Did anyone else love the Super Bowl game last night? I sure did. Despite the slow start for the Saints, they pulled it off really nicely; it was a very fun game to watch. And some really funny commercials too. All in all, it was a fantabulous game to watch. The scene of Drew Brees holding his baby and crying brought tears to my eyes. It was a good night.
Bill had to work during the day yesterday, so we just planned a Super Bowl party for two on our new couch (Yeah, it finally arrived two months after we ordered it!). I made roasted cheese with salsa and served it with some yellow corn tortilla chips. The combination of the melting cheese with the hot salsa makes this dip delicious. I originally got the recipe from The Mexican Cookbook, but I adapted it a bit.
Roasted Cheese with Salsa
8 oz. Mexican queso Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup of your favorite salsa
1/2 onion, very finely chopped or green onions finely chopped (I use a combination).
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Cut the cheese into chunks or slabs and place in a shallow ovenproof dish. Spoon the salsa over the cheese to over and then place the dish in the preheated oven. Cook until the cheese melts and is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped onion and serve immediately while hot. (Before the cheese gets stringy when it cools).

Candi, I like sound of this (anything with cheese has to be good!)

I didn't watch the game, but I did have a cheese salsa dip! (The one I made for Sara's birthday, that is.) This recipe looks very simple and tasty too.
