Super Bowl and Snack Foods

One of my favorite things to cook is what we lovingly call "football food". All of those deliciously yummy treats we eat while watching our beloved Colts play. This year something spectacular is taking place in our home town: Super Bowl XLVI. My husband has always dreamed of going to the Super Bowl and now that "his" team has made it twice, reality has set in and has kept him from going. Two teachers, unfortunately, do not make enough to have the money to go to the big game. Now, the game is here in our town, and although we still can't afford to go to the game we can do the next best thing...we are going downtown on Sunday to hang out before the game and during. This sounds completely crazy to me but who am I to stand in the way of a dream :0). Because we will be downtown, I won't be making any game food this time but that won't stop me from helping you deck out the food table at your Super Bowl party! Here are a few of our favorites! Enjoy! (P.S. Don't forget to check out my previous post on the buffalo chicken dip!)

Deli Pinwheels

Deli sliced ham (or any other meat)
Baby spinach leaves
1 Can Crescent rolls
1 Container Garlic and Herb spreadable cheese

1. Unroll crescent rolls. Pinch seams (or buy that awesome crescent roll sheet!).
2. Spread a thin layer of cheese spread on crescent rolls.

3. Lay a thin layer of deli meat on top of cheese.

4. Top with a single layer of spinach leaves.

5. Roll up crescent rolls starting with the long side.
6. Using a serrated bread knife, cut log into 1/2 in rounds.

7. Place on a baking sheet and bake according to crescent roll directions or until pinwheels are golden brown.

Polish Mistakes (I'll work on some pictures of these soon!)

1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground sausage (I use mild)
1 lb. velveeta
1 loaf cocktail bread (original recipe calls for rye which I don't like so I use French bread)
Dash of garlic powder

1. Brown beef and sausage until cooked through.
2. Add in velveeta and garlic powder.
3. Cook until cheese is melted.
4. Place heaping spoonfuls on drop of bread slices on a cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 min or until bread is slightly toasted.

Have a SUPER party ;0)
