You love your friends enough to invite them over to watch football on Sunday, why serve them scary, shelf-stable cheese? We know how addicting those cheesy party dips can be, so we've fashioned our own version using delicious artisan cheese!

Yes, you're friends will know the difference. It'll be the best hot cheese on a cracker they've ever had.

Pastoral Cheesy Game Day Dip

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 1 lb Castelinhos cheese
• 8 oz condensed milk (not sweetened)
• paprika to taste

Step 1: In a skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage until fully cooked and drain the fat.

Step 2: Melt the cheese in a separate, nonstick saucepan and stir in condensed milk. Stir in drained, cooked meat and season with paprika to taste.

Serve with Rustic Bakery Flatbread or any hearty cracker.

Pair with beer (of course!), such as a classic Stiegl.
