On February 2^nd, 2014 all of America will tune in to watch the 47^th Super Bowl.  This event centers around 2 NFL teams battling for the Championship.  However, it’s also known for the epic, most creative advertising of the year.  And perhaps, most importantly, food.  If you want to blow the minds of your pals at this year’s party, bring them the Buzzfeed’s 47-Layer dip.  7 layers was so last year.  This year its about to get down right gluttonous.  So if you are feeling daring, whip up this treat (you may have to save all that holiday gift money since the dang ingredient list is so long!).  Also, give yourself a couple days, it’s a tad labor intensive, but oh so worth it.

Preparation

2 Days before:

1)   Crush enough Fritos, Cool Ranch Doritos and Nacho Cheese Doritos to get 1 cup of each.  To crush, put one type of chips in a ziplock bag and smash with your hands or bottom of a pot until they’re mostly crumbs.

2)   Cook about 8-10 slices of bacon until crispy and crumble into ½ cup bits.  The best way is to bake the bacon in the over at 375 for about 15 minutes or until crispy.  (If you’re feeling lazy, just buy bacon bits).

3)   Cook each type of rice (brown, white and yellow) according to directions.  Set aside 1 cup of each.

4)   Sauté 1 cup frozen corn in a nonstick pan until water evaporates and it starts to brown.

5)   Hard-boil 3 or 4  eggs.

6)   Stash everything in Tupperware or ziplock bags and refrigerate.

1 Day Before:

1)   Finely chop enough of the below items to yield the indicated amounts:

• hard-boiled eggs (1 cup)
• red cabbage (1 cup)
• iceberg lettuce (1 cup)
• bell pepper (1 cup)
• fresh tomatoes (1 cup)
• mango (1 cup)
• dill pickles (1/2 cup)
• pickled okra (1/2 cup)
• black olives (1/2 cup)
• pickled jalapeños (1/4 cup)
• fresh jalapeños (1/4 cup)
• red onion (1/4 cup)
• scallions (1/4 cup)
• cucumber (1/4 cup)

2)   Grate 1 cup of cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese.

3)   Crumble 1 cup feta or cotija cheese.

4)   Sauté ½ lb. ground beef with ½ packet of taco seasoning.

5)   Cook ½ lb. ground turkey with the remaining ½ taco seasoning.

6)   Sauté ½ lb. chorizo (about 2-3 sausages) until it’s browned and fully cooked, then chop finely.

7)   Round up ½ lb. pork from a local BBQ joint and finely chop.

8)   Bake 1 box Jiffy cornbread.  Crumble 1 cup once it cools.

9)   Again, stash everything in Tupperware or ziplock bags and refrigerate.

On Game Day:

1)   Collect 12-oz. jars or 1.5 cups of these ingredients:

• pico de gallo
• red salsa
• green salsa
• salsa con queso
• guacamole
• sour cream
• ketchup (just 1 cup)

2)   Thoroughly drain black beans and pinto beans (one 12-oz. can each).

3)   Chop avocado and drizzle with lime juice to keep it from browning.

4)   Finely chop chicken nuggets and French fries to yield 1 cup each.  (McD’s is the best option).

5)   Heat up refried beans and beef chili (one 12-oz. can each) in small saucepans.

6)   Cook 1 package boxed man n cheese and set aside 1 cup (go with Kraft).

7)   Bake ½ bag frozen tater tots.

ASSEMBLY!

1)    Start with brown rice in the bottom of a large bowl and work your way up in the order listed below.  Sprinkle each ingredient over the last and then use a spatula to smooth into even layers.

2)    You want to make sure each layer reaches the edge of the bowl so that you can see it!

3)    Sprinkle a little lime juice and salt over the red onion when you get there.

4)    Then at the end, top with 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves and drizzle your favorite hot sauce and ENJOY!!!
