Super Bowl Football Party
Now this one is most definitely what I call a menu — meaning it’s doubtful you’ll cook everything on this big list. But it should give you plenty of selections to pick from to make your party a gastronomical success!
the big guns:
This will be the star of the party. Seven or more pounds, a foot-and-a-half long, six inches wide, full of meat, veggies, cheese, tomato sauce. You’ll get about 16 servings out of this bad boy.
This one takes a while, and at the end you will have your smoke alarms going off as it’s done in the oven. As cooking for parties can be stressful, so maybe this is your dish or maybe you should be like a quarterback in shrinking pocket and pass on this one if you’re not experienced. If you are a first string cook though, your guests will love this.
meaty munchies:
Go to the bottom of the recipe and make the 20 triangles version of this. You will have to pick up special items at the store, but otherwise this is a quick and easy dish that can serve a bunch of folks fast. How can you not have something Mexican on football party day?
Fine, maybe you don’t want to get too expensive, and maybe they guys aren’t going to understand “pancetta” or maybe you can’t find it at the store. No sweat. Hold the pancetta and use thin sliced bacon instead. Gotta have some surf with the turf and this is an under-10 minute dish to make that will wow the buds.
Make up your own pizza, save money, and have fun coming with your own combinations and variations!
gotta have sides:
Oh yeah. This is the manly man super-duper baked potato baby. Cheese, bacon, the woiks!
Even testosterone filled men screaming on game day are allowed to eat salad. And this is no chi-chi stuff. This is beans. For a salad that has no meat, this has a natural “meatiness” to it that even the biggest jock will find refreshing and tasty.
A vegetable side dish that yells out cowboy. (Ok, if Dallas is playing today and you can’t stand them, sorry about that.) Anyway you will definitely want to ride into the kitchen and fix yerself up some of this.
Fill them up with bread! Hey it’s Italian bread, garlic, tomatoes … It’s practially a pizza. Best yet it’s inexpensive and takes 10-15 minutes to make up.
man make fire:
Live in a warm climate or are you just crazy enough to shovel snow to get to your outdoor grill? Then here’s some smokin’ recipes that will kick up the party, big time!
If you’ve got the three plus hours needed to smoke these babies, this will be the new star of your party for sure! One thing, these go fast! Make sure you make enough of ‘em.
Don’t want to spend three hours on the grill, then how about under 15 mintues with this classic winner!
Since the grill is on, and gotta have some sweets, especially the kind laced with alcohol, here’s your special desert for the day.
