Are you ready for game day, but haven’t finalized your snack game yet? The makers of WHOLLY® guacamole, America’s No. 1 refrigerated guacamole made with real ingredients and hand-scooped Hass avocados, have your football entertaining needs covered! To elevate fans’ game day experience, we are tapping Dont’a Hightower, New England team captain and linebacker, family man and self-proclaimed chef, to champion WHOLLY® guacamole products all the way to the end zone.

Hightower may be a three-time champion of football’s most important annual event on the field, but he also boasts major game in the kitchen. Here are two recipes created by Hightower specifically for game day gatherings:

Dont’a Hightower’s Big Game Recipes:

  • Lucky Seven Layer Dip: Form a layer of refried beans on the bottom of a serving dish. Combine sour cream with lime juice and taco seasoning, then add as the next layer. Spread a layer of your favorite salsa. Next, add the most important layer, WHOLLY® guacamole Chunky Guacamole. Sprinkle shredded cheese over everything, then top with lettuce and tomatoes. Dip your favorite chip and enjoy!
  • Guacamole Toast Bites: After slicing a French baguette into rounds, toast at 350 degrees for seven minutes. Spread a generous amount of WHOLLY® guacamole Spicy Guacamole on each piece. Top with hot sauce or eat as is! And if you’d like to take your flavor to the next level, add pulled pork or brisket as a topper.
