National Championship Thursday

Tonight is the National Championship game and I can't wait to watch. Sorry to any OU & Sam Bradford fans out there, but I thought Tim Tebow should have repeated as the Heisman Trophy winner and I hope he proves it tonight. Go Gators!!

Now, normally I do not pull for Florida, but seeing as how I refuse to pull against the SEC in games of importance, I will be wearing a Florida t-shirt tonight (purchased on a trip to Gainseville to see my beloved Gamecocks play them). And, let's face it...I'm never in my lifetime going to see my team in a national championship game. Steve Spurrier no longer has "it" and the Gamecocks are a lost cause....but that's a rant for a whole 'nother day.

In any case, we are having some friends over to watch the game tonight rather than going out. WEG wants to be able to hear the commentary and that just wouldn't happen in a bar. Now I wish I had bought more football themed things at Target the other day!!

In addition to hamburgers, etc. that we will be making, I will be concocting that delicious, yet oh-so-easy hamburger cheese dip. For all of you weight watchers girls, you'd have to throw your diet out the window for this.

Here's the recipe:

2 lbs Velveeta Cheese- cut into cubes

1 lb Ground Beef (or Sausage if you prefer)

1 Can of Rotel Tomatos with Chiles

1 Can of Cream of Mushroom soup

Brown ground beef and set aside. Place cheese cubes into crockpot/slow cooker and heat until melted (this will take about an hour). Add ground beef, Rotel tomatoes, and cream of mushroom soup and stir. Heat through and serve with Fritos or Tostitos.

This is sure to be a crowd pleaser and my stomach is growling just thinking about it!!
