A Super Bowl Snack

The Super Bowl is this Sunday and in my fam, the snacks are almost as important as the game (if not more important). You don’t have to guess where my loyalties lie. Who is playing again?

A long-time favorite snack of my dad’s is a rather unusual cheese dip. It has shown up at every Mahaney-family event for as far back as I can remember.

Now let me warn you up front: this combination of ingredients may seem a little weird. But don’t let that stand in your way. My dad is sure you’ll love it. It’s super easy (no pun intended) and only has four ingredients. That sounds appealing, right?

You need 1½ cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese (if you are lazy—I mean, resourceful—like me, you will purchase the already grated stuff), ¾ cup mayonnaise (if Miracle Whip is used, we cannot vouch for the results), 2 tablespoons grated onion, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix it all together and cook at 350* for 20 minutes or until bubbly and brown on top. Use a paper towel to absorb excess oil (oh yeah, did I mention, this isn’t healthy?). Serve it piping hot with Triscuit crackers.   

Go Redskins!
