I’ve never tried Siracha and think I might need to try this brand to start. I like spicy things but just haven’t ever picked up a bottle! I think I’d try it on nachos like you did here or hot wings!!

I’m really impressed by some of the delicious food that they make at tailgating parties. It’s exactly the kind of food that my husband loves.

I’m not a fan of spicy but I think I’d like to try the red hot tuna. Or the crab salad!

I always have to drastically reduce or substitute a less spicy ingredient, Mina! Maybe you could try it with a reduced amount of the Texas Pete!
I have a friend in the south who raves about her Texas Pete’s! I wonder if she’s seen the CHA! yet. She would be shocked if I knew about it before her! LOL
Oh that would be fun, Melissa! 😉
I love everything spicy~ I think this would be good mixed with some alfredo (I know Im weird!

I am so glad I am not the only one, Danielle!!
I’m pretty great about what I eat too, but when nachos (or pizza) comes out, I am always tempted and usually give in. These do look really good.
Oh, Rosey … it’s so funny because I could usually take or leave pizza. In fact, when I was a child I didn’t even care for it except when my mom would humor me and made it without tomato sauce. For some reason I couldn’t stand the tomato sauce then. Haha!!
I don’t necessarily need a recipe… I’d put Texas Pete Cha on everything- even recipes that don’t hot sauce. I love the spicy!

I haven’t used this but it sounds great for add ons. And Texas just screams football so these must go together.
We love Texas Pete around here so any new product they come out with I am all for! Those Cha Chos look awesome and you are right perfect for tailgating. I am going to try it out in my Charleston Cheese dip! I’ll let you know how it turns out!

This recipe looks like it would be one of my favorites - Texas Pete® Devil’s Ranch Dressing. My sons would love this for dipping too.

mmm we love hot and spicy foods in our house but have never had this sauce before. I should really look more into it.
I haven’t heard of these Texas Pete sauces yet, but they do sound good. If I can’t find them locally, I am definitely going to order some online!

Would love to know if you try any of these recipes, Theresa!
I love their sauce, my boys do not like it though. Of course that just means when I use it I do not have to share. How do you have hot wings without them.
We’re not football fans but we’re definitely food fans and this sounds delicious!

I love spicy foods, but hadn’t heard of sriracha until fairly recently! My colleague loves it - and keeps a bottle in our work refrigerator!
