Here’s my wrap-up of In The Kitchen With Polly‘s Top 10 Super Bowl Snacks… Enjoy!
Crockpot Bean Dip: A must! Serve with tortilla chips or Frito’s Scoops. It’s easy to mix up the dip the night before, then put in crockpot 2/3 hours before the party starts Super Bowl—leave it on low/warm for the entire length of the party!
Meatballs on Toast: Men and teenage boys can’t get enough of these! Mix up the meat mixture in advance—the night before is fine—then broil as needed. The recipe is delicious “as is”, but you can certainly put your own signature on it 😀 A friend of mine adds some curry powder and ground lamb to make Curried Meatballs on Toast. Add some cilantro and cumin and red pepper, and have Mexican Meatballs on Toast! Oregano, basil, garlic, lemon pepper…Greek Meatballs on Toast?
Bacon Asparagus Rolls: All veggies can be forgiven when rolled in bacon 😉 Delicious, different, and “two more-ish” as my English Aunties would say—as in, “I’d like two more of those, please!” 🙂 These will make you a legend in your own time.
Baked Chicken Taquitos: A bit more substantial, but can be cut in half for finger food. Don’t forget to sprinkle with salt before baking—serve with a salsa for dipping.
Mozzarella Sticks: Fried Cheese? Fabulous! My 2011 addition to the Super Bowl snack line up, and I know it will be invited back every year. Make the night ahead and freeze, then fry as needed—can be reheated in the oven as needed, too.
Baked Spinach-Artichoke Dip: Might be a bit girlie for a Superbowl spread, but let’s get with the times—girls like football, too! Some men eat quiche, but even more men will enjoy Spinach Artichoke Dip 😀
Blue Cheese Dip with Veggies: Come on, you have to have some raw veggies set out! What better to dip them in than a strong, assertive blue cheese dip? Dip must be make two hours ahead, but making it the night before is fine. Veggies can also be made ahead and stored overnight in refrigerator in air-tight bags. You just need three veggies, really, in order of importance: celery sticks, carrot sticks, and cucumber slices 🙂
Gringo Grandma’s Chili: One always needs a pot of chili for Superbowl Sunday, especially if the game is in Texas! Set up a chili bar—small bowls with spoons, chili in the crockpot, mini corn muffins or cornbread, hot dogs, buns, fries, grated cheese, onion, Tabasco… This recipe makes a lot of chili, leftovers will freeze well, but also make a fine dinner for Monday.
Oven Baked Chicken Nuggets: Make ahead and freeze. Use any boneless chicken—I prefer chicken tenders. Make ahead, and just pull out of the freezer and bake. Set chicken nuggets out next to a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of Ranch dressing 🙂
Oven Baked Fries: You can’t get a more economical Super Bowl snack—make two pans of these, they should be a staple! 😀
Thanks for stopping by my kitchen today! Have a great Super Bowl Sunday—even if you don’t like football! I always enjoy myself and I know next-to-nothing about the game 😉
