Super Bowl snacking

Well the day for eating is upon us. No, not Thanksgiving. The runner up to that wonderful day, 'Super Bowl Sunday!'
The hubs shared with me that 1.25 billion wings will be consumed today and 8 million pounds of guacamole will be eaten today. Holy Food Batman! Kind of gross.

So a few things in our house that will be consumed are deviled eggs, bacon wrapped jalepenos, Frank's spicy chicken rolls, and nacho's. Later we may just eat more of my new favorite football soup: Cheesesteak Soup! It's a twist of a philly cheese steak sandwich but soup, ya'll it is G, double 0, D, GOOD!

Let's start with Frank's chicken first. Found a cool recipe for the crock pot. So simple it had to be done! Simply put 4 chicken breasts in a crock pot (frozen or not) add a bottle of Frank's Hot sauce and cook away for at least 2 hours. Shred it with 2 forks, it will fall apart so quick.
If it's thawed chicken add about a cup of water. This is good on a slice of bread, topped on nacho's OR rolled into spring roll paper. You know the stuff used to make homemade egg roles or mozz sticks with? Get our your spring roll paper, gob a spoonful or two of your spicy chicken in the middle add some shredded cheese (your choice of flavor) and maybe some beans, then roll. Black beans would be my choice, but I left them out since the hubs doesn't do beans. Fry them in some olive oil and EAT immediately after cooked.




Next is stuffed Jalapeno wrapped bacon. Heavenly! I slice my jalapeno's down the middle, spoon out the innards, stuff with cream cheese AND pepper jack cheese. With some toothpicks wrap your bacon around pepper and stick it. Bake at 300 till bacon is cooked or grill it. This is a meal in and of it's own sometimes...





So here is the recipe for the Cheese steak soup, and the picture's I took of the cooking process. I am only sharing my pics because I bought my first dutch oven and am so proud of the way it turned out. Let me add that we don't do mushroom's in this casa, so I just took them out of the recipe completely. Could have substituted with green pepper but didn't.
