We all have our own idea of the big game day. Sure it usually brings to mind football, but for me, a real game day is U.S. Open Tennis so it made sense to serve up Martha’s special game day Seven-Layer Dip from the Southwest section on page 297.
For the past week I’ve been taking it easy with some simple recipes. That’s how it is with cooking, even the most passionate home chef wants to take a break from complex recipes sometimes and just enjoy some down-home comfort food that can be done up quickly without a ton of ingredients. This seven-layer dip is a breeze to whip up and it’s incredibly tasty with refried beans, sour cream, lettuce, cheese and some hot and tangy toppings that bring it all together. With some crispy tortilla chips for the dipping, it’s a great snack to enjoy while watching the big game…whatever your favorite game happens to be.
Of course a big bowl would go fast at a Super Bowl party too, and even though football season is just getting started it’s never too soon to plan your menu for the big game day. Martha has some great recipes for the occasion. I suggest her seven-layer dip, buffalo wings and pigs in a blanket served with some ice cold beer for a terrific Super Bowl party that’s super easy to put together!
