Menus for the Superbowl?

What is everyone planning for the Superbowl. My DH is looking at the same menu we had for the AFC Championship and I want to surprise him with something new. If not we'll have this again:

Sausage and Spinach Soup
Terryaki Drumsticks
Buffalo Chicken Strips
Celery w/Blue Cheese
Cheesecake (This is Atkins Cheesecake?)

Any new suggestions would be appreciated!

GO PATS!

I just found this recipe but have yet to try it. Thinking about it for next weekend. My first thought was "I bet this would be something good to dip a celery stick in".

Amish Dip

8 ounces of cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 can (6 1/2 oz.) tuna, drained
1/2 cup chopped and pitted olives
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Black pepper to taste

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine all ingredients, using more or less mayo, depending on your desire for a thinner dip or a thicker spread.

The original recipe was featured on PBS "Quilt Country with Marcia Adams". It was often served on dark heavy bread as a sandwich at quilting bees.

How about Dottie's Stuffed Mushrooms? My DH loves these!

8 ounces mushroom -- white button
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 pound pork sausage -- breakfast roll sausage
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese -- finely shredded, optional
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
4 cups water
2 tablespoons lemon juice

How to Prepare:
Preheat oven to 350f.

Wash mushrooms and remove stems. Bring water and lemon juice to a boil and add mushroom caps. Let boil for 2 minutes - then pour in a colander to drain. Crumble sausage in a skillet and cook until completely done - about 10 minutes. Let cool. Chop mushroom stems. Once the sausage is cool, mix the cream cheese, salt and pepper, chopped mushroom stems and cheddar cheese (if used) to form a thick mixture.

Divide the mixture among the mushroom caps, mounding. Place stuffed mushrooms in a casserole and bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until filling is bubbly and mushrooms are slightly soft.

I get about 10 mushrooms per 1/2 lb.

*You can skip the boiling step if you prefer a firmer mushroom! Just stuff and bake.

I'm having cheese fondue. See the recent cheese fondue link below for recipe.

We are making Seasoned baked Chicken wings, and Cheese sticks deep fried breaded in a combination of Bake mix, pork rinds, garlic salt and flax meal. The cheese sticks will come out best if you freeze them prior to deep frying. We also cut ours in half to make more Also thinking about lil smokies in the crock pot.

my make roomie is really excited for the superbowl, so Im going to make a 7 layer mexican dip (minus the beans) and serve it with Chips for him, and veggies for me. I havent decided on anything else, but would love ideas....

[PiDevil]

There was a very delicious sounding chili recipe the the weekend paper made with shredded beef & pork. I'll make 1/2 batch with beans & 1/2 without. I'll serve it at halftime with shredded cheese, sour cream, cornbread and salad.

We'll probably also have chicken wings, cheese & crackers, etc.

Dessert LC cheesecake of course!

we have an annual superbowl party we go to, and I always bring these swedish meatballs:

they are a bit time-consuming (not really hard, though) but SO good! and you can stick them in a crock pot all day.

I'm definitely going to try those swedish meatballs (but minus the celery). Thanks.

1) Deli meat sliced thicker than normal and rolled around a pickle and/or cream cheese (maybe cheese/jalapeno spread). You can order by slices rather than weight at the deli.
2) Meat and cheese tray. Figure 1/4 lb meat per person. Order your meat sliced thick, then cut the slices of meat and cheese in half (diagonally for the cheese, looks better). Let the deli worker know what you are doing, so she can slice appropriately. Lay on a tray or plate.
3) ****tail weenies and meatballs with toothpicks in them
4) wings
5) chicken on a stick: get boneless thighs or breasts, cut into strips, stick on bamboo skewer (soak skewers if you want). Brush with oil and grill or bake. I've done them on the GF grill. Primo! Serve with peanut sauce (peanut butter, cream, fresh lime juice, coconut milk, fish sauce ... make up your own recipe).
6) Deviled eggs
7) Mini omelets/crepes. Take omelet/crepe recipe and do by tablespoons on griddle. Put tiny bit of filling and fold in half or quarters.
8)Crepe burritos. Make crepes and stack. Have bowls of fillings for the guys to fill their own. Chicken/tuna salad, taco beef, pico de gallo, etc.
9) Nothing. To hell with the guys, go out with the girls and make them deal with their own food! They're adults, aren't they? Shop instead!

Oh yeah, easy way to make meatballs: take your favorite meatball mix and roll it into a roll. Slice every inch or two to make square meatballs.Roll individual squares into balls. Much faster than scooping some out and rolling it into a ball.

Awesome with Sherrie's Tortillas/Wraps They were a little time consuming, but oh so very good!
Chicken Quesedillas
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
1 Tbsp. chili powder
Garlic salt
Black ground coarse pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 large onion
Green pepper, optional*
8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese (2 c)
Flour tortillas, package of 10 (smaller size in diameter)
Spray margarine (I use "I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter)
In a large frying pan, add just enough oil to coat it. Turn to medium high and add the chicken tenderloins and the sliced onion. Cook until the chicken loses all its pinkness and the onions are sautéed and limp. When they are cooked through, add black pepper, garlic salt, chili powder and cayenne to taste. Stir lightly to mix the flavors and turn heat down to simmer and cover. Let cook for about another 10 to 15 minutes. (You don’t want to overcook the chicken.)
Cut the chicken up into bite sized pieces in the pan. In the meanwhile (if you have a griddle or very large frying pan), start it up and get it ready to prepare.
Note: You noticed I had written green pepper as an option. For those who like green pepper, you may want to slice one up and put it into a smaller pan to sauté and add this to your chicken and onion mixture.
Take a flour tortilla and spray with butter spray on one side entirely. Place butter side down onto the griddle or pan to begin cooking. On half of the tortilla put enough chicken-onion mixture and cover with shredded cheddar. Flip the other half of the tortilla over to cover the chicken and cheese (it should look now like a half moon).
Press down with a spatula and allow the tortilla to brown a little. Then turn the tortilla over so the other side can brown. Continue to do back and forth until it is nice and crispy. You can do as many as your griddle or pan will hold at a time.
Place on a plate while cooking the others, or serve them to your family and friends as they are cooked. They can be eaten by hand whole or you may use a pizza cutter to cut into half or quarters. You may also add jalapeños or dip in salsa or with sour cream.

Diane - thanks for the Superbowl Ideas. Can you tell me or post more details about your crepe burritos?

I have used Ozgals crepe recipe in the RR and it is ok, rather eggy, though. Care to share yours?

Thanks! Cindy

PiDevil - Speaking of Chili, I just made Martha Stewart's Real Deal Chili and it's great. It calls for Masa flour (finely ground cornmeal). You can omit this since it just acts as a thickener at the end. It's really, really good and is open to adding any vegetables as you might see fit.

Here's the link:

Just got this yummy sounding recipe from Top Secret Recipes. I can't post it here, but hopefully this link is okay and won't be removed.

http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/recipes/marcsdip.htm

Per MasterCook, at 8 serving it is only 4 carbs (holding the bread dippers, of course), but from the ingredients it looks like these would be VERY large servings so it could be less. I hope to make it for the Super Bowl, but if anyone beats me to it, please post your results.
