Super Bowl Snacks

4.2.13

Ok.  So my team wasn't in the Super Bowl.  The Pack had to take a back seat to the Niners and the Ravens, however, if any of you happened to catch Clay Matthews on the CBS pre game show, ohhh, holy moly.

Gorgeous gorgeous.

Anyway, since my team didn't make it, and we didn't travel to NOLA, the next best thing was to just have food to remind us of all the fun we were missing.  So we decided on on Mississippi Crack Dip and Bayou Brownies plus some yummy Bennett's BBQ nachos.  

Mississippi Crack Dip
-  8 oz cream cheese
- 16 oz sour cream
- 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 lb Italian sausage, cooked and drained.
 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
- 1/4 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Dash of garlic salt
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper



Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 - Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well
 - Once mixed, transfer to baking dish and bake for 6o minutes.

Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, veggies, or whatever your heart desires.

Bayou Brownies
- 1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (18 1/4 oz) package yellow cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 16 oz package powdered sugar.



Directions 
- Combine pecans, butter, 1 egg and cake mix
- Stir until well blended.
- Press into bottom of  lightly greased  13x9 inch pan.
- Set aside.
- Combine remaining 2 eggs, cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl.
- Beat at medium speed until smooth
- Pour cream cheese mixture over cake mixture.
- Bake at 325 for 40 minutes or until cheese mixture is set (it took me quite a bit longer than 40 minutes for mine to do this)
-  Let cool completely.


It was super hard to watch the Super Bowl and not have my Packers be in it.    I'm so hoping that next year will be the year for my boos.
