My Sundays just got a whole lot better… because FOOTBALL is upon us! There is nothing i’d rather do then to sit back relax and watch some football. What makes it even better is the food that I enjoy while I watch it. Classic comforts like nachos, wings, beer, chili, chips & dip are definitely some top go-to snacks. Football and snacks that’s my kind of Sunday.

I’ve kicked things up a notch by combining 3 Sunday musts into 1. YEP! It’s been done. Snack goals right here. You’ve got beer, cheese, chili all in one. Does it get any better??

This recipe makes a lot. Everytime I make this I stash some away in the freezer and I’ve got myself a whole new dip for the following weekend. It’s perfect just heat the oven to 375 degrees F and warm for 25 minutes.
