Ordering a Pizza for the Super Bowl?..Just Dip It Instead




LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
It is Super Bowl week after all, and no Super Bowl party would be complete without a super dip. And especially a super dip that's pizza based. Dana Bowen, who's the executive editor for Every Day With Rachael Ray Magazine told Tonia's Kitchen about their Pizza Supreme Dip. Dana says it's just like pizza, but in dip form.  It even has a health benefit for those watching carbs.  Dana told Tonia she layers mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce with toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms and onions in between.  Bake it all up and serve with breadsticks.  You might not even miss the crust! You definitely won't miss the two hour wait time for delivery on Super Bowl Sunday
