Cuban Sandwich Dip

This post has been sponsored by Smithfield. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Having recently moved to Atlanta, I've had a blast discovering all the amazing food here. In particular, I've found some great Cuban restaurants! Little hole in the wall places cranking out pressed Cuban sandwiches the size of your head all day long. Delicious, but not really anything I'd be willing to make at home.

That's why I love this dip so much. It's so rich, but it's unique! And it is roughly 1,000% easier to make than the sandwiches from my local haunts. 

Speaking of discoveries, another great find for me has been Kroger. You never think about these things when you are moving. You think about where you'll live, where you might go out to dinner, and where you'll find parking, but I didn't even think about where I'd buy groceries until I got in my car and needed food.

Thankfully, my father pointed me to the Kroger just up the street. I was so thrilled with their selection. It seems like it's becoming harder and harder to find a store where you can buy everything you need in one place, but this Kroger nails it in that department. They even have cookware! 

Bonus: you can shop this recipe directly from my post and have all the ingredients added to your shopping cart at Kroger. Super cool.

One downside of a new store, no matter how much you love it, is finding all of your favorite things inside of it! You can find the Smithfield Anytime Favorites Hickory Smoked Diced Ham called for in this Cuban sandwich dip recipe back by the meat department where the lunch meats and bacon live.

Okay, so let's assume you've secured the ham and other ingredients you need from your local Kroger. You're ready to cook! 

How to make Cuban Sandwich Dip

It couldn't be any easier to make this ham and pickle dip with Swiss cheese and mustard. Just toss everything into a large bowl, and mix it all up! Then, bake it until it's hot and bubbly and serve with your favorite pita chips.

Sure, it's not one of your classic Cuban appetizers, but it's Cuban-inspired and oh-so easy to throw together. 

My family went crazy over this dip, even if there was a little bit of initial trepidation when seeing the mustard color of it.

But then, as the smell of it filled the house as it baked, people started lingering in the kitchen, wondering what this amazing thing in the oven was going to taste like.

And I'll tell ya, it's better than any of us even dreamed it could be.  I mean, just look at that cheese pull.

look at it.
