Casa Ole Green Dip

Everyone has a favorite restaurant that they grew up eating at, for me it was Casa Ole. Casa Ole is a small chain Mexican food restaurant found in Texas. What made this Mexican food restaurant stand out from all the other Mexican food restaurants in Texas was their green dip.

Their green dip is so good and they seem to be the only ones making it. This dip is one of the things I miss the most about Texas. This should give you a solid idea of how awesome this dip is. So, imagine my delight when my friend Melanie told me she had the recipe! (I almost cried.) I didn't want to get my hopes up too high, but when you live in Oregon and you grew up on Tex-Mex..........
I made the dip and it was good! This copy cat recipe has to be close to the exact recipe, if not their exact recipe. Mine was quite a bit thicker then what they serve, but I wasn't sure how to go about thinning it. It was thick enough to hold my chip up. Feel free to leave a suggestion on how to thin dip.

Hi Pinners! I am so happy you've found my site. You are going to LOVE these Tex-Mex mashed potatoes. I've had a lot of you ask if I cook the peppers. No, I chop them up and just thrown them in. The potatoes are so hot that they will soften without being cooked. If you would like to find me on Pinterest you can here Meagan Shamy and if you enjoy Tex-Mex cuisine check out my round up of 14 Tex-Mex Recipes Appetizers Main Dishes Side Dishes Desserts.


I love the papas con chile at Abuelo's and was beyond excited when I found this recipe last week on the Abuelo's facebook page! Now if they would open a restaurant up here in Oregon!

I cut this recipe in half and it made a ton.  Papas are Tex-Mex mash potatoes and they make the perfect side dish for
