While everyone in the house is hootin' and hollerin', I'll be in the kitchen putting a few new recipes to the test. Big Game days are always a good time to try new recipes. This Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe from The ESPN Zone in the Downtown District at the Disneyland Resort will be a big hit I'm sure and a fan favorite.
Serve with carrot and celery sticks or chips. I'll be serving it with Sweet Potato and Tortilla Chips.

- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté 2 minutes.
- Add flour; cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in cream and milk, then bring to simmer, whisking often until sauce is thick and coats the back of a spoon.
- Add white pepper and Parmesan, stirring until well incorporated. Remove from heat. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Mix well.
- Fold in cream cheese, stirring well until cream cheese is completely incorporated. Add spinach, stirring to combine. Add artichoke hearts, stirring gently so as not to break up the artichokes.
- Pour mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish and sprinkle mozzarella evenly on top.
- Bake 15 minutes, or until cheese on top is completely melted and bubbling.
- Serve hot with tortilla chips, carrot and celery sticks, and/or garlic bread.
