I hope 2010 is starting out great for all of you! I have not been posting as much as I would like to, because I have been focusing on a few things…mainly a crazy painful toothache. In my 30 years of life, I have not felt such excruciating pain…I mean I seriously wanted to rip my tooth out with pliers. All is well now after a trip to the dentist cured me! I am also in the process of doing a few things with my blog. So be on the look out for some fantastic new features that will hopefully make My Baking Addiction a more enjoyable place to visit!
I am not a huge football fan, okay let me rephrase that, I am not a football fan at all. According to all of the men I have encountered today, “There is a BIG game on tonight!” In my opinion, Brian labels all of these games as “BIG” because he wants me a.) to make him game appropriate snack food b.) he wants full control the living room TV without me nagging and c.) to make him game appropriate snack food. Yeah he is all about the game night grub. In case you are wondering, I did a little football research for ya and tonight is the BCS Citi National Championship Game between Texas and Alabama. There…I am sure you are all at ease knowing who is playing!
Here is a little game night snack that is not only easy but also pretty darn delicious! It’s so simple to make and I am betting you have most, if not all of the ingredients in your pantry and fridge! Serve is up with some sliced French bread, pretzel crisps, toasted pita or just plain old tortilla chips and put a BIG smile on your football fan’s face for the BIG game! Just be aware that it is incredibly high in fat, so don’t come blaming me if your pants are a little snug tomorrow!
Spicy Sausage Dip
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package pork sausage
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese; room temperature
hot sauce to taste ( I used Sriracha)
Method
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned and no longer pink. Drain. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the tomatoes and cream cheese until evenly blended. Cook just until heated through. Serve warm.

Found this via FoodGawker. I may need to try a vegan version of this by subbing the sausage for soy "sausage" crumbles and the cream cheese for vegan "cream cheese." This recipe just sounds so delicious!
Oh YUM! This sounds so good! Maybe I'll add this to my Superbowl menu (everybody knows Superbowl food is supposed to be fattening!)!

Also saw this on food gawker. Just wanted to let you know that you can also use this filling as a stuffing for mushrooms! I add a little cheddar and chopped green onions. Stuff those babies and bake til teh cheese is melty and gooey. I also toss this in pasta (sans green chiles)
Oh boy does that sound like an amazing dip!
I'm right with you on football. I only volutarily watch one football game a year…and that's the Superbowl. And really I only watch it for the commercials! Great dip though, my hubby would enjoy it.
OMG this looks SO good! I LOVE Siracha!
SO awesome!!! Ill be making this very soon, love how simple it is!
We are watching the Texas/Alabama game right now….no dip though. Well, does my husband count?
Love the look of your blog. Who designed it? I am ready to revamp mine and I love the style of the cartoon at the top of your page.
I've made this minus the sausage and it was good, but I'll bet it'd be even better with the meat! Yum!
This is so addicting! I keep mine in a crock pot. It tastes better when it's warm. Also, I use Scoops chips. It keeps the sausage from falling off.
Sounds super to me! I'd even watch football for it
This is perfect game food! I'm not a huge football fan (although I did watch the Rose Bowl…hello Ohio State!) but I would totally watch it if I got this tasty dip
Sounds perfect for football watching! I may just make this for the superbowl
My father-in-law is coming up to watch football w/my hubby tomorrow… this looks like a perfect addition to the usual munchies they require!
fantastic dip! i love this!
Okay so I tried it last night (my vegan version using Tofutti cream cheese substitute and Boca meatless crumbles). It was out of sight! No actual cooking was needed since the meatless sausage crumbles were precooked. I just heated everything on the stove, mixed it well, and enjoyed. Love, love, love this recipe!
Hahahaha. I love the references to a BIG GAME. It totally means THEY want "game food" and that WE lose control of the TV.
wow a sausage dip! Great idea and very versatile. Looks and sounds so good!
This dip looks so good.
YUM! This dip sounds so delicious…and with the Superbowl right around the corner, I might just have to make this!
YUM! What a good new alternative to the 'typical' velveeta, sausage, ro-tel dip! I'm a HUGE cream cheeser…I'm sure we'd love this!
