Sausage, Bean, and Spinach Dip

Sausage, Bean, and Spinach Dip

It’s that time of year again!  Football season is upon us, and tailgating has started again.  Football season is one of my favorite times of the year.  I know this will come as a shock to some, but it’s not because of the football.  It’s most definitely because of the tailgating.   
 
I love the time with friends, and I love tailgating food!  There, I said it.  I simply do not understand football.  My son played all through high school, now he’s a high school coach, and I love going to his games.  I love to watch him coach, and I enjoy the pregame party.  Living where I live, I could actually lose friends with this revelation!    
 
Sausage, Bean, and Spinach Dip is a recipe that I have been making for years.  The warm, cheesy deliciousness is addictive! 
 
To keep warm, wrap a few bricks with aluminum foil.  Heat in a hot oven.  Place a towel in the bottom of a cooler, then top with the bricks and another towel. Place the dip on top, and you are ready to go!  Serve this incredible dip with Fritos Corn Chip Scoops.

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
