We’re in full holiday party mode and that means searching for tasty and easy appetizers. I like to stick to the classics and take things easy in the kitchen – after all, you don’t want to host a party and be stuck making food all night long. No way!

The fun is hanging out with your guests, eating and drinking, and the drinking part is just as important as the food. This Chorizo Con Queso is easy to make and is full of creamy Colby Jack cheese and traditional sweet and spicy Spanish Chorizo.
Newcastle Brown Ale pairs perfectly with this cheesy dip, cutting that spicy edge of the chorizo with its smooth, mellow finish.

This dip starts of with a basic roux, which is flour and melted butter whisked together. This is the base for many sauces including the white béchamel that makes lasagna so creamy and rich.
Add some whole milk, buckets of grated cheese and diced chorizo and you have a dip that’s probably going to be the first empty bowl on the table. You can serve it with tortilla chips or toasted crostini, but don’t forget the Newcastle Brown Ale, America’s No. 1 brown ale.
Chorizo Con Queso is addicting, I’m already thinking of ways to use it in other recipes, and mac and cheese is looking very appetizing right now!
