I made this and it was delicious – plan to take to the Superbowl party in my neighborhood! However, I think you omitted the cup of canned diced tomatoes from the actual recipe. I assume you add it to the meat, cream cheese, sour cream, ketchup and mustard part? Thought you’d like to know…
I did sorry, and recently fixed it .. yes you were right, adding it to the meat, cream cheese etc.. Hope you enjoyed it
