Foodie Friday: Super Bowl Menu Plan

4:57 AM | Posted by Senior Editor | | Edit Post
Here are some of our favorite game-day foods (these can all be prepared a day ahead, which will make things even easier).

With Bleu Cheese Coleslaw

Ingredients
Deli-style buns
Boneless chicken breasts
Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce
1 (16-ounce) package shredded coleslaw mix
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

The night before the big game, prepare your coleslaw.
  1. Toss together the coleslaw mix and onion in a bowl. In a saucepan, mix the vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. When sugar has dissolved, pour over the slaw mix and onion. Toss to coat, and let stand 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the slaw mix in a colander, and return to the bowl. Toss with mayonnaise, sour cream, and blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill overnight for the best results, but if you forget, you’ll be fine as long as it has at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.
On game day, coat your chicken breasts with a generous coating of wing sauce, and then grill until done. Place your piping hot chicken on your bun, top with coleslaw and bun top, and enjoy! This coleslaw is also awesome on hot dogs and hamburgers!

This one is great for cold game days. Make it ahead, and put it in a Crock-Pot for game day to keep it warm.


Ingredients
1 whole chicken
1 large onion, chopped
1 small bag of peeled baby carrots
1 12-ounce container of fresh sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 can of corn
1 can of chopped chiles (in the Mexican food section of a grocery store)
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Prepare the chicken by removing the giblets and neck pieces.
  2. Place the chicken in a stockpot with just enough water to cover the chicken, then add the garlic.
  3. Cook covered on medium-low on the stove for 2 1/2 hours.
  4. Remove the chicken and garlic from the stockpot with a strainer, leaving the stock in the pot.
  5. Add chopped onion, carrots, and mushrooms to the stock, and cover and cook an additional 30 minutes.
  6. While the vegetables are cooking, remove the meat from the chicken.
  7. When the chicken is picked and shredded, add to the stock.
  8. Add Cajun seasoning, rice, chiles, and corn.
  9. Cover and cook an additional 20 minutes.
  10. Serve with corn bread or saltines.

1/2 can of beer of your choosing


Mix all the ingredients together. Refrigerate overnight, and serve with Fritos Scoops.


I hope you enjoy the recipes and the excitement of game day as much as we do!
