SuperBowl Food – Texas Style! SuperBowl Sliders!

Texas pepper Jelly super bowl food

Looking for the best SuperBowl food? You’re at the right place! Texas Pepper Jelly’s recipes are almost ALL well-suited for your couch football fans, and our favorites are featured right here!

Click that link up there and you won’t need to search anywhere else for awesomely good, spicy football food.

And while we’re talking about SuperBowl food, let’s just add this to the list of sure-fire couch-pleasers:

SuperBowl Sliders! (YOu know – miniature cheeseburgers!)

Ingredients:

4 pounds ground beef
5 large onions, cut into rings
1 jar Loco Cheese Dip
Two packages of dinner rolls, approximately 2 dozen rolls
Condiments as desired

What to do:

Form the ground beef into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter
In a large frying pan, lay the onion circles in the pan, and put the hamburger patties on top of the onions. Don’t worry about making them even. Fry the hamburger patties on medium-low heat, turning several times to insure doneness but not burning. The onions will carmelize and “share their wealth” with the hamburger. When the burgers are done, scoop them up, along with the onions, and put one patty on the bottom half of a split dinner roll. Generously spread Loco Cheese Dip over the burger, and replace the top bun. Put the cooked onions in a bowl- they’ll be a condiment. Each time you take up a batch of burgers, replace the cooked onions with fresh-cut.

football food, Loco Cheese slidersWhen you’ve got a huge platter of Loco Cheese Dip-covered mini-burgers-on-a-dinner-roll, bring it into the TV room, put it on the coffee table along with whatever condiments (don’t forget the onions!) your crew wants.

Then, stand back. Or take your place on the couch and grab a slider yourself. Football isn’t only for the guys, you know.

My husband refers to SuperBowl Sliders as “a man’s hors d’oeuvres,” and he just might be right!

He also wanted me to tell you that you can’t fix too many of these. However many you make, they’ll devour.

SuperBowl Food: Hot Crockpot Spinach Dip

slow cooker, hot summer nights, perfect summer cooker Winter snacks should be hot – hot with heat and hot with peppers! Hot winter snacks warm us up, all the way through.

Crockpot recipes are so easy, and Texas Pepper Jelly’s delicious and nutritious Hot Crockpot Spinach Dip is no exception.

Ingredients:

1 box (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
1 cup mayonnaise (do not substitute Miracle Whip)
1/2 cup sour cream (not fat-free)
1/2 cup Apple Habanero pepper jelly
1/4 cup finely chopped apples (peeled) (applesauce works, too)
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (if you use canned, drain thoroughly!)
1/4 cup finely diced onion

What to do:

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Put mixture in your slow cooker, cover, and set to “low.”

Go to work, if it’s morning. Go to bed, if it’s night. Let the mixture cook in the crockpot for 8-10 hours. Turn crockpot off, and let “set” for an hour or two.

Pour into bowl, surround with breadsticks, chips, raw veggies, whateverspicy snack food, football food, spinach dip your family or guests like best to dip. Stand back.

Don’t count on any leftovers. There never are any at my house. My husband and son and their friends will clean up every bite of this dip in one evening. I’ve taken to hiding a cup for my daughter and me; otherwise, it’s too dangerous to try to dip.

Zesty Texas-Style Crockpot Sloppy Joes

Who doesn’t love sloppy joes? I tend to sing the Adam Sandler song about sloppy joes as I put this recipe together, but I’ve always been classy like that. This sloppy joe recipe will become your family’s favorite sloppy joe recipe after one meal – it happened that way at my house!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef, crumbled, cooked, and WELL DRAINED
1 teaspoon garlic powder
one large onion, finely chopped
one green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 raw carrot, finely chopped
1/4 cup Texas Pepper Jelly’s Candied Jalapenos, chopped fine
1 can black beans, drained and mashed
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
dash cumin
dash black pepper
dash chili powder

What to do:

Put everything in your crockpot and stir well. Set dial to “low” and forget about it for 6 hours or so.

Set out the bun, chips, and tossed salad, and you’ve got a nutritious, delicious meal. All those vegetables in the mixture make these sloppy joes into a dinner, not merely a lunch. This isn’t junk food, parents – it’s GOOD for your kids!

Sometimes I use mashed refried beans instead of black beans; my kids like it that way, too, but they prefer the black beans.

I also break the crockpot rules and will occasionally remove the lid and give the mixture a stir. If it seems dry, add a little – VERY little – water.

Texas-style Zesty Sloppy Joes are a perfect football-fan food, too!

Super Bowl Meatloaf: Stop Laughing & Have A Sandwich!

Texas pepper Jelly super bowl food Oh hush. You know you love a good meatloaf sandwich, and Texas Pepper Jelly’s Spicy SuperBowl Meatloaf is the best EVER.

Texas pepper jelly meatloaf, football foodThis recipe makes awesome meatloaf – fit for your family dinner table – but this weekend it will be easier to just slice it up and turn it into the kind of sandwich that will bring all the neighbors to your sofa.

Ingredients:

3 pounds hamburger
1 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs ( cracker crumbs work, too; that’s what I use)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup Texas Rib Candy
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup ketchup
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon garlic powder (not garlic salt!)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (if you use cracker crumbs, omit the salt)

What to do:

Preheat your oven to 375.

In a large bowl, combine all but 2 tablespoons of the ketchup, and mix thoroughly – use your hands. Divide the mixture into two “loaves,” and place in ungreased baking pan. Don’t use a flat cookie-type pan; your pan must have sides. Cover the tops of both loaves with the remaining ketchup.

Bake for approximately an hour. When your timer goes off, check to make sure your loaves do NOT have pink centers.

Let the loaves stand for at least a half hour before slicing. In fact, if you make them the day before, they slice a lot better cold.

Most people do not need any condiments with these sandwiches, but since a few will, set out some ketchup, mustard, pickles, etc. Eat ‘em up.

SuperBowl Nachos!

When we’re watching the Super Bowl from home, it’s important to have awesome Superbowl Snacks. Stop laughing – you know it’s true!

So let’s start with Texas Pepper Jelly’s fantastically delicious SuperBowl Nachos.

Ingredients:

Bag of tortilla chips
1/2 cup taco sauce
1 jar of Loco Cheese Dip
1/2 cup shredded pepperoni

What to do:

You can always layer these ingredients in a big bowl, but when we’re sitting on the couch waving our arms and yelling at the TV screen, we’ve found it works best if we do it this way:

Cover a plate with tortilla chips, pour the taco sauce over the chips, pour the Loco Cheese Dip over the taco sauce, and sprinkle the shredded pepperoni over it all.

My husband and son like to use giant Fritos to scoop it all up, but that’s a personal decision. You may use whatever you wish, and scoop it up however best suits you.

Note: I like the Fritos-as-scoop, too. My daughter and her friends use a fork, but they just have better manners, I guess.

P.S. Texas Pepper Jelly’s Loco Cheese Dip is good all by itself, too. In fact, it’s fantastic.

P.P.S. This recipe is great hot or cold. It’s also good for the crockpot. It’s equally good right out of the refrigerator. Your choice.
