The Love of Foods!

After further review, it has come to my attention that the Super Bowl no longer celebrates the things it used to: football, sports, betting or anything else having to do with the game. What did everyone look forward to and talk about afterward? Commercials, celebrities, performances, drinking, mess-ups and of course FOOD.

My favorite part was definitely the food. Not only do I enjoy the culinary tradition of finger foods and dipables, but I love actually preparing and cooking the food that everyone gets to stuff themselves with.

I made 2 items this year!

First: Four Cheese Stuffed Jalepenos-
Preheat oven to 350
Cut your jalepenos in half
Lay the out on a baking sheet
Clean out all of the seeds
Lay shredded pepperjack cheese in the center
Smear cream cheese over the pepperjack- holds the pepperjack in and provides the "glue" that holds it all together
Wrap 1/3 bacon strip around jalepeno and secure with a toothpick
Sprinkle shredded cheddar and american all over all of the stuffed jalepenos
Cook at 350 degrees for 20-23 minutes
FINAL RESULT?

Second, I went for the dipable category. I made my normal queso, but decided to change it up a little bit!

Queso with Spicy Italian Sausage

Fill large pot with water 3/4

Take smaller pot and put entire log of velveeta (diced) in this pot

Place smaller pot inside larger bot and turn burner on high

Add juice from Rotel can to the cheese so the cheese doesnt stick to the bottom of the pot

Uncase Spicy Italian Sausage to get ground sausage meat

Brown your sausage

Once Velveeta softens, add rotel and stir until creamy

Add sausage

Let simmer 10-15 minutes

Result:

Add schooner of Dos Equis for best results!
