Well here we are the Monday after the Super Bowl. Congratulations to the city of New Orleans and the Saints victory!
Here are my recipes from last night’s game time feast…
I made homemade coleslaw and pulled chicken barbeque sliders with fresh veggie garnishes and pepper cheese.
Barbeque Pork Ribs and Cheesy Potato casserole and a different take on the traditional chex party mix.
Let’s start with the party mix…
Tip; I made early in the day and set aside till game time
Heat oven to 250 degrees
Party Mix
The Mix
12 oz box of corn & rice cereal
1 cup wasabi peas
2 cups pretzels
1 can sesame nut mix
Seasoning
1 stick butter
1 t garlic powder
1 t onion powder
1 t soy sauce
1 t Worcestershire sauce
1 t seasoned salt
½ t Cayenne red pepper
Melt the putter in a small sauce pan and add the above spices, stir well till blended. Pour half the butter and seasoning mix in bottom of 9×13 inch pan and add the dry ingredients stir gently.
Add remaining butter and seasonings continue stirring gently to avoid crushing the cereal (I use my hands)
Place in oven for 10 minutes at a time then stir
I continue this for an hour then remove from oven and lightly sprinkle a little more garlic and onion powder and a pinch of Cayenne pepper on the top and give it one more toss.
Let cool and ENJOY!
