So it's Friday and no one has taken charge of where your group of friends is going to watch the Super Bowl. And with so little time, how can you pull it together and still hope to have at least one lazy weekend day? Hip Hostess is about to show you how easy (and fun!) a last minute SB Party can be.
1. Make it a BYOB. Football calls for beer, not fancy drinks. Everyone can bring their favorite brewskies and you aren't stuck lugging several cases home from the bodega.


4. Food! Don't kill yourself trying to do everything. Football is synonymous with snack type foods so have your pals each bring a hearty appetizer to share. Below is my mother-in-law's famous Tex-Mex Dip that's best served with your favorite tortilla chips. It is truly one of the few times that I search for velveeta anymore...but it's worth it!
And if your are feeling extra special, most grocery stores have sugar cookies in the bakery that are shaped like footballs or helmets. It's kitchy cute and delicious. Just remember...laces out!!

Tex Mex Dip
1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 T Paprika
2 small containers of velveeta (or Mexican spiced velveeta, if you can find it)
3 medium onions (chopped)
2 T Cumin
4T Chili Powder
2 8oz jars of salsa (which ever heat you prefer)
1 can of diced tomatoes (Hunts Special is our fave)
Cook the onions over medium heat in a medium sized dutch oven for about 10 minutes or until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 more minute. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
Meanwhile melt the velveeta in a double boiler or microwave. When beef is fully browned, add the cheese, spices, salsa, and tomatoes. Cook until heated through and then bring the heat down to low. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
