Are You Ready for Some Football Snacks?

It's already week two of the NFL season and I have not covered any game time snacks...Shame on me! So here they are! Enjoy!!! 

BBQ Chicken Pizza

  • 1/2 Cup favorite bbq sauce
  • 1 large prebaked pizza crust - I like Boboli
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked/diced chicken
  • 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 chopped sweet pepper...green, yellow...orange
  • 1-2 tablespoons sliced green onions

Spread sauce on crust, top with remaining ingredients in order listed.  Bake as directed on pizza crust packaging. Makes 4 - 6 servings.


Baked Cheesy Salsa Dip

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  •  1 cup shredded Swiss
  •  ½ cup cream cheese
  •  1/2 cup light mayonnaise
  •  1 7-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
  •  1 4-ounce can chopped green chili peppers, drained (these will be spicy)
  •  1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  •  1 8oz can diced tomatoes
  •  1/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

 **Optional: Tabasco Sauce for an added spicy kick or take out the chili peppers if you want a milder dip

Directions

1.  Stir together cheeses, mayonnaise, cream cheese, corn, chili peppers, ½ of the can of tomatoes, and garlic powder in a mixing  bowl.

2.  Spread mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.

3.  Combine the remainder of the diced tomatoes,onion, and cilantro, cover,  and chill for an hour to allow flavors to combine (this will be placed on top of the hot dip after it is cooked).

4.  Bake cheese dish in a 350 degree oven 35 minutes or until heated through and cheese is bubbling.

5.  Spoon chilled tomato mixture in the center of the hot cheese dip right before serving.

6.  Serve with tortilla chips, corn chips, veggies, or potato wedges
