The countdown for the big game has started. It feels like the Bronco fans here in Denver are ready. The town, or let’s better say, the state of Colorado is rocking. In support of our team I would like to share with you Chef Tyler’s chorizo bean dip. Chef Tyler is the Culinary Director for all four of John Elway’s restaurants. I stumbled over his recipe a few days ago while searching for typical Colorado Super Bowl food for one of my readers holding a big Super Bowl party in Florida. This chorizo bean dip is super easy to assemble and is unbelievably tasty. If you are a fan of spicier food, just add a few red pepper flakes to raise the heat. My family liked it as is. Actually they liked it a lot and I was lucky that we ran out of tortilla chips while taste testing or there would have been no chorizo bean dip left to share during the game. So, if you are still in need for a last minute appetizer, this chorizo bean dip will definitely be a big crowd pleaser. In this spirit I hope for a great Super Bowl match and the better team (hopefully mine) to win. Go Broncos!

Kirsten, your Chorizo Bean Dip is outrageously so addictive, and sooo goo! Love the color, and texture, and the spicy flavor from the Chorizo!
I am so sad, and devastated…never have I felt so bad in all the Super Bowl games, as I did on the one. We all are Bronco fans, and will keep on being Bronco fans…no matter what!
Elisabeth, it was such a painful game to watch right from the start. It didn’t even look like our team anymore, . But as loyal fans we stick with our team and stay Broncos fans, correct?!
We love bean dips here–I make a black bean one, but this looks amazing!

Great recipe and pic of the stadium. Thanks will have to try.
I guess the chorizo is homemade then? I knew chorizo was just a spicy sausage, but I didn’t know what went into it.
Edward, I purchase the used chorizo at my local Vitamin Cottage-Natural Grocers store. It is the Muray’s brand. They only use meat from pigs that are humanely raised. More info here: http://www.mulayssausage.com/animal-welfare.htm
Wow – what a great recipe. If I hadn’t already been to the store for my menu for tomorrow, I’d be making this. And how perfect for our Superbowl tomorrow. I already have butterflies in my stomach. 🙂 Go Broncos. And I really like that font you used on the photo. Pinned.
Thanks, Lea Ann. I hope so much we will win. Enjoy the game!
