Dos Equis

Now that college football is well underway, I’ve partnered with Dos Equis® and On The Border® Chips & Dips to help make you the most interesting person at your next football get together. Whether it be at home or at a tailgate, the key to becoming “that guy” (the good kind) is to always #StayThirsty. Thinking back to the memorable moments that stood out during my last get together, I think about the things that happened around the #MostInterestingPlay of the game. The time you spend with friends, eating, drinking and bonding. That is, after all, why we get together in the first place, right? So how does one become the most interesting person at the party and create those bonding moments?

Step 1: Get the Beer and Chips

Head to your local store and stock up.

Dos Equis 6-Pack

Grocery Cart Filled with Dos Equis and On the Border

I start off with the essentials: Dos Equis Lager and On The Border Café Style chips and dips. Don’t skimp on the dipping options. It’s always better to have a variety.

While you’re at it, pickup a few other snack items you think your friends might like.

Step 2: Beef Salsa Con Queso Recipe

This dip is a personal favorite of mine, and it’s super easy to make. I recommend making a few servings of this because it’s going to go fast.

Beef Salsa Con Queso Dip Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp Tex‑Mex seasoning blend
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 2 jars On The Border Salsa Con Queso
  • ½ cup On The Border Mild Chunky Salsa
  • 1 bag On The Border Café Style Chips

Directions:

Makes 12 Servings

  1. Set a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium‑high heat.
  2. Crumble in the beef.
  3. Stir and break beef into small pieces, for 5 minutes or until browned.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning over the meat; stir in 1/4 cup water.
  5. Simmer for 5 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and beef is cooked through.
  6. Transfer to a plate.
  7. Pour in On The Border Salsa con Queso into the same skillet.
  8. Simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through.
  9. Scatter the meat mixture over the skillet.
  10. Spoon the salsa in the center of the skillet and sprinkle with green onion.
  11. Serve immediately while hot with On The Border Café Style Chips.

Step 3: Ice Cold Dos Equis

Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean the demand for ice cold beers has changed. When you serve your game day salsa con queso dip, put out an ice bucket filled with your favorite Dos Equis. Trust me, this will not only be the #MostInterestingPlay of the game, but the entire day as well.
