The bearfan house Super Bowl menu

[bearfan454]

Hello to all my foodie friends in this forum. I'm not around a lot much any more but I still try and keep up. Here's what's to eat over here for Super Bowl Sunday afternoon/evening:

Deviled eggs with jalapeno
Chips with avocado dip and pico de gallo
deer salami
deer cubes
chicken wings

On the deviled eggs I use blue cheese dressing instead of Hellmann's. I put finely diced sweet onion and jalapeno in the filling too.

The avacado dip is my Dad's recipe. I stole it from him. Walmart has avacados 2 for a buck on sale. You cut the avacados in half, toss the seed, and scoop out the inside. Use a fork and squish them up fairly good. Add diced onion, diced tomato, and parmesan cheese. Salt to taste. Serve on tortilla chips. Someone told me if you keep the seed in the bowl the avacado won't turn brown. I know fruit fresh or lemon juice works too. Has anyone tried the seed trick?

I have 2 salami sticks left from last season. I go Monday to turn in my frozen deer meat to Klein's in Pflugerville. This guy does so much business that they don't accept frozen deer meat until February. He's an old German guy in his 80's. His parents brought their recipes with them from Germany. This guy is the best by far. I haven't found anybody that can even come to close to his quality in the 16 years I've been deer hunting.

Deer cubes:

Beef can be substituted here for deer. Cube up some filet'd deer meat or beef into 2" x 2" cubes. Butterfly them open halfway. Put a slice of a jalapeno(no seeds)in the opening. Wrap the cube in a half or a whole piece of bacon(I use cheap bacon for this).Toothpick the bacon on it or use a skewer and shiskebob 6 or 7 on the skewer. Marinate 3 or 4 hours in Lawry's herb and garlic marinade. Cook over charcoal. Watch them carefully because the bacon will drip and they will take off on you. They cook in about 10 minutes depending on the intensity of your charcoals.

The chicken wings I might just buy. There's a Chinese place 5 minutes from the house here that has 8 big wings for $2.35. It would be cheaper to buy 4 orders of them and not have the work to do. I know that's cheating but they are really good and cheap and quick. I can just put some Frank's hot sauce on them.

What are you making for the Super Bowl?

1. Those deviled eggs sound divine!

[bearfan454]

2. Some people just take regular deviled eggs and dust the tops

with cayenne pepper. Sometimes that's too hot though.

3. I prefer cayenne on eggs for breakfast

It's a little sweeter. But it takes a light hand to get the dusting just right so it's not too hot.

4. I am making some pigs in a blanket and got chips and nuts for snacks

pigs in a blanket is so easy and good, I take Hillshire Farms Lil Smokies and a can of crescent rolls

cut the rolls triangle into a thinner triangle and wrap them around the lil smokie and bake as directed

it's just the two of us so that should be plenty!

it's so good to 'see' you bear! hope all is well! :bounce:

5. Pigs in a blanket kick ass.

I haven't had those in a long time. Good to see you too.:hi:

6. The pit trick does work.

I'll be making basic lazy guacamole -mashed avocado, minced garlic, a teaspoon of salsa, and a small amount of lime juice.




side note for eleny: rumor has it my Lithuanian-American friends are making kugelis for the Super Bowl party.

7. Are kugelis anything like pierogis?

My first wife was Polish and her and her Dad made the best pierogis I have ever eaten.

9. It's different

You grate up 5 pounds of potatoes and to it add grated onion, some fried bacon broken into bits, eggs and evaporated milk & black pepper to taste. Pour it all into a roasting pan or baking dish and bake until done.

It's something more like a potato pancake flavor. But you cut slices. It can be heated in the fry pan the next day to get the outsides a little crispy.

Here's a recipe that's close to how I make it. http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1913,145166-225203,00.html
I often use egg substitute and not so much bacon and also use lowfat evap. milk.

10. More like a potato casserole

I love pierogis.

11. Parsley? I'm going to have to try that!

8. WOW!

I recently got two bags of potatoes on deep sale and am planning on making some this week. Maybe I should just make some tomorrow. Yum!
