Title: SuperBowl Food
Post by: Bobo1 on January 17, 2012, 04:25:12 AM
How about everyone sharing your favorite Superbowl food/snack recipes.  Doesn't have to be BBQ or even cooked outdoors (or even cooked at all for that matter). 8)

For the Superbowl we always order Lido's Pizza. It is an old pizza place that has been in the valley as long as I can remember. One topping large pizza's are around 18.00 but they are insanely good. Thin hand rolled crust. They make their own sausage...don't get me started on their cheese. We only eat there one time a year and I am just under -3- weeks away...........

We always have a super bowl party.  Order a 100 wings from Hooters (medium).  Take a bottle of my Original with me and they put in the sauce before tossing.  So much better.  I usually do a smoked butt and ribs.  Home made taco's and of course all the finger food with cold beer and good wine.  Fun time!  Phil

My man dip is a must have. 3 ingredients..5 minutes to make and guys just love this stuff.
Get a bag of BIG scoops or round tostitos.
Brown 1lb of sausage, hot is good here. Cook till done then
Add 1 can of Rotel tomatoes, hot is good here too or regular if your shy.
Mix well and add 1 - 8oz pkg of Philadelphia cream cheese, cut up in chunks.
Let melt together and eat. Enjoy.
I put in a small crock pot. I also make my own wangs. These are almost done.

Knorr's Spinach Dip is a must (has to be made the day before)
A big pot of Diana's Chili (SWMBO) with Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream
Cheese and crackers and maybe some bacon candy
And this year will be a big batch of smoked wings

I make a dip using some left over mexican taco stuff I make.  for the tacos I brown 2lbs hamburger and onions.  drain, add in 2 cans chilli beans (hot or mild), 1 can black beans, 1 can Rotel (hot or mild), package of taco seasoning and I add a little more mexican seasoning I have. We will make burritos, tacos, or taco salad from this.  You can freeze any left overs. 

For the Dip, I take this meat mixture and add it to a crockpot with a mixture of Velveeta mexican and a package of Mexican melting cheese (it's a white cheese with peppers you an find in the dairy section of your grocery store). If still too thick, you can thin out with some milk.  Makes an excellent dip or you can ladle it over tortilla chips, garnish with black olives and jalepeno slices, chopped tomatos and cilantro and you have a plate of Macho Nachos. You can keep this dip warm in the crock and it will feed a whole bunch for the whole game.

Bobo - the Mexican melting cheese..Is that queso fresco?

Bobo - the Mexican melting cheese..Is that queso fresco?
Not sure.  In Wal-mart they have a little section of Mexican food in the cheese section - has several brands - one in a square container was called mexican melting cheese, saw another one that said queso fresco.  May be the same thing but made by different brand?  I just use the white cheese to help mellow the velveeta.  I know some folks that mix philly cream cheese with velveeta in their dip recipes. You could just use straight velveeta or mix in any other cheese that will melt good.  The great thing about this recipe is that there is no one right way to do it.

Bobo..the queso fresco melts wonderfully but is a lil on the salty side. I shredded it and stuffed poblanos with it..It was nice and stringy when you cut into the peppers..like a good pizza does.  Pam ★*˚°。°

I bet everyone here has had those meatballs in a sauce made from Heinz Chili Sauce & grape jelly.

Well last year I did a BBQ twist on those: Moink Balls in a Grape Jelly & BBQ sauce. They seemed to go over well with the family so I'll most likely make them this year as well.

How about this recipe??

This appetizer is called "PIG SHOTS"

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/OldDave/DSC01027.jpg)

The ingredients are Polish Kielbasa sausage cut into about 1/2" wide pieces
1/2 strip of bacon
Cream cheese
Sugar Twin or brown sugar (We use Sugar Twin to keep this a low carb treat)
Rub (optional)
Toothpicks
A cookie sheet sprayed with some Pam.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/OldDave/DSC01028.jpg)

Cut some pieces about 1/2" wide and wrap with a half a piece of bacon leaving some room at the top for the other ingredients. Pin with a toothpick. Will kinda look like a shot glass when done.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/OldDave/DSC01029.jpg)

Add some cream cheese to each shot glass.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/OldDave/DSC01030.jpg)

Then add some Sugar Twin or brown sugar on top of the cheese. If you want, you can also sprinkle on some of your favorite rub.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/OldDave/Hasty%20Bake%20Cookers/DSC00821.jpg)

Place them into a cooker , grill, or smoker and cook them until the bacon gets done to your liking. I do them at 350 degrees and it takes about an hour. Probably take up to two hours in a smoker at 250 degrees.

Good Stuff!

Better make a few as these things are good!

Dang, that is a great idea.

Even leave them empty, and the guests can fill the 'shot' with some pulled pork and a bit of slaw/sauce!   Or tater tots..

You could give Old Dave  a tire that's been sitting at the bottom of a pond for a year and he'll come up with a recipe to make it something you'd serve to you best buddies.  Dee

Post by: teesquare on January 19, 2012, 11:16:29 PM
That is a true statement Dee!

 I am thinking about the Super Bowl party menu for this year....and several variations of these for apps/snacks.....

Like a plop of strawberry - rhubarb preserves and minced fresh jalapeno on top of the cream cheese.

or some fig preserves with lightly salted,toasted almond slivers

or just a honey-bourbon finishing sauce drizzled over the cream cheese, and a few chili pepper flakes for good measure

Post by: Pam Gould on January 20, 2012, 09:45:27 AM
Or..chopped up pig candy and Tommy's bourbon sauce with peaches and jalapenos over the cream cheese.
