Super Bowl Recipes
Jan. 29, 2010
For many people, the Super Bowl isn’t only about the game between two top ranking professional football teams.
Food, be it snacks, beverages or full meals that are prepared ahead, are just as important to many people as watching the game itself. Here’s a couple of recipes to try for Super Bowl Sunday, or as a fast and easy snack anytime. Both use our versatile ground buffalo burger.
Buffalo Burritos
1 lb. Smoky Hill Bison ground buffalo burger
4 large soft tortillas
2 1/2 cups refried beans
1 cup brown rice, cooked
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
sour cream
salsa
lettuce
Directions
Spray skillet with cooking spray and add spices and salt to ground meat and cook until done. Meanwhile, combine beans and rice in a saucepan and heat on low until warmed through (or microwave instead).
Place tortillas in a folded damp towel on a baking sheet and place in the oven on low until ready to make the burritos.
To make, place a warm tortilla on a plate, place 1/4 of the bean mixture and meat on the flat tortilla, leaving 2 inches at bottom of tortilla so it can be folded up.
Add 1/4 cheese, salsa, sour cream, lettuce or anything else you want, fold up the bottom and roll the sides around. Four servings.
Layered Buffalo Taco Dip
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb. Smoky Hill Bison ground buffalo burger
2 (1 ounce) packets taco seasoning mix
1 (14.25 ounce) can refried beans
2 cups guacamole
2 cups sour cream
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, chopped
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Fresh diced tomatoes or salsa (optional)
Directions
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. This dish will be used to heat the layered dip.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ground buffalo and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon as it browns, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the contents of one taco seasoning packet over meat and onion; mix well.
Combine the second packet of taco seasoning mix and the refried beans in a small bowl.
Spread the seasoned beans in the prepared baking dish. Layer the buffalo and onion mixture, guacamole, and sour cream over the beans. Top with the black olives, green onions, jalapenos, and the shredded Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, and the ingredients are hot, about 30 minutes. Top with fresh diced tomatoes or salsa if desired. Serve with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Ten servings.
