Roy Roberts' Arkansas Hot Cheese Dip

Ingredients:

Two 8-oz blocks of cream cheese, softened
6 oz. crumbled blue cheese
One bottle of blue cheese dressing
Two cups shredded cheddar cheese
One 16-oz jar of high-quality hot salsa
4 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce

Preheat oven or smoker to 350 degrees F.  Mix all ingredients except for one ½ cup of the cheddar cheese.  Place mixed ingredients into a baking dish, sprinkle top with remaining half cup of cheese, and bake for 30 minutes until bubbling.

Serve with corn chips and celery sticks.

Tip of the Week:

Since the football season coincides with the cold and flu season, always keep sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizing lotion on hand for your guests.  Also, since there is always a lot of shaking of hands at a tailgate, if you are serving ribs or other finger foods, I like to have an extra stock of vinyl food-handlers’ gloves on hand to distribute to my guests.  Not only is this more healthful, it keeps your hands from getting messy right before the big game.
