🔥 Meet the Team Monday – What's Your Dish to Pass? 🔥 This week we're featuring Adelio — and trust us, he's bringing the heat (and the flavor)! 💥 After giving it some serious thought, Adelio's dish to pass is none other than smoked brisket queso dip. That’s right — tender, smoky brisket folded into a warm, cheesy blend of goodness. It’s bold, creamy, and packed with flavor — the kind of dip that vanishes before the chip bowl's even half-empty. 🧀🥩🔥 As we wrap up our Dish to Pass series, we want to thank everyone who joined in the fun and shared their go-to crowd-pleasers these past few weeks. Now it’s your turn one last time — what’s YOUR dish to pass? 👇 Drop your favorite in the comments (bonus points for recipes!) 🍽️
