It doesn't get much easier!

It sounds as though, somehow, between his hectic tour schedule, running multiple restaurants, and performing with his wife, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton has still found time to record what could very well be the song of the summer. Shelton recently teased a new collaboration with Post Malone that could quickly overtake Malone's other newly released, number-one country song with Morgan Wallen on the top music charts.
So, as we not-so-patiently await the pair to drop the soon-to-be hit song, we guess we’ll stick to playing Shelton’s other music. And, of course, nothing goes with a Blake Shelton song quite like an ice-cold beer and a recipe straight from his kitchen.
While Shelton has shared a few of the recipes that he serves at his Ole Red restaurant in Tennessee, Las Vegas, Florida, and Oklahoma, we’re more keen to know what the country singer makes in the comfort of his own home. And thanks to a 2019 interview with Country Living, we know what the award-winning artist is whipping up a lot.
The Snack Blake Shelton Craves While on Tour
If he’s cooking at home, Shelton says he loves a chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy and his go-to drink is the “Blake-a-Rita” served at Ole Red—which is simply his vodka, Smithworks, mixed with Sprite Zero over ice.
However, even though chicken-fried steak is about as comforting as you can get, it’s not the meal Shelton finds himself craving when he’s on tour.
“When your tour ends, what’s the first homemade thing that you crave?” Country Living asked.
“Homemade cheese dip,” Shelton responded.
The answer isn’t super surprising, considering Shelton serves “Redneck Nachos” at his Old Red restaurant, which are topped with a cheese dip. What we’re happy to learn, though, is just how easy his go-to dip is to prepare.
“I use some Velveeta, chopped up jalapeños, some sautéed onions, mix it up, and start dipping,” he said.
Essentially, Shelton’s recipe is a mix between the classic Ro*tel Velveeta queso with the spice and the Pioneer Woman’s Dirty Queso with the caramelized onions. Mix it up in a pot or the slow cooker, and you’ve got the ideal snack for potlucks, barbecues, and tailgates, paired with tortilla chips and the newest Blake Shelton song.
