cheddar-corn dip

The other day, someone said to me, “The best part of football season is the food.”

Come again?

Let’s be honest, the best part about football season is when your team wins the national championship.

But, yes, a close second is all of the quality time with your friends and family watching the games and enjoying great food.  I know my heart rate skyrockets during the games (our coach has slight clock-management issues) and I consider the nervous energy I burn off an excuse to just enjoy more snacks and Abita without worrying about the calories.

This dip is the perfect appetizer for game day parties — its cheap, easy (mix it all in the serving bowl), and tastes great!

Cheddar-Corn Dip

2 (11 oz.) cans Mexicorn
