Go Super Bowl Teams! That's all I've got, folks. Really. On any given year I can't even tell you the team names. This year is a little different only because we have had an excess of snow days lately so I have had the morning news turned on and have seen several segments about the teams. We just aren't football fans at our house. We are, however, fans of Super Bowl snacks so I want to share the recipe for one of my favorites with you. As we turn on the TV for party noise, we will definitely have this on our snack table!
I don't know about you, but every time I go to one of those craft and gift shows near the holidays, I am drawn like a moth to a flame to those dip mix stands with the Rubbermaid containers of pretzels. I find myself near the checkout lane with a stack of little envelopes to purchase but then ultimately come to my senses every time and remember that I don't need them since I have a great recipe of my own!
Yet again, this recipe was one of my grandmother's that she made for our family for years. I grew up eating it and my own girls seem to love it just as much. One of my favorite things about it is that I almost always have the ingredients on hand to fix it any time I need to. It calls for very few ingredients but has so much flavor. If you like it, I suggest buying the ingredients in bulk.
My grandmother's original recipe called for mayonnaise and so that's what I used the first time I ever made it. Right away, I realized it didn't taste like hers always did so I made a quick phone call to figure out what went wrong. What went wrong was that she had years before started replacing the mayonnaise with Miracle Whip but hadn't told me this! It makes all the difference.
Dill Dip (click on title for a printable version)
16 oz. sour cream
3/4 C. Miracle Whip
1 T. minced onion (I use dried onion flakes)
1 T. seasoned salt
1 T. dried dill weed
1 t. garlic salt (you can replace with garlic powder if you feel like it's too salty)
Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
