"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. "~ Revelation 3:20
Did you ever notice how many times meals, food, feasts, and coming to the table to eat are not merely mentioned, but actually celebrated in Scriptures?
For mine and many families, football is just one occasion that brings us together with our best dishes, crocks, and desserts in hand.
And so, in honor of the 82nd NFL draft taking place in Philly starting tomorrow, the first of the Football & Football recipe blogs begins. Today is a Game Dip that honors the beautiful combination of steak, cheese, onion, sauce, and fresh bread that guests of Philadelphia have come to know and love. Here. We. Go.
Frozen Sandwich Steaks ~ 6
Onion ~ 1 Medium
Cream Cheese ~ 16 ounces
Pizza Sauce ~ 14 ounces
Mozzarella Cheese ~ 2 cups, shredded
Italian Bread ~ 2 loaves
While oven is preheating at 350 degrees, brown the steaks in a large skillet on medium heat, breaking them into chipped pieces as you go. When done, drain them in a colander, and set aside.
Chop the onion, and cook in the skillet on low for 15 minutes.
Add the steak and the cream cheese and mix until cheese is melted.
Spread the mixture on the bottom of a 9 by 13 glass pan, or a large square Corningware-style dish. Pour the pizza sauce evenly over the mixture, and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
As it bakes for 25 minutes (or until hot and bubbly), slice the loaves of bread and arrange pieces in a fitting serving tray. I like to set out ketchup, hot sauce, or whatever you got for guests to spread over bread before topping with the cheesesteak dip when ready to go.
Now let's get ready for some football!
Go feast!
