- Hey, it's Jamie Deen in the Chicken Box again.
0:02
Lemme tell you what, finally,
0:05
for the first time this season,
0:06
I'm gonna say my two favorite words, tailgating.
0:11
Football's coming back, y'all.
0:12
We're easing into fall.
0:14
It has been a spectacularly hot summer here in Savannah.
0:17
So we've done some cold things,
0:18
we've done some different things.
0:20
Now we're moving into the fall season.
0:22
I wanna take a look at some things
0:23
that you can mix up at your house super quick,
0:25
carry 'em to the ball game, tailgating for your high school
0:27
or your kids' soccer game.
0:29
We're doing cheese dip today with pretzels,
0:33
You know, Theresa works hard to find recipes
0:36
that we can put together very quickly,
0:37
'cause everybody is so busy, and this is no exception.
0:41
We're gonna start with two packages of cream cheese.
0:45
And let me tell you, softening cream cheese in Savannah
0:48
in the summertime is the easiest thing you'll do.
0:50
Easier than falling out of bed.
0:52
Set it down, and it'll be soft.
0:54
So we got two eight ounces soft.
0:57
To this, I'm gonna add one third of a cup of beer,
1:01
We've got some cayenne pepper.
1:03
I'm gonna let you decide what you wanna do.
1:05
The measurements here call for half a teaspoon.
1:08
And I know some of y'all really like it hot,
1:12
but I'm just gonna stick with a half.
1:14
That seems plenty to me.
1:15
I've had more people come in here and say, just light me up,
1:19
the hottest thing you have.
1:21
So I'm not, I know that y'all like it hot.
1:24
Same amount, half a teaspoon of onion powder.
1:28
We've got some black pepper that we're gonna go in with.
1:32
I'm gonna stick with the half.
1:39
So it's our black pepper, cayenne, onion powder.
1:45
Finally, we're gonna add some salt.
1:50
I'm gonna put half a teaspoon of salt in here.
1:55
To this, we're gonna add two cups of shredded cheddar,
1:59
which Theresa has just picked up the package
2:01
that already has them.
2:06
And I've got lots of things here at the Chicken Box,
2:08
and a hand mixer is one of those things that I do not have.
2:12
I do have a hand and I do have a mixer.
2:16
So this hand mixer will work today.
2:23
And fast forward 29 minutes.
2:29
That really did soften up.
2:38
Not too far off from the pimento cheese that I make.
2:40
I put cream cheese in my pimento cheese.
2:43
The smoked gouda and cheddar.
2:45
- [Theresa] It's the adult version.
2:46
- It's the adult version.
2:48
- [Theresa] Used to be.
2:50
- Yeah, I wouldn't know anything about the adult version.
2:53
I'm still at the kids' table.
2:57
Let's put it in something pretty.
3:00
Well, this isn't pretty,
3:02
but this would be a good way for you to package it
3:05
and take it to your party.
3:08
(bowl and spoon clanging)
3:24
So this is what I, this is what we'll do.
3:29
This isn't in the recipe,
3:32
but there's never been a cheese
3:33
that didn't like a little bit of chopped chives.
3:38
I gotta have a little bit of color in there.
3:40
So I'm just gonna top it
3:41
with a little bit of our chopped chives.
3:43
See how easy that was?
3:44
I mean, literally, I'm talking and cooking
3:46
and showing y'all how to do this.
3:52
Just think about football and brown leaves and cool breezes.
4:02
Hmm, I love pretzels and cheese,
4:09
and I love it when y'all tune in
4:10
to see me at the Chicken Box.
4:13
Let's see y'all around the kitchen.
4:19
