SmallGovCon Week in Review: February 7-11, 2022

Posted on by

Happy Friday, Blog Readers! We are sad that our Kansas City Chiefs will not be playing in the Super Bowl, this Sunday, but nevertheless it should be a competitive game and fun to watch. If you are heading out to that Super Bowl Party or just staying in this weekend, we thought we would share a delicious dip recipe from one of our SmallGovCon team members to enjoy during the big game.

9 Layer Italian Dip

  • 1lb. Italian Sausage (browned & drained)
  • (2) Bricks of Cream Cheese
  • (1) Package Zesty Italian Salad Dressing Mix
  • (1) Package Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Your Favorite 6 Pizza Toppings (Pepperoni, Olives, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichoke Hearts, etc.)
  • Mix the cream cheese with the salad dressing mix and spread on bottom of baking dish. Layer your pizza toppings over the sausage with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. It’s great served with garlic bread. Enjoy!
