Hey guys,

I have just been informed I an attending a Mexican themed super bowl party and am supposed to bring something. Everyone is expecting something off the egg and I don't have the time to come up with something to cook. I was wondering if any of you had any ideas and recipes. Thanks in advance.

    Smoked Pork Chili Verde, made extra thick. Served with some small flour tortillas and sour cream.
  • ABT's are always a crowd pleaser.

    Frijoles a la charra...make it into a dip for some Tostito scoops.
  • When Rick Bayless was on Top Chef Masters, he kept a blog with his comments about the show. He also posted a few recipes. I couldn't find the blog anymore, but the recipe I was thinking of when I read your post is now on the Bravo website: queso fundido burgers

    What Bacchus said. That sounds delicious and will hold well for serving at a later time. What time is the party? :woohoo:

    Try cooking this or other chili in advance, reheats nicely, just add rice.

    2009/08/21--Richard Fl--Cooked 2 8 1/2 lbs pork butt 350F for 3 hours. Used them for the Florida Mini Fest. Made 3 gallons chili and took to party and reheated in 9 qt DO.
  • I was kinda thinking about trying that. Thanks everyone.
  • If you don't have time to cook, this is super quick and very good.

    Chile con queso dip:

    Velveeta cheese
    Rotel's Tomatos & Green chiles

    Melt them together. If you want to get fancy, throw in some cooked hamburger meat.

    Take tostada chips with you.

  • One thing that is very filling and very good is Puerco Pibil. I think I've talked myself into what I bringing to the superbowl.
