Football Recipes! Send Em' In!

Hi Gang! The first full-blown college football weekend starts Aug. 30.
Good food and drink are staples of a great football buffet.

We're going to get you started with two recipes! Send your favorite football season recipe in and we will get it on the blog.

The blog dip is from Brittian Anderson. Britt is an Ole Miss grad and can explain what the term "Hotty Toddy" means. "Hotty Toddy" is what Ole Miss fans say to each other when they passing each other, want food, want drink, going into the game, leaving the game, pulling up, driving home, or at the births of any future Ole Miss fans.

GROVE DIP by Ole Miss alum and two-time degreed Brittian Anderson.

2 cans of Mexicorn, drained
3/4 of a bag of shredded mild cheddar cheese
3/4 of a bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. of lemon juice
1 tbsp. of Cajun seasoning (like Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning)
3-4 tbsp. of chopped jalapeƱos
4-5 tbsp. of sour cream

Sprinkle chives on top.
Serve with Fritos Scoops

Britt didn't recommend this but I suspect yor favorite drink works with this whether it has a serious kick or not!


Greg's Jambalaya.

2 pounds of Raw Shrimp, Chicken Filets, Smoked Sausage.
2 cups of Converted Rice.
Two Cans of French Onion Soup
Two Cans of Cream of Celery
One Can of Rotels ( I like Spicy Rotels)
One Large Bulb Onion
One Large Green Bell Pepper
One Large Red Bell Pepper
One Large Orange Bell Pepper
1/2 Cup Green Onions Chopped
Two Bottles of Dark Beer
One Large Pan-Big Enough To Hold Very Large Turkey (12-14 lb. Turkey. That's a reference point for size at the grocery store.)

Peel shrimp. Cut chicken into cubes and slice the sausage. Cut the chicken and sausage into consistent sizes so it cooks evenly.
Evenly distribute the shrimp, chicken, and sausage into the pan.
Pour French Onion, Soup, Cream of Celery Soup, and Rotels into pan and stir evenly with shrimp, chicken, and sausage.
Spread the two cups of rice evenly through pan.
Chop all peppers and onion as much as your patience will allow.

This will make a big heavy pan of food. Take a large spoon. Wooden spoon is better cause it won't tear the food.
Gently stir and evenly distribute the food in the pan.

Take one dark beer. Guinness is good. Evenly pour over pan.
Take aluminum foil. Tightly cover the food.
Preheat oven to 375.
Cook for 75-80 Minutes.
Drink 2nd Dark Beer.
Take it out. Loosen the Foil.
Cook For another 15 Minutes.
Take out of oven.
Sample one of the chicken cubes you cut. If those are done. It's good to go.
Feeds 12 people. You will probably have plenty left over
