Speaking of football...Recipes
I always do stuff for Sunday Football and I always like to do different things figured you ladies could help.
Ok I will start. A Dip that everyone loves and its super simple.
Make your favorite Ranch dip then add.
1/2 cup to 3/4 of a cup of finely shredded cheese
A small bag of the crumbled real bacon.
People love this and think you worked really hard at something but its super simple and quick! Serve with chips whatever kind you like.
Another one is simple cream cheese and shrimp or crab wontons.
1 package of wonton wrappers
mix a package (the brick) of softened cream cheese
either a can of crab or mince up a 1/2 a cup of shrimp
beat 1 egg
take a wonton wrapper place a small dallop of the mixture in the center of the wrapper and then brush the wrapper in on half of the wrapper on the sides with the egg and make it a triangle sealed shut then fry. I make a whole bunch you must watch these they don't take long to fry soon as the edges start to turn brown take them out and sit on a rack or paper towels to drain. Serve with sweet n sour sauce. I have to hide these so my family won't eat them all before I serve them.

Super-easy Spinach Dip
1 container (16 oz.) sour cream
1 cup Hellmann's? or Best Foods? Real Mayonnaise
1 package Knorr? Vegetable recipe mix
1 can (8 oz.) water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
Combine all ingredients and chill about 2 hours. Serve with your favorite dippers to your favorite people.
Chili-Cheese Dip
1 can (or more!) Hormel Chili (with beans)
1 (8 oz) package of Cream Cheese
Shredded cheese
Melt the cream cheese in a bowl in the microwave, just until it's a little easier to spread. Spread cream cheese in the bottom of a small casserole dish.
Pour whole can of Hormel Chili on top.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
I'm sure you could put it in the oven, but my mom is lazy and just puts it in the microwave until the cheese starts to melt/bubble. I haven't made this in a long time, but I THINK she puts it in for about 5 minutes.
Serve with tortilla chips. Absolutely delicious.
Uncle Marty's Cheeseball
2 packages cream cheese (8oz)
2 packages thin sliced beef chopped very fine (I preferr Buddig but I think they quit making it)
5 green onions chopped very fine
2 tsp Worshteshire (I have no idea how to spell it lol) sauce
1 tsp black pepper
Mix both packages of cream cheese with green onions, worshteshire sauces, pepper and 1 package of chopped beef. Form into a ball and roll in remaining chopped beef. Refrigerate until set. Serve with crackers of your choice.
I don't have my recipe book with me at work obviously so I don't know if those are the exact measurments for the ingredients. You can always add more onion or beef if you want though.
Found this link with a ton of tailgating recipes:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipes/tailgating/
this is a huge hit in my family.
block of neufendel cream cheese (my spelling is horrible, but the lower fat one)
salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
tortilla chips
spread cream cheese in the bottom of a pie pan, I usually use about half a block or so. Cover cream cheese with a layer of salsa and then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Heat oven to 350? and put in until cheese melts. Serve hot with tortillas
Its so easy and we make it for like every function!!!! You can add other items too like olives or refried beans if you like. My hubby likes jalapenos, so i usually make one side spicy b/c I don't like them. And I'm not gonna lie, there are times I've made this just so I can have it for dinner!
I could totally go for this right now!
