Looking for some good ideas for SuperBowl. What will you be preparing and serving during the "big dance"?

Last year I made wings for the first time ever, and everyone raved about them.

I got several big bags of frozen wings, which turned out to be pretty big pieces. I parboiled them first for a few minutes in an attempt to get rid of some of the fat, and then sprinkled on a lot of chili powder, garlic powder, and envelopes of Good Seasons Italian dressing mix, till they were all well coated. Then I put then on a rack in a big pan and baked them till they were nice and brown.

Veggies and dip (made with light sour cream and Good Seasons + instant onions, and light sour cream + hidden valley ranch mix, in each case using only half of the dry mixes b/c of sodium)

Also my chili - ground beef, lots of onion and garlic - chili powder and cumin seed - reduced sodium beef broth, and cans of rinsed beans, various kinds. NO tomato.

We have laid in a huge lasagna (a fund raising from the local senior center). A ring of giant shrimp (I know, an oxymoron). Chips, warm artichoke/jalapeno dip. Lots of veggies. Sufficient adult beverages of the red, white, amber, and more spirited varieties.

Firewood for the fireplaces. A possibility of snow, and no one has to drive anywhere.

Go Pack! DW is a Wisconsin girl. I have to support them.

I make queso dip too:

In a large microwave safe bowl heat the following for 2-3 min.:

1 can of refried beans
1 jar of salsa
2 C. shredded cheese
optional - cooked and drained spicy Mexican sausage
(You can double or triple the ingredients for a big group.)

Stir together until well-blended and heat for 3-5 more min. and stir again.

Keep hot in a crock pot during the game & serve with tortilla chips.

Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

A friend turned me onto Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip. Oh so bad for your waistline & heart, but really nice on the tastebuds:

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 (12 ounce) bottles hot sauce ( use whole bottle or just half, if desired. I use Frank's Red Hot Original)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (16 ounce) bottles bleu cheese salad dressing ( or can use ranch or 8 oz blue cheese and ranch)
2/3 cup chopped celery
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese or 3 cups monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend

Directions

Preaheat oven top 350.

In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, celery and cheese.

In a saucepan over med-low heat, combine cream cheese and salad dressing and stir until smooth. Stir in bottle of hot sauce ( don't have to use entire bottle if you want it milder). Pour heated mixture into bowl with chicken mixture. Stir to mix well.

Pour into a 13" x 9" baking pan. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until bubbly----make sure top doesn't get browned. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm OR cold-----tastes best warm--- with celery or other veggies and crackers.

DH is making his chili to take to a party. Don't forget cheddar cheese, oyster crackers (they're less messy than saltines) and onions on the side. I'm also bringing relish for the hotdogs (they didn't have it last time :eek: ). Go Steelers!!!!

One of the easiest party foods I've ever made was recommended to me by my mom. Take frozen, pre-made meatballs (I prefer ones made from ground turkey, but beef would work as well) - put them in a crock pot with several jars of sweet and sour sauce. Cook on low for a few hours. That's it - I've taken these to parties, pot luck events at work, and made them for gatherings here at the house, and people always ask me for the "recipe". Makes me feel a bit guilty, honestly :)
