Let’s be honest, one of the best parts of Super Bowl Sunday is the food. Although I’m excited to hang out with friends as we root for (so far) the most successful graduate in our class (Go Flacco!) and watch some amazing commercials, I’m more focused on the tasty treats that come along with the viewing.
I’ve been in the Football Food spirit for a while now. Last week, Land O’ Lakes and Rebecca of Foodie With Family hosted a webinar all about food for the big game.
We discussed a bunch of different group-friendly snacks, which ones travel well to other locations, and even how to keep food safe while it is sitting out during the game. Land O’ Lakes has a great round up of game day favorites, so be sure to check it out for some inspiration here. I learned a lot, but I was unfortunately kind of distracted. Why? Because the first darn photo they showed me was of a Pull-Apart Party Loaf.
Look at that loaf!
I loved it so much, I made a test batch of my own to share with you! I also received a nifty prize package for participating, plus one to give away, woo hoo! More on that below…
So this recipe is one created in the Land O’ Lakes Kitchen. Original recipe can be found here.
Ingredients:
- 1 (16- to 18-ounce) round loaf of sourdough bread
- 1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dry ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup (about 5 slices) cooked chopped thick-cut bacon
- 1/4 cup jalapeño peppers, chopped
- 10 (3/4-ounce) slices Land O Lakes® Deli American Cheese, chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, if desired
