When the gang gathers to watch the big game, we all know they can go through a lot of food! Whether you are entertaining the game watchers at your house or taking a dish to theirs, here are some excellent recipes for snacking. Also perfect for game nights and other gatherings and parties. All of these recipes will be hits with the crowd.
MEXICAN CHEESE BITES
1 1/2 cup baking mix (ie Bisquick)
1/4 cup dairy sour cream
1 egg
1 can chopped green chilies, drained
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix baking mix, sour cream, egg and chilies together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Serve with taco sauce or salsa, if desired.
Yield: 4 dozen
BRAUNSWEIGHER BALL
This is an old hand written recipe I came across of my late mother's. It was good to see her hand writing again. She always had beautiful handwriting and I really missed that after she had a stroke and was paralized on her right side.
1 lb braunsweigher at room temp
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp onion soup mix
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Mix the first 5 ingredients and shape into a ball. Place in freezer for about 30 minutes until firm enough to handle. Frost in the cream cheese and roll in the Cheddar cheese.
OLD FASHION CARAMEL CORN
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp salt
unsalted popcorn
Combine the sugar, water, and vinegar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and boil to the soft ball stage. Add the butter, molasses, and salt and boil to the hard crack stage. Remove from heat and pour immediately over the unsalted popcorn in a large heat-proof bowl. Stir to coat all the popcorn.
NUT CAKE
This is a 1950s recipe from my hometown in Southern Indiana. It is delicious served warm without frosting. If you prefer frosting, I would suggest just using a glaze. For those who have a sweet tooth but you don't want to serve something overly sweet, this cake is perfect.
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped nuts
1 tsp vanilla
Cream shortening and sugar together; add the eggs and beat well. Mix and sift together flour and baking powder and add alternately with milk. Stir in the nuts mixed with one teaspoon of flour. Add the vanilla. Bake in a greased loaf pan in a moderate oven (350) 45-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in pan and then turn out on cooling rack.
Enjoy!
