Super Bowl food: post your recipes

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Basically you can take any flavors you like, mix them with some butter and get awesome wings. Here's a nice way to make some tasty ones.

Get your butter at room temperature so you can mash it. Take any flavorings you like, if you like cajun, toss that, some paprika, garlic powder into the bowl with the butter, mash it all up. Now bake the wings until they're done and while they're hot toss them in the bowl with all the butter and it coats them nicely.

Crab cakes and football. That's what Maryland does.

Exactly

I am so jealous. Maryland blue crabs are one of my favorite foods, and I can't get them because I live in Florida.

I think you can get blues from parts of the Gulf. I could be wrong but I feel like I've heard that a lot of blue crabs actually come from the NO area.

Yeah, you can ... but they're not the same. I've had blue crabs at restaurants around here, and they aren't as good. They "claim" to be Maryland, but I doubt it. They gotta be Chesapeake Bay blues!

I know what you're saying. I bet a lot of it has to do with the spices, especially a lack of Old Bay outside of the Chesapeake area.
This is also why I hate the franchise Joe's Crab Shack, especially the one by my house. How can you call a place a "crab shack" in the state of Maryland when the place doesn't serve stemmed blues?!?!?

Whats wrong with Chesapeake Bay Blues I'd think that allot of those MD blue crabs come out of the chesapeake bay or conjoining rivers. I will have to say that a friend of mine has a farm market and they get big jimmy blue crabs from MD and they are as good a crab as I've had. I'm not saying they are better than the ones we catch in tidewater Va. but they are just as good as the best we can catch. It is true that you can tell the difference in the crabs from different areas I think it has to do with the amount of salt in the water.

Ghetto - Check out this site: Harris Crab House Home Page
One of the better places to get crabs in MD, and they ship.

I make a pretty killer seven layer dip.
1st layer - 1 can of refried beans that has been mixed with a packet of taco seasoning
2nd layer - 8oz Cream cheese and 8 oz sour cream mixed. Since I love cilantro, I add some here.
3rd layer - Salsa (I usually use a jar of Pace Think and Chunky Medium)
4th layer - Green Pepper
5th layer - A good mix of onions and green onions
6th layer - lettuce
7th layer - shredded cheese (i recommend one of the Mexican blends)

And garnish with either black olives, jalapenos or both.

AMD - yes, there are Louisiana Gulf Blue Crabs...the places that serve crabs year round here get them in the winter. They are good, but not the same. They aren't as sweet as a MD Blue.

It's good stuff man. I've made it several times, and mixed things around. The best thing to me is adding the cilantro to the cream cheese/sour cream layer. You get the flavor of it, but it doesn't overpower like it would if it was by itself.

And I totally agree with your comment on Joe's Crab Shack. It's a dumbed down Red Lobster with no MD blues. If you want a good place for Crabs...May's in Frederick. 355 just down the way from the Mall.

I don't usually make a big deal about food for the SB since I'm usually so sloshed by the end of the 1st quarter that anything tastes good.

pigs in a blanket is a necessity for any superbowl party other than that wings, chips, pizza and beer, i mean thats all you really need, football isnt fancy so the food shouldnt be either.

Pigs in a blanket with heinze honey mustard as a dip. Has anyone ever slow cook wings on a grill with hickory chips? Its the only way to cook them. I hit them hard on higher heat for about 15 min. then cut down to low add allot of hickory chips and cook for another 30 to 40 min. and I promise you they will be the best wings you have ever had. Texas Pete make a good hot wing sauce.
