Favorite Football Foods to Cook

[Eric Wettschreck]

I have 2 sisters if you're really that hard up.

Need directions??? Bring a shotgun and a dog.

Naw... not hard up! Just looking for an easy bowl of chili and a cold PBR!

The dog and shotgun must come out to visit you this year!!! I need to make the time... we may be shutting down early this year.

Then we can make a pheasant dish up for football! I got a couple that are quite tasty! One of my favorites is "forbidden thighs"... MMMMM forbidden thighs....

Good Luck!

Chilli and nachos for the first half and homemade pizza for the second half, along with cold-ones is the only way to go.

Cheffrey,

Surely you must have an appetizer/football recipe or two that you can share with us. Maybe something with a northern MN flare? Fish appetizer? Wild rice this or that?

Usually when I am at home and enjoying football I am cooking a late breakfast for family after a long day at work on Saturday. Suprising how well wild rice and blueberries go together in panacakes mixed with some high grade maple syrup.

Chili. Bring the fire extinguisher i.e. Homer Simpson's favorite beverage

Five-Alarm Three-Bean Chili

(Courtesy of Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Slow Cooker Recipes)

2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into small pieces

2 cans (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chiles

1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 bottle (12 ounces) ale-style beer

1 medium onion, diced

1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste

2 packets hot chili seasoning

2 jalapeno chile peppers, diced

red pepper flakes

sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)

In a 5-quart slow cooker, stir together beef, tomatoes, pinto beans, cannellini beans, kidney beans, beer, onion, tomato paste, seasoning mix, diced jalapenos, and 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes until thoroughly combined.

Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours.

Spoon into soup bowls. Top with sliced jalapenos.

I use Cayenne pepper instead of the pepper flakes also. If you need to cool it off get some sour cream and mix it in. I like it with brown rice and I also use 2 lbs ground turkey instead of stew meat. I brown it in Light olive Oil and the onion first and add it with the rest of the ingredients. I also use pickled jalapenos instead of fresh and a lot more than the recipe calls out.

Cheffrey help me out what cut of meat could I substitue instead of stew meat and cube it myself? Bottom round maybe?

Certainly round will work, ground beef, brisket, flank, etc... You would be suprised what cuts you can't use for chili. I have made it out of just about every cut from every animal. Typically if you can braise it, it can be chili. I will be making some out of rattlesnake next week for our game dinner.

Cheffrey,

When is the game dinner and is it available to anybody? I remember reading about this last year or the year before and it sounded great.

Chaff, it's coming up this weekend. I have $1,700 in wild game arriving tomorrow from alligator to rattlesnake, venison, elk, antelope, and the list goes on. South Shore brewery will be headed over as well. Starts at 6pm on Saturday and information can be found by clicking the your north shore link below and going to the grand superior HSOforum.
