(Pin to Pinterest)

“Are you ready for some football?” Because I sure am! If you are gearing up for the big game and perhaps hosting your own party you will want to check back everyday this week for some awesome recipes. Every day for the next 7 days I will be posting a recipe to help you with planning your menu, tasty party favorites with a flavor twist. You will find dips, appetizers, and even a couple of dessert items for the sweet tooth to include in your big spread.

Today check out a dip that makes an appearance at every party we have – birthdays, holidays, and yes of course football parties. It is simple to make and is usually half gone before I can even get it out of the pan into a serving bowl. It is thick, and hearty, and a bit spicy but even the kids love it. I guarantee once you make it, it will be requested at every party and you forever be know as “The Queso Lady” and be required to show that you have made it before you are allowed to enter the party.

Be sure and serve this with a big bowl of thick chips, this isn’t a sissy dip and may break a lesser chip with its brute strength. If by some odd chance you have any leftover or if you want to make it in advance it reheats beautifully.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 1 pkg. Mild roll sausage ( I use Jimmy Dean)
• 1-16 oz. package Velveeta
• ¾ can Rotel with Green Chiles
• 1-15 oz. Salsa Con Queso
• 1 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat brown sausage and ground beef until thoroughly cooked.
2. Drain off excess oil.
3. Chop Velveeta into squares about 2×2” and add to meat in pan.
4. Stir in Rotel, Salsa Con Queso, and pepper.
5. Reduce heat to low, and stir frequently until all cheeses have melted and until warmed throughout.
6. Serve with a hearty tortilla chip.

Gameday Coffee-Cocoa Rice Krispies Treats Recipe
(Pin to Pinterest)

Another sweet treat for your Superbowl spread – delicious, traditional Rice Krispie treats with a definite grown up twist. Go ahead and make a plain batch for the kid’s and non-coffee lovers… The rest of us will love the unique flavor that the combination of coffee and cocoa create. Make them as small or as large as you like to serve, I usually make a range of sizes for little hands as well as big. If any make it to the end of your party you can wrap in foil and send one home with your guests. They would also make a great party favor if you didn’t want to put them out. You could press them into a pan or form a different shape for other parties-showers, birthdays, or potlucks.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 1-10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
• 6 cups cocoa flavored rice cereal
• 1 ½ tsp. Coffee extract

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a large pan over low heat, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in coffee extract.
2. Immediately mix in rice cereal until thoroughly coated.
3. Pour mixture onto a piece of waxed paper and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
4. Butter your hands well.
5. Scoop up a handful of krispie mixture to your desired size.
6. Form an oval first, squeezing to compact into the shape and to bind krispies together well.
7. Pinch the ends, forming into football shape.
8. You can purchase white writing icing in a tube or place white frosting or even melted white chocolate in a baggie, snip off small corner and use it to create the white laces on your football.

Football Turf Tip: Shake a few drops of green food coloring and shredded coconut in a plastic Ziploc bag. Shake to make green grass or turf and lay your Krispies on top.
