Big Game Recipes

The easiest recipes are

Popcorn with seasonings added

Velveta and canned chili in the crockpot with tortilla chips

Meatballs in Marinara or mix current jam with chili sauce, warm in a crockpot

Taco Dip
Spread a large plate with 8 oz cream cheese (you can use low fat), then 1 container sour cream (again lowfat is ok), top with salsa to cover, 1 cup shredded cheese, and then decorate with chopped tomatoes, chopped green onion, and/or sliced, pitted black olives. If you cut the veggies ahead of time and leave the cream cheese out to soften, this can be assembled in no time.

This also makes a great take to the party item since you can stop and grab most of it from a store on the way. To best effect I have baggies of each of my chopped items (tomatoes, green onions, and olives), a plater, a spreader and the following grocery list:

8 oz cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
16 oz salsa (the better the salsa is the better this dish is)
1-2 c shredded cheese
