I actually made this dish during the Super Bowl and I'm just now getting around to blogging about it. Maybe I was trying to block out the memories from that night. That was a horror show for me because I am a huge (HUGE) Peyton Manning fan. After several nights of crying myself to sleep, I can finally move past that awful game. The silver lining was this was a great snack.
I got the recipe from www.foodnetwork.com. They had a list of top 25 Super Bowl snack ideas, and this one sounded really good to me. I love a good dip. Hummus, French Onion, Queso, Salsa, you name it! And horseradish is such a grown-up ingredient. I always remember that my dad liked it. He has very little tolerance for spicy foods -- but he loves that horseradish burn. It's totally different. You feel it in your cheeks and your sinuses, rather than scorching your mouth.
It's really quite easy to make. Just mix together 3 cups of grated cheddar cheese, 1/3 cup dry white wine, 1/3 cup sour cream, 3 Tbsp drained prepared horseradish, and 1/2 tsp paprika. Pulse, puree, or blend it all together to achieve the consistency you like.
It is great with pretzels or celery sticks, as pictured above. It's also really good on potato chips or spread on some pita or a little toast. It's rich and has a really nice tang to it. Now I just have to find some other uses for that horseradish I bought.
