If you thought high promo-season wrapped up when the Christmas presents unwrapped, guess again! The ever craze-inducing, food-consuming Super Bowl is still approaching. To tap further into the snacking football fan market, McCormick has launched “50 dips for 50 states,” with a flavor combo for any spectator. Because heaven forbid they be left with just chips and salsa!
"To celebrate this year's playoffs, we've turned iconic ingredients and recipes from each state into fun, game day dips,” said McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter. “Take Green Bay–nothing says Wisconsin more than a beer, brat, and cheese dip. All the dips are quick and easy to make, with just a few simple ingredients and serious flavor from McCormick seasoning mixes."
It’s one of 50 signature recipes inspired by classic flavors signature to each U.S. state, according to a press release. Options per playoff NFL team, for example, include:
- Green Bay: Wisconsin Brat & Beer Cheese Dip–Loaded with Cheddar cheese and cheese curds, best enjoyed with soft pretzel dunkers and a cold beer.
- Miami: Cuban Dip–Swiss cheese, dill pickles, ham, all that is loved in a Cuban sandwich, loaded into a hollowed-out bread bowl.
