Tailgating has always been a family tradition and is one of my favorite parts of Fall! You’ll find me in Death Valley almost every Saturday decked out in Orange! I always look forward to this fun time with family and friends enjoying the awesome weather (even if it is sometimes still 90 degrees in October in the Carolinas). This is THE EASIEST recipe and is always a hit for a grab and go tailgate table item! Hope you enjoy! Go Tigers!

Ingredients:
1 Can of Corn
1 Can of Black Beans
1 (Small) Red Onion
1 Green Pepper
1 Can Original Rotel
Italian Dressing
1 Green Pepper
Directions:
Open and drain can of corn thoroughly!
Open and drain can of black beans thoroughly! ( I like to empty the can into a colander and wash off the excess juice and pat dry)
Dice up red onion
Dice up green pepper
Mix together corn, black beans, and can of undrained rotel. Add even parts onion and green pepper ( I typically guesstimate this portion depending on the level of pepper/onion preferred by the group).
Pour Italian Dressing (typically beginning with ¼ of a cup) over dip and stir until finding desired taste! (this is the best part of the recipe- taste testing until you get it perfectly seasoned how you like it).
Refrigerate.
Serve with tortilla chips!
The funny thing about this recipe is that my mother didn’t drink a drop, but this was made for every gathering I can remember.
Fall is the time of year when my sense of adventure really kicks in. It’s the time of year when things slow down enough that I can truly reflect on how much I’ve been blessed with and all that I am thankful for. When it comes to food, that’s an area where my family is less adventurous. We stick to the basics. Every family has their own twist on Southern classics, and in our family we tend not to stray from what we all know and love. These two recipes are staples in my family and can be expected at just about any gathering.
This recipe is sure to be hit ANYWHERE! It’s super easy and so delish! This is my go to for any sporting event!!
