Superbowl Party Food

February 4, 2011 By Delia

Pittsburgh against Green Bay. Steelers against Packers. Terrible Towels against Cheeseheads…One of the biggest sporting events in the world, this years is billed to be one of the best games of all time. And it’s only fair to get a load of friends over, beers in the cooler, with lots of easy food.

Lombardi Trophy

So what have we got on the cards?

Nachos Chips
Melted Cheese, Jalapenos, a small amount of Chopped Tomatoes, Sour Cream and Guacamole, this dish is a great favourite at any party.

Lay half of the Nachos out on an Ovenproof dish, sprinkle with some Cheese, then lay some Tomatoes, Jalapenos, Sour Cream and Guacamole on top. Lay the rest of the Nachos on top, followed by the rest of the toppings, and place under a medium heated grill until Golden Brown, and the Cheese has melted.

Pizza
Using the bases mentioned here, you can easily change the toppings – try some Beef and Jalapenos, Three Cheeses, and some Chicken and Sweetcorn toppings for them.

Follow the instructions for the Pizza Bases, and place the toppings on before returning to the oven for the final sessions, to allow them to cook and crisp over.

Southern Fried Chicken
This recipe is a personal favourite. You can use different cuts of Chicken to make sure that you have a lot of these, or you may miss the third and fourth quarter making more!

These are great hot or cold, so if you don’t have a series of fryers, or someone specially in to cook, it may be worth serving them cold!

Pretzls
Nothing says Beer Snack, like a traditional Pretzel! And flavour these with some different spices and flavourings – Cinnamon, Salt or Garlic are all good flavourings that can go well on this snack.

Big Baskets of these – not even in the traditional shapes, but in any pattern – go down VERY well.

Above all – if you’re going out, have a game plan – don’t drink and drive, have a designated driver, or take a cab!

Super Bowls of Awesomeness

February 2, 2009 By Lorraine

Superbowl Sunday is over! Do you know where your chicken wings are?

Chances are, the answer is in your tummy- along with other traditional Superbowl goodies. Every year, American food bloggers start posting some of the most sinfully delicious recipes in the days leading up to the Superbowl. This year was no different- from spicy Buffalo wings to pico de gallo, from jazzed up onion dips to cheese balls that make you go weak at the knees, the best thing about Superbowl recipes is that they’re actually great all year round. Here, a round-up of my favorites this year:

Chicken Wings
Can you have Superbowl without wings? Ree Drummond over at The Pioneer Woman Cooks posted a link to her classic Wings recipe, which I’ve made several times and love fiercely. For something a little different, check out Priscilla’s Tempura Chicken Wings, which use a sweet soy marinade instead of the usual hot sauce.

Chili
A bowl of Chili is, for me, one of the greatest comfort foods around. This year, Style Slacker’s Chipotle Chocolate Gourmet Chili had my mouth watering just reading the recipe. And because I’m trying to cut down on my meat consumption, I’m loving the Adventurous Vegan’s recipe for Big Paul’s Chili – because yes, Vegans can have fun in the kitchen too.

More Finger Food
Forget the forks and knives, and grab these:
Ed Levine’s Bacon-Cheddar Popcorn – truly inspired. Must. eat. this.
Simply Recipes’ Chicharrones de Pollo – yes, chicken again, but little fried bits of heaven? Yes, please.
And again from the Pioneer Woman, Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies – made with just three ingredients, and seriously addictive.

Sweet Stuff
Slashfood linked to Nigella’s (yes, there’s only one Nigella) Peanut Butter Squares as a Superbowl treat, but really- couldn’t you eat these every day? The same could be said of The Bumbling Baker’s Guinness Cupcakes, which she initially made for St. Patrick’s Day, but are perfect for Superbowl (hello, they’ve got beer in them!) or, like I said, any day.

So there you have it: my favorite Superbowl recipes, to be enjoyed after the Superbowl- because they’re that awesome.
