Superbowl Recipes – Hot Appetizers

Well today is the big one – Hot Appetizers which of course includes crock pot anything as well. My recipe is for microwave Corn Chowder – yup, you can get awesome Corn Chowder in minutes from the microwave.

Microwave Corn Chowder

• 5 slices bacon
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3 T flour
• 1 can creamed corn
• 1 can whole kernal corn – drained
• 2 1/2 C milk
• 2 tsp parsley
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 4 medium potatoes, cubed and PARBOILED

1. Brown onions & bacon in 3 qt casserole dish (needs to be at least 3 qts or will not fit) on HIGH for 8 minutes (stir half way through or gets all burned and gross!)  Sometimes I even do this is a separate pan.  If you do, be sure to add in all the drippings when you transfer to the casserole dish.

2. Add other ingredients and stir.

3. Cook on HIGH for about 17 minutes stirring once or twice while cooking.

It really is great and EASY corn chowder.  Add you favorite recipes in the comments or link up below.  I need more recipes for Sunday, so get them up there!!

Superbowl Recipes – Cold Appetizers/Salads

Are we ready for the Superbowl? Today we will be linking up cold appetizers or salads.

I would have to say one of my favorite salads is a Spinach Grape chopped salad similar to that one that my sister in law makes. But nothing beats a simple tomato sliced up with fresh mozzarella drizzled with balsamic and basil.

What are your favorite cold appetizers? Share your recipes in the comments below or link up your recipe.

Superbowl Recipes – Dips

This has got to be one of my favorite recipe categories. To me carrots, chips and bread are only a medium to deliver the DIP!! Though dip does make me eat way more veggies than I normally would otherwise.

Though I have many dip recipes I love, this one is my latest favorite and the one people request I bring to parties (sorry I do not have a picture – it never lasts long enough to take one – LOL)

Taco Salad/Dip aka Dorito Dip

1 – 1.5 lb ground meat (beef, chicken or turkey)
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 – 1.5 tomatoes
1/2 onion
1 bag shredded taco cheese
1 bag of Doritos (or around 5 – 6 lunch size bags) crushed up
Catalina dressing (3/4 to full small bottle)
1 packet taco seasoning

Prepare meat with taco seasoning and put in the refrigerator to chill.
Chop up all veggies (as large or small as you like – I prefer smaller)
Once the meat is cool, mix in the veggies.

Then wait until you are ready to serve to add the cheese and crushed up Doritos.
Mix with catalina dressing.

Serve with chips OR you can top lettuce for a taco salad.  ENJOY!
