Friends, there is no excuse for not eating like you're watching a major sporting event, even if you're not watching a major sporting event. So mash those avocados into guacamole! Put those jalapeno poppers in the deep fryer! Douse those wings with ranch dressing! There's never an inappropriate occasion to host an Eat Like It's the Super Bowl party. And remember, step one in any great plan is taco dip.
My taco dip is pretty far from actual tacos, but it's got enough generic taco flavors that it fits the bill. It's easy, it impresses, it's delicious, and it'll clog your arteries and kill you the second you turn you back on it.
Step 1. Taco Dip
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 package regular ol' taco seasoning
1 16-oz can regular refried beans
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Put the cream cheese and seasoning in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Spread into the bottom of a 9" cake pan or any similarly-sized oven-proof dish.
Spread the refried beans evenly over the layer of taco-flavored cream cheese.
Spread the shredded cheese evenly over the layer of refried beans.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and heat at 350 for about 20 minutes, until warm throughout. Remove the aluminum foil and put back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Serve warm with chips aplenty or spoon it directly into your mouth if no one is looking. Not that I would ever do that . . .
