Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd… (You know you just sang that!) It is THAT time of year again. The crowds, the heat, afternoon games, or evening fun! The crack of the bat, the runs, and fans trying to catch those homers over the fence! But what we really love is the baseball food! What better way to celebrate the heat of the summer and the fun of the games it brings, than having Gordo’s Cheese Dip at your next baseball gathering? It is a GRAND SLAM for sure!

Gordo’s is located in the great state of Georgia, and love their Braves for sure. Whether you are tailgating before a game, meeting in the man cave at home to watch, or watching outside while grilling and in the pool, having Gordo’s Cheese Dips is nothing short of the right call for scoring runs with the family and neighborhood!

A baseball stadium classic is nachos. You know, the kind that comes in the little clear plastic tray. A mound full of chips on one side and a small built-in cup that they would slosh a spoonful of orange cheese in! You would have to carry it back all wonky so you wouldn’t get burned! Or if you’re lucky you get your nachos in a little baseball helmet. What kid doesn’t love eating out of those? (Pro-tip: you can buy them on Amazon for an at-home dupe)  There was absolutely nothing better tasting than that. But when you can’t be at the ballpark, why not bring the ballpark to you?

Baseball Food at Home

You can go super simple like back in the day with chips and a side of good ol’ hot cheese! Toss on some cut-up jalapenos and you are back in the ballpark cheering on your favorite team. If you crave unstable plastic containers just like the ballpark you can find them here!

Or you can pile the chips high on a platter, POUR on the Gordo’s then top with meats, cheese, onions, olives, jalapenos, and sour cream and let the gang go at it! Any way you choose to serve it up, the sounds of summer will come alive before your eyes! Gordo’s has several awesome flavors to choose from. Just regular flavored for the old-time memories or step up to the plate, point the bat straight to the outfield and bring home that run with Gordo’s mild or hot flavors.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 large bag of tortilla chips
  • 1 can of black beans, drained
  • 1 lb of ground beef, browned and seasoned with taco meat (or substitute grilled chicken)
  • 1 16 oz package of shredded Colby jack cheese
  • 1 small container Gordo’s Cheese Dip
  • 2 small jalapenos diced
  • 1 small can of black olives (optional)

HOW TO PREPARE:

Start by covering the tray with the tortilla chips so they are evenly spread out. Brown your ground beef separately and add some taco seasoning to the meat before draining. Start off layering the nachos with a dusting of shredded cheese so all the chips are covered. Then layer the taco meat and black beans over the chips and cheese, as well as the diced jalapenos and olives. Add the desired amount of cheese for the final layer. Bake the nachos at 350 for about 15 mins until the cheese is melted. Heat up the Gordo’s Mild Cheese Dip as directed and drizzle over the nachos for the final touch. You can never go wrong with more queso. Serve the nachos with sour cream, salsa, and some guacamole for dipping if you’d like.
