Poolside Cajun Honey Reaper Dip
This Poolside Cajun Honey Reaper Dip came together while I was hanging out by the pool with Tone from TFTI.BBQ and our families. We combined creamy sour cream, shredded cheese and Rotel with TFTI.BBQ Cajun Honey Rub and Blazing Star BBQ Reaper Rub. The result is a quick, cheesy party dip with Cajun flavor, balanced sweetness and a spicy finish.

Why This Poolside Dip Works
The sour cream creates a cool and creamy base, while the shredded cheese adds richness and texture. Rotel brings acidity, tomatoes and mild green chile flavor. TFTI.BBQ Cajun Honey Rub adds savory Cajun flavor with balanced sweetness, and Blazing Star BBQ Reaper Rub finishes the dip with a spicy kick.
Recipe Tips
- Drain the Rotel well to keep the dip from becoming watery.
- Allow the dip to chill before serving so the seasonings can blend into the sour cream.
- Stir the dip again after chilling to evenly redistribute the ingredients.
- For less heat, reduce the Reaper Rub slightly. For more heat, add a little more to taste.
- Keep the dip refrigerated until serving, especially when enjoying it outdoors.
