Sunday. This time of year it means game day. For the males in my house, it means lots of yelling and cheering. For the girls, well, it essentially means we say "quiet down" a lot and it also means we get to eat yummy food. We may not be as into football as the rest of them, but with the right food, I can cheer and yell like any good sports fan should. Even if I'm not exactly sure why I am cheering or what exactly just happened.
Soon, the biggest game day of the year will be here and I plan to be ready with the best game day snacks ever! So I headed out to Walmart and picked up some of my favorite ingredients to make a game day pizza fondue including Ragú Old World Style Traditional pasta sauce

I was honestly so surprised at how good this turned out, it's delicious and really super easy to make.
You need one jar of Ragú® Old World Style Traditional pasta sauce, a brick of cream cheese and a brick of mozzarella cheese. For the rest of the ingredients, you can use whatever you most enjoy on your pizza.
Pour the sauce into a deep skillet

Heat the sauce over low heat until it's nice and warm, then add in the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Continue over low heat until smooth.
Look at all that yummy cheese! Once the sauce and cheese are blended, simmer over low heat until thickened about 5 minutes or so.
While the sauce is cooking, you can prepare your favorite pizza toppings. I like meatballs and pepperoni but you can also cut up bread, mushrooms, green peppers, ham, olives, pineapple - whatever your heart desires.
Serve the sauce in a fondue pot
You can serve as-is or top with shredded Parmesan cheese and dried parsley or oregano. You could even add more mozzarella on top. You can never have too much mozzarella cheese.
The texture on this is perfect. It sticks to the toppings and doesn't drip, which is perfect for game day food, because you know that mid-bite you will be distracted by a good play that will leave your arm about 12 feet from your mouth (ok maybe not quite that far) as you swivel your head to see the play. This way your fondue doesn't end up on your floor. Licking food off the floor is embarrassing, but trust me that you will want to.
You may want to double the recipe...just sayin'.
