Life as I know it is restored – Football is BACK!  Because if there’s one thing I can say with absolute certainty, it’s that life in my house without football is rough…we simply don’t know what to do with ourselves on the weekends.  No sooner does the last game of the season end, that we start looking forward to the first game of the next season to begin.  It would be fair to say that we’ve been looking forward to September for about 7 months, give or take.   With college and professional seasons both in full swing, we are in our heyday.

And game day isn’t game day without some delicious snacks, so naturally, in addition to watching football, I’ve been cooking up a storm.  Wings, pinwheels, sliders, dips, I’m a sucker for game day food.  I. Want. To. Eat. It. All.  But with lots of games on each day and 3 kids running around the house, this year, I’m leaning towards my easier recipes – fewer ingredients, minimal prep, and speedy cook times.  If you’re doing the same, you must check out this Ooey Gooey Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip recipe!Ooey Gooey Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip with Crackers

It’s pretty much all in the name on this one, cheesy, bacon-y (not a word, but it should be) goodness right on a cracker or chip or by itself.  It’s amazing.  Did I mention that it’s ready in about 45 minutes?  It’s true!  And everyone will love it.  Well, except your kitchen table or counter, because it will probably experience the “ooey gooey” part of this recipe just a little too up close and personal for its liking.Ooey Gooey Bacon Cheddar Cheese Dip Clean Up Tips

That’s not a reenactment, either.  That’s what actually happens when I let my kids eat this dip.  It’s a mess.  A complete and total mess.  All over my cutting board, all over my kitchen table, and sometimes even on my floor.

Fortunately, these little messes can be fixed with a little help from Viva® Vantage® Towels

    I try to serve little individual dishes or small (short) plastic cups and encourage everyone to use the serving spoon to put their own individual serving in the cup. Serves several purposes – gets the people away from the table so others can have a chance, prevents “double dippin”, prevents chips for crackers from breaking off in the main serving dish, lets people take their crackers and dip to where they are sitting (to watch the game, etc.). I provide small plates that are big enough for the dip cup to sit on as well as have room for the crackers. Keeps your serving table clean(er). 🙂 If I stand there and hand people the little cups or serve the dip for them, then hand them the little plate so they can pick out what crackers they want, it helps to give everyone the idea. Little short plastic drink cups (usually clear and only about 2″ tall) are wide enough to use as a dip cup. Will definitely be making your dip recipe – sounds wonderful!! Thank you for sharing it.
