Smoky Sausage Pimento Cheese Dip (Easy Grill & Tailgate Recipe)
This Smoky Sausage Pimento Cheese Dip takes classic, creamy Southern pimento cheese and upgrades it with savory ground sausage, crispy bacon, and a kick of fresh jalapeño. Baked right on the grill in a disposable pan, it absorbs a subtle smoky flavor while getting warm, rich, and melty.
Our family loves any variation of a hot cheese dip, but this outdoor version is my absolute favorite for game days and summer cookouts. Whenever we head out to tailgate, I like to have everything prepped ahead of time so I’m not stuck cooking and missing the game. You can prep the sausage and bacon at home, pack it up, and assemble the pan right at the stadium. It stays warm on the grill for hours, and using disposable pans makes cleanup completely effortless so you can focus on enjoying the football game!
