I don't know about your house, but it is truly March Madness around here. My husband has been glued to the television set four days straight. (Let's not even talk about the basketball he was lucky enough to watch in person.) When I was making the grocery list for the week his requests were "Velveeta cheese, Ro*Tel, tortilla chips and salsa." Then he re-iterated, "A lot." So that told me his plans included basketball and queso. And nothing to do with eating a normal dinner at the table away from the tv. Which was fine with Little Devil and I. We had lots of Top Chef episodes to catch up on in the bedroom. I found the perfect dish to serve as a meal. It's really more of a "hearty appetizer" but we made a meal out of it. Kind of like we do with my Texas Stuff recipe. (Which also happens to be the perfect game watching food.) A big serving of this cheesy, meaty stuff, along with a pile of tortilla chips and some fresh guacamole and sour cream made the perfect boy food for basketball watching. I promptly named it Macho Nachos haha!
