Family loves it and when i dont want to cook a big meal i cook this. Also you can add things and take away. a friend adds taco seasoning when he's cooking hb meat. have fun with it.
I was going to say Chili too, but a bunch of guys eating chili? Maybe not... I would make a platter of sandwiches, or if you feel like cooking, then some enchiladas? or a bunch of different appetizers.. hot wings.. meatballs, fruit salad... Some football cookies or cupcakes would be cute...
This is the BEST recipe!! In fact, it is simmering as I speak and I can't think of anything that guys would like better!!! Serve with cornbread or burgers/hotdogs, chips, etc..
CROCKPOT BEANS
1 lb. hamburger, cooked and drained
3/4 lb bacon, fried and cut up
1 can of each:
Kidney beans
Lima beans
2 cans of Vegetarian style beans (Van De Camps style)

1 c ketchup
1/4 c brown sugar
3 T liquid smoke
3 T vinegar

Chicken Wings always go over well. Instead of cooking them, order them and have time for other snack foods.
Taco Boats. Get a package of Wonton wraps. Usually sold in the produce section. Place two wraps each in a muffin tin (12 cups + 2 makes 24). Brown 1 pound of hamburger meat or sausage and 1 chopped onion. Drain and add 1 package of Ranch Dressing Mix. Stir in and spoon a little in each cup you have pre-baked and top with grated cheese. Add another dollop of meat and more cheese to top it off. Place back in the oven until cheese melts. Plate these up and have salsa and shredded lettuce for topping.
Make a large crock pot of cheese dip. Brown a pound of breakfast sausage with 1 chopped onion. Drain. Add to crock pot and stir in one can of cream of mushroom soup (undiluted), one can of Rotel and one large brick of Velveeta cheese (sliced). Let this simmer on low so the cheese melts and serve with tortilla chips. If it is too thick add tablespoon of heavy cream at a time.
This bean salad is awesome and filling since it has beans in it. Get one can each and drain, mixed beans, garbanzo beans, light red kidney beans. Mix it 1 bottle of French Dressing and when you are ready to serve dump in a bag of Frito Corn Chips and mix well. This one will surprise you!
Get a couple of packages of Italian Meatballs, already cooked. Thaw and place on the stove top with 1 large Bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle BBQ Sauce. Let simmer on low to heat. Have toothpicks on the side for dipping!
Other than that pretzels and salted nuts for the game room.
For sweet tooths make brownies, a bunch of brownies!
I have learned over the years that a sit down meal on game day is not worth my time I put into it. The guys like to mingle and snack on and off all throughout the game and halftime.
Make snack type foods and they will be there when they are ready to eat and will last throughout the afternoon/evening.
I usually do chili, or burritos, or pizza. Hot dogs are good, and hamburgers, but if its cold, I won't do that.
They always like the mini weenie's in BBQ sauce or pigs in a blanket and crackers with meats and cheese, with all sorts of dips for chips. They even like the shrimp cocktail. I like to do a veg tray also, Amazingly they eat it all.
Sounds like fun!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the onion, garlic and parsley, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Flatten out the meat in the bowl and score it into four portions using the side of your hand. Shape each portion into four balls 鈥?you should have sixteen meatballs in total.
Arrange the meatballs on a nonstick sheet pan and drizzle them with EVOO. Place in the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Toss the baked meatballs in the hot sauce to coat.

Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
2 cups arugula, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes, 3 to 4 roma or plum tomatoes, seeded
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
A sack of corn chips
Yields: 10 servings
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350掳F.
Place bacon on a slotted broiler pan and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until bacon gets crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool for a couple minutes and roughly chop.
Pit and scoop avocados into a bowl. Chop the garlic, sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the chopped garlic and chop it again so it makes a paste. Add the garlic paste, the chopped jalape帽os, lemon juice and red onions to the bowl and mash the guacamole until smooth.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer guacamole to a serving dish and top with the chopped arugula, tomatoes and bacon. Serve with corn chips.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 11 1/2-ounce bag sour cream %26amp; onion-flavored potato chips, finely crushed
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk, plus additional to thin out dipping sauce
1 package (about 12 pieces) chicken tenders or 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch strips
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup blue cheese
1 scallion, chopped
Hot sauce, to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350掳F.
Season the all-purpose flour with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and place in a shallow dish. Place the finely crushed potato chips in a second shallow dish. In a third dish, beat together the egg and milk. Coat the chicken tenders into the flour, coating completely and shaking off any excess.
Dip thoroughly in the egg mixture and then into the crushed chips.
Transfer the chip-coated chicken to a cookie sheet with a rack on top of it or put them on a broiler pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, make the spicy blue cheese dipping sauce: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, blue cheese, scallion, hot sauce and lemon juice, and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick for good dipping, add a shot or two of milk. Serve the sour cream and onion chicken fingers with the spicy blue cheese dipping sauce with a few celery and carrot sticks alongside for good measure.

Make some wings. they are very tasty and filling. here is a recipe that i like but there are tons of recipes out there find which one sounds the tastiest to u and tweak it to make it perfect.
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Sauce

1/4 cup margarine, not butter
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Deep fry chicken in 375 degrees oil for 13 minute or until juices run clear. Drain on paper towel and place in bowl and toss with sauce. Repeat with remaining chicken
7 layer dip is great, with chips
chili is always easy, filling, and great if it's cold.
cheese and fruit and crackers
Don't make too much effort if they are drinkers.....they won't want to fill up on food and will be too busy watching the game to have a sit down meal, so keep it simple with mostly finger foods and dips and something small during halftime. good luck!
Make something that can be mostly done in advance so you can spend time with your friends watching the game instead of being trapped in the kitchen.
Try a simple ground beef or turkey bolognese (recipes abound in cookbooks and on the web). It's easy (and forgiving) to make, even for a big crowd, the sauce can be prepared in advance (indeed, it's best prepared a day or two in advance), and the only cooking you'll need to do when it's feeding time is the pasta. Use penne for the pasta -- it's easier to eat around a TV than the traditional tagliatelle (a lasagna is another good substitute and can also be done in advance, only to need heating). Serve with a big salad with Italian dressing.
By the way, if you use turkey, use ground dark (thigh) meat, not white meat, which is utterly insipid.
PIZZA, burgers, hot dogs, buy some chicken, steak, shrimp,potato chips, dips
chili is quite filling
Veggie Lasagna - YUM!
VEGETABLE LASAGNA
9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 (19 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach or broccoli cuts, defrosted and squeezed dry
1 (32 oz.) carton Ricotta cheese
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese (plus a little to grate on top)
1 (32 oz.) jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (with mushrooms is good and keeps the recipe vegetarian)
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning/herbs
Combine the spinach or broccoli (and any veggies leftover in the refrigerator), Ricotta, Parmesan cheese, and herbs. In a 9 x 13 inch pan, layer ingredients in the following order: 1/2 cheese mixture 1/3 sauce
Repeat and top with 3 noodles, sauce, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
I would do a big pot or crock pot full of chili and a couple of huge trays of chicken wings. Serve the chili with big slices of garlic bread, and of course have lots of drinks on hand!
