Who's ready for Superbowl Sunday? I love this football event because it normally means you get to wear a comfy sweatshirt, and eat a lot of yummy bad for you food and drink beer. I also love Superbowl Sunday because theme parties are my favorite. Here are a few great ideas if you are throwing or going to a party!
Reuben Dip
This dip is out of this world. I didn't even like corned beef or sauerkraut when I first tried it. We were at our friends Dan & Katie's house for a football game (Go BLUE!) and Katie put a hot cheesy dish of down in front of all of us and I stared in amazement. From first bite, I was hooked. This dip is why I started eating Reubens. Truth.
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use light)
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing (light is hard to find, if you can find it, use it!)
16 ounces sauerkraut, rinsed and squeezed dry
8 ounces shredded corned beef (I just ask butcher to shave so its falling apart)
16 ounces shredded Swiss cheese (again, i use light, get a block of light Lorraine at the deli counter - and 8oz is really enough...)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and dressing. Spread sauerkraut into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer corned beef, Swiss cheese, and the mayonnaise-dressing mixture on top of the sauerkraut. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
The MUST for this dish, is serve it with RYE triscuits. This dip is always the hit of a party!
Taco Dip in Cups
How great are these? Perfect for the double dippers and people who think that their fingers are serving utensils. Found the idea on The Girl Who Ate Everything.
Veggie Dip in Cups
Along with the individual taco dips are individual veggie dips, so everyone gets their own ranch and can double or even triple dip to their hearts content. We had these at our wedding during cocktail hour and they were a big hit!
If you are looking for cute accessories, dollar tree has cute paper cups right now that look like footballs (they are brown with laces down the sides). The dollar tree and dollar general have a great selection of paper plates and decorations too - get green and brown paper plates and utensils for a $1 a pack!
Guacamole
this guac dip is soooo easy. sometimes i leave out onions if i don't have them in house and i don't really care for cilantro so i normally leave it out - basically you can play with the recipe a little if you want. and i also normally make a double batch. andddd.....its a weight watcher recipe!
1 medium avocado
2 Tbsp red onion(s), chopped
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (essential, do not skip this!)
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce (tabasco)
1/4 tsp table salt, or more to taste
Put avocado in a medium bowl and mash with a fork until almost smooth. Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day. Yields about 1/4 cup dip per serving.
Keep an avocado pit in the bowl with the cutup avocado, it keeps it from browning. i've gotten mixed results, but always do it just in case!
