Super Bowl Sunday

In honor of it being the Super Bowl, we went all out for this man's meal. We started out with home made buffalo and barbecue chicken wings, and sliders.


Wings:
We bought a pack of 16 wings (which cut in half makes 32). Deep fry wings for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oil, and place wings on a plate and cover with a few paper towels to soak up any remaining oil. Pour desired sauces for wings in separate bowls, and submerge the wings until they have a good coating of the sauce. Remove from bowl and eat away.

Sliders:
You will need:
1 lb of ground beef (80/20 works good)
rolls for about 10-12 sliders
one medium size yellow or white onion
4-5 pieces of bacon
cheese (your preference)

In a bowl combine ground beef, a dash of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and your choices of spices. 1 lb of ground beef makes about 10 good sized sliders, maybe 12 smaller ones. Once the patties are made, throw the sliders on a grill until desired wellness is reached. Cook the 4-5 slices of bacon, and divide evenly among the sliders. Grill the onions in a pan with a little bit of oil. If using cheese, throw it on the sliders when they are almost done on the grill.


That was only the start of the day though, the main course...

"Beef Pot Roast, Loaded Mashed Potatoes and Sauteed Green Beans"

Beef Pot Roast
By Alexa Slonin, From Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook
You Will Need:
2 medium potatoes, cubed
8 small carrots, cut in small chunks
2 small onions, cut in wedges
2 ribs celery, cut up
2 1/2 - 3 lbs. beef chuck or pot roast
2 Tbsp. cooking oil
3/4 cup water, dry wine, or tomato juice
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. instant beef bouillon granules
1 tsp. dried basil

1. Place vegetables in bottom of slow cooker
2. Brown roast in oil on skillet. Place on top of vegetables.
3. Combine water, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon, and basil. Pour over meat and vegetables.
4. Cover. Cook on low 10-12 hours.

Loaded Mashed Potatoes
You will need:
4-5 large potatoes
4-5 pieces of bacon
a bundle of green onions
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cheddar cheese
1-2 cups milk

Boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes, until they are tender and ready for mashing. Cook bacon, and place on paper towels to remove grease. Slice bacon in small pieces, set aside. Begin mashing the potatoes, and add in the milk. Continue to mash and add in the bacon, cheese, sour cream, green onion and more milk if necessary.

Saute green onions in a little bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with lemon pepper and serve alongside the roast and potatoes.


This was by far the craziest man's meal to date. This meal deserves 5 out of 5 because everything was excellent. The wings were just as good, if not better than any wings I've ever had in Denver, and the sliders were delicious as well. Everything in the main course was excellent as well, the pot roast cooked for just under 12 hours, and tasted great, and the potatoes and green beans were the perfect side. This meal easily served 5 people, who were all extremely stuffed afterward.
I can't wait for the Super Bowl next year, go Broncos!
