Are you ready for another simple football snack that is sure to be a crowd pleaser on game day? It’s got crunch, a little heat, fresh ranch dressing, and it’s topped with a creamy medley of cheeses. Like I explained in my previous post football season, especially Superbowl, attracts the fans and also the grubbers. Even if you are watching the game alone you have to have something to snack on. That something needs to be easy to make and enjoyable to consume.
This week I made a clean break from all of the old, unused, and icky salad dressings hanging around the refrigerator. Not that it’s something to brag about but I am almost certain one had a growth of some sort going on. Replacements were necessary and I was in the mood to try something new. New being the great tasting Naturally Fresh® dressings that are made with real buttermilk and natural ingredients, the finest at that. After inhaling a big leafy salad covered in Classic Ranch I knew that it would be even more delicious on my game day creations, especially the homemade cheesy bread I had my heart set on. Add a few spicy jalapenos on there and you have yourself a lighter version of my favorite, the jalapeno popper!
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of French bread, sliced
- Naturally Fresh® Classic Ranch Dressing
- 1 cup of shredded three cheese mixture
- diced jalapenos
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Slice French bread into pieces, about 1 inch thick. Place pieces on baking sheet.
3. Add 1 heaping tbsp. of dressing to the tops of each. Smooth out layer until the surfaces are covered.
4. Sprinkle on a generous amount of cheese and add a few jalapenos on top.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges of crust begin to brown. Broil on 300 degrees for an additional 5 minutes and remove once cheese begins to bubble.

I would probably use it primarily as a dip, but I could see it being a great spread for certain sandwiches.
