Time just gets away from me. Are you the same way? Here are a few last minute, super simple, super easy, super spicy Super Bowl appetizers sure to please any crowd. Whether you are cheering for your favorite team, or you just like to watch great football, Sunday’s game should be a winner. Easy to pick up nibbles allow you to watch the entire game without missing a single play. Even if you aren’t having a party, you don’t want to miss those crazy commercials.
I’m more of an SEC college football fan, and my favorite team didn’t make it to the big show this year, but the Super Bowl never disappoints. The two best teams in the country, Gladys Knight singing the National Anthem, incredible commercials, the half-time show with Maroon 5, and food, glorious food. Grab one or two of these appetizers, made uniquely spicy with OSA Gourmet products, a beverage of choice, and prepare for a fun evening.
Buffalo Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs
Shake up your deviled eggs with some Snake Bite Hot Sauce, Buffalo chicken, celery, and a little blue cheese. The tangy Buffalo chicken gives the eggs a unique kick that will knock your socks off and have you cheering for more.
Mini Datil Pepper Cheese Balls
These individual cheese balls are super easy to make, and even easier to eat. You can make them with Extra Sharp Cheddar, Cream Cheese, OSA Gourmet Fountain Of Youth Datil Marinade, Chopped Toasted Pecans and Flat Leaf Parsley. You could just as easily stir in Datil Jerk Jamaican Seasoning and a little Snake Bite or Venom Datil Pepper Hot Sauce.
Smoked Salmon Bites
Smoked salmon tops a spicy, sauce made from sour cream, chives, capers, chopped onion, Datil Zest Seasoning Blend andSnake Bite Hot Sauce. Quick and easy to whip up in just minutes, then chill to combine the flavors. Buy good quality wild caught smoked salmon. One package makes a lot of appetizers. Wheat crackers, melba toast, or small rye bread rounds are the perfect base. If you can find them, mini bagels are also great here.
Sweet Heat Meatballs
Smoky Sweet Heat Bar-B-Que Sauce makes these organic turkey meatballs a quick and easy sure-fire hit. The hint of datil pepper in the Sweet Heat gives the meatballs just the right kick without being over the top hot. To save time, buy good quality frozen meatballs and throw them in a crockpot along with Sweet Heat Bar-B-Que Sauce, and just let them cook on low for about 6 hours.
Sweet Heat Meatball Sliders
Take your meatballs up a notch by making them into sliders. My buns were just a little large for the meatballs, so I put 2 meatballs in each one. Alfalfa Sprouts add a nice crunch and flavor and complete the slider.
Spicy Pimento Cheese Stuffed Veggies
As a true Southern girl, I have to make my pimiento cheese from scratch, but you can buy it in the deli and stuff celery, pickled okra, mini bell peppers, and more.
Easy Cheesy Datil Dip
This may be the easiest hot dip you ever make. So simple, yet amazingly delicious. And it’s extremely easy to modify by adding crabmeat, artichokes, veggies, or just about anything you have on hand that you like in a dip.
FROG Jam Stuffed Dates
Are you craving something sweet? Large Medjool dates are perfect for stuffing with a little cream cheese and FROG Jam. In case you aren’t familiar with FROG Jam, it’s made with Figs, Raspberries, Orange and Ginger. Absolutely no frogs were harmed in the making of this jam. It’s sweet but has a little spicy kick from the ginger, and it’s currently the only product we have at OSA Gourmet without any heat. Of course, you can always substitute any jam or preserves you have on hand to make these little gems. The pecans add a nice nutty crunch to compliment the soft chewy dates and sweet silky jam-filled center. Fast and easy, and they are sure to disappear quickly.
1/2cupcooked chicken breast, diced finely (Deli chicken works perfectly here)
1/2cupcelery, finely diced
1/4cupblue cheese, finely crumbled (If you don’t like blue cheese, substitute your favorite)
celery leaves or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Remove yolks and place in bowl of food processor.
Add in the mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Datil Zest, and 1 teaspoon Snake Bite or Venom Datil Pepper Hot Sauce, and pulse until smooth. You can mix this together in a mixing bowl using a fork to mash the egg yolks with the mayonnaise and hot sauce and spoon the mixture into the egg whites versus using a pastry bag.
Place yolk mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into the egg white shells to make a pretty, ruffled presentation. (Alternatively, you can place the mixture into a zip top bag, snip off one corner, and pipe the filling into the egg white.)
In a small bowl, mix the chopped chicken with the 1-2 Tablespoons of Snake Bite or Venom Datil Pepper Hot Sauce. Stir to coat all the chicken completely.
Using a small spoon, place a few pieces of chicken on top of each egg yolk.
Place a few pieces of diced celery and crumbled cheese on top of the egg yolk beside the chicken.
Mix all ingredients together. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
Pre-heat Oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place cheese dip mixture in an oven proof bowl.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown on top.
Serve hot with crackers, chips, or veggies of choice.
Notes
This is the perfect base for any number of dip combinations: Add in a can of crabmeat, a jar of well-drained and chopped artichoke hearts, crumbled bacon, chopped mushrooms, chopped water chestnuts, diced pepperoni, or just about anything you can think of that you love in a dip.
24pecan halves, walnut halves or whole almonds, toasted if desired
Instructions
Using a small sharp knife, make a slit in one side of each date and carefully remove the pit.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and the FROG Jam until completely mixed.
Using a small spoon, place about 1 teaspoonful of cream cheese mixture into each date.
Top with a nut half.
Refrigerate, covered until ready to serve.
May be sprinkled with powdered sugar to garnish, if desired.
