Patriots. Eagles. Football’s grandest stage, Super Bowl 52. Whether you are rooting for the Eagles or the Patriots, you’re in for an amazing game with two great teams. The Patriots, led by the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) himself, Tom Brady, aim for their sixth Super Bowl win under the Brady Belichick era. While the Eagles are riding a “Cinderella season” after losing elite quarterback Carson Wentz, the Eagles look to do what they couldn’t do 13 years ago against Brady and Belichick. The Super Bowl is a excuse to have a big viewing party, which I’m 100 percent for, and at a big party you want food that people will remember. I love making food, especially if other people are eating it. It’s a way to surprise people and have a good time. For Super Bowl 52, here are some tasty snacks from around the internet to make your party, no matter who wins, a winner.

Legarrette Blount’s Loaded Tater Tot Dip

Ingredients:

• 3 cups tater tots (about 45 whole tater tots), thawed and halved or roughly chopped
• 1 cup (meatless) meatballs, crumbled (try pre-cooked shredded chicken, (meatless) chicken nuggets, tofu, tempeh, bacon, or bacon bits)
• 16-ounces sour cream (regular, light, vegan, or soy okay)
• 2 cups shredded cheese blend, divided (blend of colby, jack, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, vegan, or soy-cheese)
• 2 teaspoons all-purpose seasoning blend, or to taste (Lowry’s, Trader Joe’s 21 Salute, Mrs. Dash, a pinch of garlic or onion powder)
• salt and pepper, optional and to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 ℉ and spray a 9-inch pie dish or similar oven-safe baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
2. Slice thawed tater tots in half or place a large pile on cutting board and roughly chop them; retain some size and texture and don’t chop them too small.
3. Transfer tater tots to a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the meat or protein option, sour cream, add one cup cheese, seasoning blend, salt, pepper, and stir to combine.
5. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
6. Top with remaining one cup cheese. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until top is bubbly and golden browned.
7. Serve immediately with crackers, bread, pita chips or pita bread, tortilla chips, dip tater tots into it, or just eat it with a spoon. Store leftover dip in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I recommend eating leftovers taco casserole-style by setting a piece on top of a mound of crackers or chips and microwaving for about 1 minute. Dip can also be made fresh and served like a casserole, but I prefer it as a dip.
