Superbowl appetizers?

Question

I need some great ideas for bite sized appetizers to serve during the Superbowl. The Superbowl party is not at my house, so the food needs to be portable AND be good at room temperature or cold, so I don't inconvenience the host.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I know most of these say serve warm, but they're all just as good cooled.

Veggie Pizza
1 package crescent rolls
1 cup sour cream
One half cup mayonnaise
1 package dry Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
One half cup fresh broccoli, chopped
One half cup green onions, chopped
One half cup carrots, shredded
One half cup zucchini, grated
One half cup mushrooms, sliced
1 8-oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped

Spread out crescent rolls on a baking sheet to form a crust and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise and dry dip mix and spread over crust. Place vegetables over dressing and top with shredded cheese. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut into squares before serving.


MEATBALLS CON QUESO
1 1lb. frozen meatballs
2 jars queso dip

Melt the dip over the heated meatballs and serve.



TURKEY & CHEESE POCKETS
2 oz. (1/4 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1 tsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
4 slices OSCAR MAYER Shaved Smoked Turkey Breast, finely chopped
1/4 cup KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 can (7.5 oz) refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Mix cream cheese, dressing and mustard in small bowl until well blended. Add turkey and cheese; mix well. Set aside. PRESS or roll out each biscuit to 3-1/2-inch circle. Place 1 heaping tsp. cream cheese mixture onto each biscuit circle. Fold dough over filling to make small turnover shapes. Firmly press edges of dough together to seal. Place on ungreased baking sheet.
BAKE 10 to 12 min. or until lightly browned. Serve hot.


MINI HAM AND CHEESE CALZONES
1 can (11 oz.) refrigerated soft breadsticks
1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
12 slices OSCAR MAYER Shaved Honey Ham, cut in half
2 Tbsp. KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Cut each breadstick crosswise in half; flatten dough to 2-inch width. SPOON 1 tsp. cheese onto center of each ham piece. Fold ham over cheese to create a tight roll. Place ham roll near the end of each piece of breadstick dough, leaving a border. Fold dough over ham, pinching edges to seal. Repeat process for all ham pieces. Place calzones on baking sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. BAKE 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm.


Buffalo Chicken Tenders
1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c hot cayenne pepper sauce
1 c dry bread crumbs
4 boneless; skinless chicken breast
1 nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425. Place flour, hot sauce and bread crumbs each in its own shallow dish. Dip chicken strips into flour, then hot sauce, then crumbs-coat evenly with each. Place coated strips about 1 inch apart on lightly sprayed cooking sheet and bake for about 8 min. Turn chicken over and spray with cooking spray; cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and breading is golden brown.


SHRIMP COCKTAIL SPREAD
1 8oz. brick cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup KRAFT Cocktail Sauce
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
TRISCUIT Rosemary & Olive Oil Crackers
Ritz Crackers

Spread cream cheese onto a pie plate, top with cocktail sauce. Place in fridge to chill. Top with cheese before serving, serve with crackers.


Onion Dip from Scratch
(ALTON BROWN RECIPE)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups diced onions
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

In a saute pan over medium heat add oil, heat and add onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients, and then add the cooled onions. Refrigerate and stir again before serving.


Crispy Water Chestnuts
1 can whole water chestnuts
4 tbsp. each maple syrup and soy sauce
1 tbsp. worcestershire sauce
Bacon

Soak canned whole water chestnuts in maple syrup, soy sauce and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Wrap in bacon, secure with toothpicks, and broil until bacon is almost crisp. Serve hot.

Answer 2

So many choices!

Dips are great! Here are 2:

Spinach Dip:

1 box Knorrs Vegetable Dip (dried) the recipe is on the back
1 16 ounce sour cream
1 10 ounce box chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 cup mayo
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 can water chestnuts, diced fine

Serve with crackers and celery chunks, cukecumber slices, green pepper strips, carrots, anything you want.

You can put the dip into a "bread bowl" and take the veggies in zip loc bags and crackers in the box. Be sure to bring your own platter so the hostess isnt responsible for your assembly.


Taco Dip:

In a 9 X 13 pan, layer refried beans, top with sour cream mixed with a taco seasoning packet. Top that with shredded mexican cheese and sliced black olives and sliced green onions....anything you want really. Take along chips and salsa for topping.


You could also make Pigs in a Blanket:

Cresant Rolls, each triangle cut into 3 smaller triangles and smokie links to wrap with each triangle you have. Bake as cresant package says but you may want to cook a little longer as the dough is filled and needs longer to cook. You can serve these warm or room temp.

Buy large flour tortillas, ham, turkey, shredded lettuce and some flavored cheese spread. Layer the tortilla with spread add the rest and roll up and wrap tightly in Saran and then chill for a few hours, cut into 1 inch spirals for finger bite sized sandwiches.

Take a meat and cheese tray and some buns and different mayos and mustards.

All of these ideas dont cause the hostess to work at all.

have a ball!

Answer 3

Easy to make and you can add what you wish, even some hot sauce:
Mini-Quiches

Ingredients:
8 oz Cottage cheese-small curd
1/4 c Sour cream
4 oz Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 c Bisquick
1/4 c Melted butter
3 Eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients with
Electric mixer. Grease mini-muffin tins or use Teflon ones.
Fill 3/4 full. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until brown.
Hints: Add onion, bacon, mushrooms,etc. May be frozen.
Reheat at 300 degrees or microwave for 3 minutes on high.
Note: These are great! Be sure to add cooked bacon and
Some diced onion. This recipe only makes about
1 1/2 Dozen so be sure to at least double!

Answer 4

beer dip. Take equal parts 16 oz cream cheese and 16 oz velveeta cheese. Melt together then add garlic powder to taste. Add 1 can of beer and stir until blended. To serve get a 2 lb round loaf of seedless rye bread. Slice off the top and then hollow out. Get a second loaf of seedless rye and slice that into bite size chunks along with the portion that came from hollowing out the round loaf. When you get to the party, place the hollowed loaf onto a platter, then pour your cheese mix inside and place the cut up bread around the "bread bowl" and serve. Guys love it because it has beer in it. Good Luck and have fun. By the way this is very kid friendly too, there is not enough alcohol in it to affect them.
