I took it upon myself to be the official Superbowl chef for my sister and her husband and their pack of football loving foodies. It was an exciting undertaking and I did a lot of research before hand (aka watching countless Paula Deen episodes on Food Network) to make sure the menu was worthy for game day. I decided on homemade Guac and chips, BBQ beer lil' smokies, twice baked potato skins with bacon, cheddar, chives and sour cream, chicken wings, meatball sliders, baked onion rings, and football rice krispies for dessert. I'm going to get better at taking pictures. I was drinking too much of the Superbowl punch I made (Corona, vodka, club soda, and limeade, delicious!) while cooking that I completely forgot about pictures. So here are a few.
I definitely recommend the potato skins they were very simple! (*note: brushing melted butter on the skins before baking the second time really gave them a little more crisp and a lot more flavor.) The wings were cooked in the slow cooker the day before and allowed to marinate further over night. It made the chicken tender and easy assembly for game day. I don't have a picture of the baked onion rings but they were fantastic. Just dip in sliced onions in a little bit of flower salt and pepper, then in an egg mixture and finally in some Italian seasoned bread crumbs...fast, delicious and healthier than frying them! The rice kripy footballs were straight off the official Rice Krispy website; cocoa Krispy's, butter, marshmallows and peanut butter.
I think all recipes were easy and scrumptious and made for a fabulous Superbowl Extravaganza. I could care less about the outcome of the game and the boys didn't have to miss any of the action because their housewife was doing all of the work for them.
Success!
