Superbowl Party Food

Are you a football fan?

In my house we watch football. 

Okay, I'm lying... I don't watch much football, but my husband watches enough for the both of us! 

By the time Superbowl comes around - I'm excited to have a party!  We finally get to celebrate the fact the football season is over! Right?  It's that was Superbowl is about???  {all you die hard football fans, I'm just kidding - please don't hate me}

Seriously though, Superbowl is always a fun time.  We have friends over, make some yummy food and enjoy a good game.

I thought I'd share a little spread we did a few years back.  

Easy and delicious finger foods... perfect for the 3-4 hr game!

Everything was really easy and inexpensive to make.  Plus I could make most of it ahead of time and just pop what we needed in the oven and keep the rest in the fridge, until we ran out.

At every party, I always have the staple items: Chips, Salsa, Guac and my Chili Cheese Dip

I apologize for the bad photo... the dip should have been stirred up first, but I was taking my photos quickly... I had a bunch of hungry boys standing over the table patiently waiting for me to be done.  My sweet husband has learned to warn people, "Don't touch anything until she takes her pictures, no matter how hungry you are!"

GUAC & CHILI CHEESE DIP

CHILI CHEESE DIP:

1 Can Hormel chili - NO BEANS

8oz bag of Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

8oz Cream Cheese

8oz Salsa

Mix all ingredients and heat up in microwave until everything is melted and heated through.

I usually melt in this order.  1. Mix & heat cream cheese and shredded cheese until partially melted 2. Add Chili, mix & heat 3. Add Salsa, mix and heat.  It usually takes about 5-7 min in the microwave.  Make sure to stop and mix frequently. 

I also always have a Fruit Platter

This time I added some Salami, Cheese & Crackers

MINI MEATBALL SUBS:

Frozen Meatballs {or make your own... I wanted quick & easy}

Cook meatballs per instructions, {I warmed mine up in Marinara sauce}, then place 1/2 slice of provolone in bottom of roll, place meatballs {2-3 depending on size} on top of cheese, then put remaining 1/2 slice of provolone on top.  Place under broiler until the cheese is melted {about 1-2min}
