Are you ready for some football? I know we are around here, and when I say “we” I don’t mean me 😉 But my boys are so excited about the Super Bowl (even though Asher’s beloved Packers are out of the running) and since Dalton’s favorite team is the Patriots… at least for now 😉
So tomorrow I’ll be pulling out all the stops to make sure my boys are content during game time, as I know my husband would do for me if there were a female equivalent… say, being at the Oprah ‘good things’ show, live 🙂 Okay, back to reality. So I’ll be fixin’ up some yummies and thought I’d share one of our all time favorite recipes: Mexican Dip. Honestly, it’s never failed me since I started making it 7 years ago. If Asher had to choose a favorite dinner, it would be this. Shhh, don’t tell anyone I pass it off as a ‘dinner’ to my 8 year old 😉
So here it is…
Mexican Dip
1 package cream cheese
1 can Hormel Chili (we prefer the ‘no beans’ variety)
1 can black olives (cuz we love ’em, but you don’t have to use them)
1 can salsa verde
1 can black beans or refried beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Soften cream cheese and spread in bottom of 8′ x 8′ pan. Layer remaining items in any order you prefer, and top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips.
We are ready for football in the Mooney house! Dad and two of my boys are HUGE Giants fans so they are very excited and ready for tomorrow! I will make all kinds of goodies. We love munching during football…My boys love the mexican dip, it’s always a hit in our house.
Sounds yummy!
I’m a lifelong Wisconsinite so tell Asher I feel his pain! I’m pretty much over the loss but it has left me feeling pretty blah about the Super Bowl. I’m rooting for the Giants since I am sick to death of the Patriots, but I’m not wholeheartedly rooting for them either. So wishing it was the Packers playing today instead. Hope the commercials are good anyway!
The dip sounds good other than the chili (I don’t eat meat).
Have a great day!
stomach growling now…
Yum! We are really looking forward to the game! Any kind of football is a good thing at our house! you are a good mom – I just throw the kids some popcorn & pop tarts & call it good:) Shhhh..don’t tell my social worker!
My boys are total Pats fans…we live in MA. Football is just one sport I never got into…I don’t think I can sit down that long! I am to supply lots of yummy food for the game though. It’s a small price to pay for a quiet evening upstairs with the girls ;^).
Your dip sounds great and would probably be just as yummy with a bean chili for vegetarians. We will try it!
Sounds yummy! Hope the food was great, because the game WASN’T! LOL I cannot believe the Patriots didn’t win. Still in shock up here in Maine…
You mean it’s not really dinner??? Tell my tummy that! Delicious, one of my favorites. Em doesn’t touch it, but the rest of us think it’s pretty cool!
Just checking in – glad your boys will be happy campers after the big football game:)
