- We have Kathie Lee Gifford dialed in from Nashville.
And I'm also here with Taylor Tomlinson, give it up!
(applause and cheers)
You look so cute in the little apron, the little outfit.
- I get to keep this, right?
This is mine now. - I just told you
you could, I have some say here.
(laughter)
So we're ready to do some cooking
and I hear our next guest has a challenge for us.
Accepted, by the way.
This guy has a personality as big as some of the amazing
dishes he serves up.
He's a chef and New York Times bestselling author
whose new book is called "Matty Matheson: Homestyle Cookery"
it's out now.
Let's welcome Chef Matty Matheson, everybody!
(applause and cheers)
What's up? - Yeah!
- I love you so much, man.
I wore overalls to work yesterday
and I'd have known you were gonna wear yours today,
I would've brought them back.
So tell us about this towering seven layer dip we're making.
'Cause it looks awesome.
- Well, you know, I was making my cookbook
and I was just like, you know,
most seven layer dips are pretty blahzay,
they're not too aesthetically pleasing.
They're very flat.
And then I had something in an ice bucket
and I was like, ice just melts.
So I threw out that ice, 'cause who needs ice, really?
You know, not that great of a dish.
So then I threw out the ice and then I started layering
everything up in this glass kind of vase ice bucket
during my cookbook shoot.
And I ended up with just something so magical
and so real and something that the world I guess needed.
And that's a seven layer dip in an ice bucket.
- Oh my God. (laughter)
I love you so much, man.
Oh my gosh.
What are we gonna start with?
- Well, you know, that's a great question, Kelly.
You always want to have a strong foundation
when you're building out a food that's in vessels
that aren't meant to be.
So what we're gonna start with is kind of
the glue of America, which is a whipped cream cheese-
- The glue of America?
- Well, this seven layer dip, okay,
I have to maybe go through this a little quickly.
So the seven layers are the wet cream cheeses.
With the flavoring of the old El Paso packets,
you know, with the hot cumin
and then we got the ground beef, which is one.
And then we got the corn salsa
and then we got the citrus re-fried beans.
And then we got tomatoes and cheeses and all the garnishes.
- So we're just gonna start doing it.
We're gonna start dipping it.
What's your favorite dip, Taylor?
- Yeah, pile it on! - I mean this, now.
- This is the pile on.
This is emotional pile on.
And you wanna layer it up and you just keep adding
your ground beef and then you add, that's nice,
isn't that nice, Kelly?
Can you smell it?
Taylor, can you smell it?
- I can smell it.
- [Kelly] Yes, it smells so good.
Pack it down and then we're gonna go beans.
- [Kathie] I can smell it from Nashville.
- Okay, we're doin' it.
Kathie, I wish you were here!
'Cause we're having this dip with your wine.
So I'm gonna take a glass- - I can smell it all the way
here in Nashville, you guys.
- All right,
all right, hold on. - No guacamole?
- And then we do the tomatoes.
- How are you feeling about this?
Does this look nice to you?
Okay, just dump the tomatoes, okay.
- [Taylor] Whoa.
- I need it to be like, it's too much,
it's too much packed in, it's too much!
- [Taylor] I know, we're at the edge here.
- Wait, hold on.
And then we do the cheese. - Super Bowl.
- The cheese.
- [Taylor] Okay, all right.
- And then we do this. - I was doing really well.
- And then we're gonna go, boop!
- [Man] Yes!
- [Kelly] And then we're gonna get that off of there
so that looks clean and nice.
- [Taylor] Shoot, okay, I'm just destroying it.
- All right, so now we can kind of dip in here.
So is this recipe in your new cookbook?
- Well yeah, but this isn't a good, this representation,
my cookbook's filled with really beautiful dishes
and this is kind of gimmicky, which is nice,
you know, for TV obviously.
- Hey, don't you poop on a Super Bowl party meal.
I love this. (laughter)
- [Taylor] I'm like so intimidated.
- Yeah, it's really good for you.
- To get into this.
- It's healthy, this is for one person.
- [Taylor] Oh my gosh.
- It's so good.
- Are you, are you using a chip?
How do you even?
- I went in with this big thing and I got all of it.
- You take your hand and you dip it
for your buddies and you just use your hand
and you can dip as much
as you want. - Not if COVID comes, man.
- [Taylor] Everyone needs their own.
- [Matty] It's like the center of the earth.
- This is so good, thank you so much, Matty.
You're so funny, man.
(applause) Your new cookbook,
"Matty Matheson: Homestyle Cookery" is out now.
Y'all gotta check it out, this dip is so good.
