Katie: Cheesy Beef & Sausage on Party Bread

Jackie: Spinach and Artichoke Dip
“I love this recipe, especially for game day! It’s simple to make and is always a big hit. Plus, the spinach makes it healthy, right?”
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
6 oz artichoke hearts (canned and drained)
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Mindy: Crab Dip
“One of my favorites!”

2 (8 oz.) cream cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (6 oz. or more) can petite shrimp (deveined if available)

Angela: Taco/Nacho Bar
“This one’s more of an idea than a recipe, because everyone knows how to make tacos! Instead of one set dinner serving, this one can be set up to make your own way anytime (or multiple times) throughout the party.”
Ingredients:
Ground meat (such as beef or turkey)
Taco seasoning (I always add extra seasoning!)
Toppings of your choice:
Shredded cheddar cheese
Hot sauce
Taco sauce
Nacho cheese sauce
Salsa
Guacamole
Sour cream
Lettuce
Black and green olives
Jalapenos
Hard and soft taco shells / Nacho chips
Instructions:
Cook ground meat. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning and cook according to instructions.
Transfer taco meat to a crockpot and keep on low.
Prep all toppings and set out on the “bar” with hard and soft taco shells and nacho chips for easy make-your-own tacos or nachos.
Grab a plate, load it up your way, and enjoy the commercials – I mean, the game!
