It�s also shaped like a football, which of course has been proven to taste better to people drinking beer than dips in a bowl. Speaking of beer, I think will pair nicely with something cheap, domestic, and in a can. Save the Pliny for the Kobe sliders.
Needless to say, you can doctor this dip any way you see fit. There are so many ways you can �Tom Brady� this football, and change it to your liking. Some roasted chilies would be great, or maybe even some of that pickled pepper-onion relish I�m about to show you.
If you do want a stiffer mixture, for sculpting a more realistically shaped football, you could use part cream cheese, but I liked the lighter texture, and we still got enough height to qualify as 3-D. So, if you�re looking for a fun and delicious Super Bowl dip recipe, I hope you give this a try. Enjoy!
