If there ever was a game day go-to on the smoker, this would be it! Max’s Smoked Taco Dip is a bold, bubbly and flavor-packed powerhouse with a punch of heat — and leaves no leftovers once it hits the table. Ground beef, chopped brisket, corn, two types of beans, jalapeño peppers and of course cheese add up to one smoky winner. Max and his father, Matt, have been cooking on the Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet smoker since Max was 5 years old. Now three years later the father-son duo cook side-by-side, having spent countless hours together shopping for just the right cut of meat, prepping, smoking, and presenting delicious meals. Tri tip, picanha, bacon- wrapped jalapeño poppers, hot sausage dip, and jalapeño cheddar brats…and the list goes on! More to come from Max and Matt, but let’s get started on this insanely delicious smoked taco dip!
