They’re easy, nostalgic, and totally irresistible which is exactly what you want for a game day party when everyone’s grazing the Super Bowl appetizers in between plays in the big game.

What I Do Different to Make the BEST Lil Smokies

Listen, the truth is most people would choose a hamburger over a hotdog, but I am actually a die hard hotdog fan. I have been since I was a little girl. The first time that I had pigs in a blanket, I was so excited and then was completely bummed by the lack of flavor and especially by how dry they were.

I’ve learned that there are a few things you can do to make your pigs in a blanket better than everyone else’s. Number one always brushed the crescent dough with a little butter and sprinkle with flaky salt. It adds just that little touch of flavor and texture that will make your mouth water and you won’t be able to stop eating them, which is exactly what you want for your guests.

I love when we are throwing a party and people say they can’t stop eating fill in the blank. And my last tip always add a delicious dipping sauce and I’m not just talking ketchup and mustard. I’m talking a smoky honey mustard dipping sauce that is absolutely the best dip I’ve ever had with Little Smokies pigs in a blanket.

Why Pigs in a Blanket are the Ultimate Super Bowl Snack

Pigs in a blanket check every game day box. They’re handheld, crowd-pleasing, kid-approved, and easy to eat while yelling at the TV. You can make a big batch without much effort, they bake quickly, and they’re just as good warm as they are at room temperature.

Add a homemade honey mustard dipping sauce and suddenly this classic appetizer feels extra special without losing that nostalgic, party-food charm everyone loves.

Elote Mexican Street Corn Queso Dip

Prepare to have your life changed by this Elote Mexican Street Corn Queso Dip Recipe! Inspired by Mexican grilled corn, my mix of Mexican cheeses, jalapeño, and sweet corn makes the most delicious party dip for the Super Bowl, Cinco de Mayo, family parties, and more. This Mexican street corn dip is one of my most popular recipes and my go-to cheese dip for parties.

This Elote dip recipe is easy, cheesy, and so satisfying! The secret to perfect queso is in how you prepare the grated cheese and it’s such a simple step you’ll never have clumpy queso again!

I first discovered elote when the movie Nacho Libre came out. I was instantly intrigued by that creamy, cheesy corn on a stick because it looked utterly irresistible. Since then, elote has grown in popularity, and I have loved experimenting with it at home.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is by turning it into a gooey queso dip, which is just as addictive, easy to share, packed with flavor, and perfect for taco nights or casual gatherings. Every time I make it, I am transported back to that first “aha” moment, and it has now become a beloved staple in my kitchen.

When served off the cob, this dish is called esquites. In Mexico, it is a popular street food featuring sweet corn kernels coated in a creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy sauce. This queso recipe is my take on esquites, capturing all the bold, comforting flavors in a warm, shareable dip.

Ingredients For Elote Queso Dip Recipe

This queso is all about simple ingredients that pack a ton of flavor. Sweet corn, melty cheeses, and a little bit of spice come together to make a dip that everyone will want to scoop up. Grab everything you need, and get ready for cheesy, gooey, elote-inspired goodness.

Base & Sauce

  • Butter: melted with oil to start the queso
  • Vegetable Oil: pairs with butter for sautéing
  • Jalapeño: adds heat and flavor when sautéed
  • Cornstarch: coats the cheese to help thicken the sauce
  • Evaporated Milk: creates a creamy, smooth base
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese: gives sharp, bold flavor
  • Chihuahua Cheese: melts beautifully for authentic queso texture
  • Monterey Jack Cheese: adds creaminess and stretch
  • Salt: seasons the queso
  • Corn: stirred into the queso and sprinkled on top

Garnishes & Serving

  • Mexican Crema: drizzled over the top for richness
  • Cilantro Leaves: fresh herb garnish
