2Grill Prep

3The Cook

    • Place the bundled garlic heads into the pellet grill to cook until tender, about 45 minutes.

    • Once the garlic bundles are removed from the pellet grill, squeeze the tender garlic cloves out of the papery peel into a large bowl and mash them with a fork.

    • Next, add the rest of the dip ingredients to the bowl and mix.

    • Finally, spoon the mixture into a grill-safe 10” skillet, and smooth out the top. Then, top with the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese.

    • Place the skillet into the smoker for 25–30 minutes, until warmed through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F on a digital meat thermometer.

    • Garnish with remaining parsley, and serve with tortilla chips, pita pieces or any of your favorite dippers.
