Super Bowl | I Can Cook That

Baked Black Beans with Chorizo

You can never have too many party appetizers in your cooking arsenal. I wanted to try something a little different than the apps I’ve been posting recently. This dish is a layered dip with black beans, chorizo, tomatoes, and cheese and would be perfect for watching the game or any other party!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup diced Spanish chorizo

1 1/2 cups chopped onion

1 jalapeño pepper, sliced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

5 garlic cloves, minced

3/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth

2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup chopped seeded tomato

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Game Day Round Up and Link Up

With the Wing Bowl in full swing down at the Wells Fargo Center, there is no better time to share all of your favorite game day recipes! I have a ton listed on this site, but I wanted to see what else is out there! Feel free to link up your top game day recipes below some of my featured recipes!

First up, my post from yesterday for a Pull-Apart Party Loaf. This loaf was made for sharing during the big game!

I will also be making a batch of these fall-off-the-bone Slow Cooker Bourbon BBQ Ribs. And I cannot wait!!

So what’s on your menu for the weekend? Link it up below!

Pull-Apart Party Loaf

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

Slow Cooker Bourbon BBQ Baby Back Ribs

I’m not even going to pretend to care about football. I have no clue what is going on on the field, nor do I honestly want to. Not even going to school with Flacco could peak my interest in the sport. But I do care about the food aspect of watching football, to no one’s surprise.

So with the season in full swing, I figured it was about time for me to figure out how to make ribs. I “surprisingly” do not have a smoker in my tiny apartment, so I went in search of a slow cooker recipe. This Bourbon BBQ Baby Back Ribs recipe fit the bill.

Ingredients:

5 lbs baby back ribs, cut to fit in your slow cooker

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup ketchup (or tomato puree)

1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup bourbon

1/4 cup horseradish
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Sriracha)
