Congrats to Clemson on winning the National Championship!
It was a great game, and although we were sad Alabama lost, we still had a great time noshing on delicious food…
I was going to post these recipes later this month in time for the Super Bowl, but I have had so many requests for these recipes I wanted to share them ASAP
They will be perfect for the Superbowl, getting cozy by the fire, or any upcoming event or gathering
This is the menu from Monday night’s game
Tide Pride Fondue is adapted from Olla-Podrida’s Baked Pimento Cheese Dip, and you will be tempted to eat it by the spoonful
It’s a warm version of my favorite Pimento Cheese recipe, with the addition of cream cheese for extra creaminess, and Worcestershire for a kick. If you want more spice add a dash of hot sauce, cayenne pepper or green chilies
Fritos scoops and celery sticks ensured a mouthful of cheesy dip
