In preparation for the Super Bowl on Sunday, I though I’d share one of Tim’s favorite dips (and also because I am making this for the Super Bowl party we’re attending). The recipe comes from Frank’s® RedHot®—which is the key ingredient. Now, I’m a little bit of a wuss when it comes to spicy food, so I don’t eat a lot of it, but I do try to eat it.
The dip is super easy and only takes about 20 minutes to bake. I do modify the original recipe slightly. I used reduced fat cream cheese and I also add reduced fat feta cheese to the mixture. I know those two reduced fat items don’t really matter with a dip like this, but every little bit helps…right? I also broil the shredded mozzarella on top of the dip, instead of including it in the dip mixture. Enjoy!
