Christina's Hot Dip:

We discovered this dip for the Super Bowl last year and it's quickly become a football tailgate/party staple.

Ingredients:

- 8 ounce packaged cream cheese (let soften for 20 minutes prior)

- 1 cup sour cream

- 2 cans refried beans (16 ounces each) or if the store has a double can, you can do that like I did

- 1 package taco seasoning

- 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees

- in a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, refried beans & sour cream

- mix in packet of taco seasoning

- pour mixture into 9x13 baking pan OR multiple smaller pans

- Sprinkle both cheeses evenly on top of the mixture

- Bake for 25-30 minutes

- Let cool and then serve with tostitos chips

The Fun:

We were all in sweats/pajamas and ready to really enjoy the game in a comfortable style, SO there aren't too many photos of us enjoying the game, food and night.

Wing Prep

The boys put a treat on each the Broncos logo and the Seahawks logo to let Nash pick the winner

He ran right to the Broncos logo with no hesitation -- we for sure thought they were going to be the winners. I guess we won't leave any big decisions up to Nash anytime soon.
