Game Day Foods

Sunday, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!! 

I survived the 9/15 deadline!  Hallelujah!  Now it’s football day, and we decided to cook up a full-out game-day spread.  On the menu:

• Italian sausage sandwiches with green peppers and onions
• Outrageous Chicken Dip
• Chocolate Chip Cookies

For the Italian Sausages, I pan-cooked some hot Italian sausages until they were nearly cooked through. 

Then I put them in a crockpot with a large jar of spaghetti sauce and one white onion and two green peppers. 

I left the crockpot on high, and these guys just hung out all day getting tastier and tastier with each minute.

Oh yes….

Jarrod and I are always looking for new dip recipes to try out.  So when I stumbled across this recipe for Outrageous Chicken Nacho Dip, we HAD to try it. 

Here’s what went in to the dip:

• 3 grilled chicken breasts, shredded
• 1 block Velveeta, cubed
• 1 10 ounce can Rotel tomatoes, drained
• 2 jalapenos peppers (1 seeded, 1 not seeded) finely chopped
• 1/3 cup fat free sour cream
• 1/2 cup diced green onion
• 1.5 tablespoons hot taco seasoning mix
• 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

First up, cube up the Velveeta for increased meltability:

Tossed in the remaining ingredients:

Hello chickies:

Next, you must take the crockpot outside for a natural-light photo session:

MELT.

This is a happy site:

Easy peasy, and oh so tasty!

As for the cookies… whelp, I just used the recipe on the back of the Nestlé chocolate chips bag 🙂

Tried and true! 

GO BROWNS!!!
