Super Bowl Appetizers

[birdswacker]

What's on the menu for the big game?

I haven't decided yet maybe some ribs in the smoker?

On a cooking show this past weekend I saw string cheese cut in haves, rolled in flour, then egg, then rolled in finely crushed gardettos snack mix. Fried until the cheese just starts to come out. Looked so good it's on the menu for the game forsure!!!

My neighborhood watering hole is having a pot luck for Superbowl. They are furnishing a nacho bar, and tables for folks to bring other goodies or a crockpot. So far I've seen ham & beans, corn muffins, Swedish meatballs, smoked cheese, and a lot of sweets on the sign-up list. I'm still debating about smoking a few things and watch the game at home.

Sounds either way you will eat good!

Only thing for sure so far is those bacon wrapped jalapeño cream cheese thingies….always like trying something on this annual thread….keep em coming.

Devils Lake perch from last weekend will be fried and served with red beans and rice and a good number of quality american beers and a couple of growlers from my homebrewing friend/genius in Iowa

Bacon wrapped cocktail weiners

Takes some time but well worth the effort.

Preheat the oven to 325

Cut bacon into 4 lengths

Wrap cocktail wiener with bacon and use a toothpick to hold bacon

Place on a large baking sheet

Sprinkle brown sugar over the weiners and bacon

Bake for 40 minutes or until the sugar is bubbly

Put wieners in a slow cooker on low setting.

Dino Eggs really intrigue me.........if the temps allow I may smoke some up

These are taken from a Smoking Meat Forum that I frequent.

I hear you on that. I turn them up a notch by adding cayenne to the brown sugar. I sprinkle the sugar/cayene mix on both sides of my bacon, then wrap and generally do them in my smoker. Seasoning on both sides insures you will get the heat-n-sweet flavor.

Now that sounds like a real yummy plan!! I like the idea of the heat. My MIL makes these at Christmas time but there will never be any heat.

Bacon wrapped hash rounds, bacon wrapped pineapple chunks.

[Borch]

Mmmmm... bacon....

[eyeguy 54]

so much work. I think we will just eat bacon !

[Xplorer]

I'll be up the shore snowmobiling til a couple hours before the game.

I am doing "teriyaki/brown sugar/olive oil/onion and garlic pepper" marinaded alaskan red salmon on the grill, 3 pounds of hot wings with celery sticks, veni sticks, and some extra sharp cheddar with crackers so far. Oh and a dozen apple cider pickled eggs that have brined for a week. Add to that some Oskar Blues and Odell brewery cold ones, and life will be good

Any yummy suggestions for something I can do in the smoker in those couple hours before the game????? Bacon wrapped cayenne smokies look like a possible candidate.

We wound up grilling some sausage, chicken wings and some stuffed poblano peppers to have during the game.... but we went to the local watering hole to have a pre-game drink (and to check out the pot luck). Ham and beans, chili, meatballs, cheese trays and bowls of Chex mix were some of the standard items, but here is the star of the show for decoration and content.

Chips in the stadium, the field was avocado dip, the goalposts were Slim Jims, deli meats, summer sausage and salami on the outside.

Do you have a recipe for the apple cider eggs??

[Xplorer]

Brine is really easy. Depending on how big a batch/jar I am making I mix 3 parts apple cider vinegar with one part water, add pickling spice and an extra bay leaf or two and bring to a boil.

Remove from heat. I fill my jars starting with a full slice of sweet yellow onion, a layer of eggs, full slice of onioin, eggs/onion and so on until the jar is full. Then I pour the hot brine over the works right to the top (in the sink) and cover. Wipe off and put in the fridge for at least 3/4 days, but the longer the stronger

Definitely going to give the pushpin method a try on the next batch!
