Hot Pizza Dip
January marks the start of football’s biggest time of the year. From college bowl games until Super Bowl XL in February, fans will huddle around the television, working up appetites while cheering on their favorite teams. St. Louis District Dairy Council suggests that game-day hosts keep it simple by serving cheesy Hot Pizza Dip. This twist on the classic pizza-by-the-slice uses the same ingredients found in most pizzas, but is served hot and creamy with crackers or breadsticks for dipping. Plus, it offers a healthy dose of calcium and protein, two nutrients needed to make it through the game!
