Cheese, tomatoes, meat. Some more cheese. And red ale beer to bring the whole party together.
This fun and easy dip will bring smiles to everyone at your next poker night.
This dip is traditionally made with Chorizo sausages, but our butcher had some delicious Italian sausages that we chose to go with instead. We regret nothing, so good. So use your favourite! just make sure you know the person who makes it doesn't go overboard with the salt.

4
15 minutes
10 minutes
Appetizers
10 oz cherry tomatoes
Olive Oil
2 cups grated cheese, mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar
3-4 hot italian sausages, removed from casing
1-2 tbsp Big Cove Foods 'Mary Had a Lot of Lamb' spice blend
1/2 cup beer (can also substitute broth)
corn chips for serving
This can be made on the stove top, or directly on your BBQ for a little smokiness! Just preheat your BBQ to a medium-high heat and place your cast iron pan directly on the grill. Instead of broiler at the end, just close the lid to your BBQ.
Turn on your broiler. Heat up a 10" cast iron pan on medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
Add the whole cherry tomatoes, tossing occasionally. Cooking until they get all wrinkly and slightly seared, about 8 minutes. You can smash them up a little here if you'd like. Remove from pan and set aside.
Add your crumbled sausage meat to the pan and cook until browned. Drain out excess grease.
Add your tomatoes back into the pot along with Mary Had a Lot of Lamb spice blend. Stir to combine and allow to cook together for a minute.
Stir in your beer; allow to evaporate. Just until most of the liquid is gone but it's still saucy. Top evenly with the cheese.
Place in the oven under your preheated broiler and allow the cheese to melt and bubble - will only take a few minutes, so keep watch. Alternatively, close the lid to your BBQ until everything gets gooey and delicious.
Enjoy with chips or pita!
Should be in more stores, Superstore, Sobeys are missing a bet here.
There are meals that I cook with it
That I like
Very much.
Miam!
I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.
Love, love, love Big Cove Foods spice blends.
They have amazing combinations for all kinds of flavours!
We used this combo to try out blends new to us and we've enjoyed every one so far!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.
Sent an assortment to Yellowknife for a birthday gift. Getting happy reports back. I knew I would.
We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
