Game Day Menu Thread

[A.J. Hicks]

Starting this extra early this weekend.

My birthday was earlier this week (unfortunately had to suffer through it the day after that horrible loss to the niners). My wife found these flat top grills that go right on top of your stove. https://steelmadeusa.com/

It came Thursday. I've only cooked on it once thus far but I love it.

With the new grill top we are planning on making fish tacos. I'm sure she'll make a home made slaw to go with them.

We also got a sour dough starter from a friend and may try making a loaf of sour dough.

What do you guys have cooking for this weekends game? I assume some of you will have bird on the menu.

I am glad you started this @A.J. Hicks .... I need inspiration.

I made a nice cheeseburger soup today. .... But tomorrow...?

 

[HX76]

A cheeseburger soup? Sounds interesting. Don’t recall seeing a Heinz can of that in my local supermarket.

Me still stuck with Thanksgiving leftovers.

Grilled Ham and Cheese it is.

PS I ate the S##t out of that Turkey Breast and Dressing.

Tell me more about this cheeseburger soup.....

I didn't do traditional thanksgiving food this year but I've seen these sandwiches where they use the left over stuffing to make waffles then make a sandwich. I've been trying to make one of those with all the left overs.

Tell me more about this cheeseburger soup.....

I didn't do traditional thanksgiving food this year but I've seen these sandwiches where they use the left over stuffing to make waffles then make a sandwich. I've been trying to make one of those with all the left overs.

1 small yellow onion
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1 tsp basil
1 tsp dried parsley
3 cups chicken broth
1 lb ground beef
3 Tbs butter (I do not quite half stick)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar (or 16oz Velvetta)
Up to 4 small potatoes
Up to 2 cups 2% milk

Here is how I just did it;

Put chopped onion, shredded carrots, chopped celery, basil, parsley in your slow cooker.

Add 3 cups chicken broth.

Chop up your potatoes but add at a pace... Only add what looks good to you. I’m not a huge potato filler in my soup, so I add on light side.

Cook this until potatoes are done. Usually 3-4 hours.

Once I’ve added that to the crock, since my kitchen is dirty... cook the ground beef, drain. Put in a container for refrigerator. You’ll grab it later.

Shred your cheese, or get it ready now too. Then put cheese and beef in refrigerator for once potatoes are cooked (later). This just saves time later.

I usually go ahead and measure my flour, salt, pepper, toss it into contrainer together, set aside. Again... less mess later. All prepped!

Your done for 3-4 hours.

When potatoes are done... Pour the beef and cheese into the crockpot. Stir it up. The cheese will start to melt pretty fast, but things will cool a little.

Now grab the butter, melt it in a saucepan... get it bubbling. Add the flour, salt, pepper and whisk into a paste. Pour this in the crock.

Stir it up.

Cook for 30-40 minutes.

Heres the only other trick... start adding your milk as things heat up. Get it looking your way, up to 2 cups of milk. I’d start with one... but sample it and add up to two.

Done!

I like to top with paprika and green onion.

ADD BACON for bacon cheeseburger. That’s almost a no brainer.

It will feed 4 easily. It can be rich, depending the amount of milk added.

I've had no appetite since the 49ers beat us.

This thread should not be allowed...

These are just my thoughts and game day menus' are not on my agenda for this game at Arizona.

Nope nope nope. Every game should be celebrated like it's 1999 lol.

I'm thinking rice. There's a lot of leftover rice. Just had a midnight snack of cereal (cornflakes with chocolate and dried fruit).

 

[JackKirbyFan]

Some leftover asparagus, cauliflower, brussel sprouts (hate bs but they are good for you) and salmon all barbequed Saturday night. We use the Ninja indoor barbeque and I'm telling you, you can't tell the difference. Besides, it's windy here in Thousand Oaks; that's why the Rams practiced at SoFi this week.
PS--Next week I'm gonna bring in a Pastrami Dip from The Hat in Simi Valley. I can have junk food once a month and there's nothing like a Pastrami Dip from the Hat. They make the best.

I am going the sandwich route.

Turkey, bacon, clubs on some nice bread. Toasted. Soup for side.

Fajitas for me. And plenty beer. I'm off tomorrow so there will also obviously be Victory Scotch.

I’m curious what you consider fajitas?! Maybe Old El Paso ones?

I'm making a giant pot of Italian sauce with grilled chicken & spicy sausage with some pepper and onions. Not sure yet what kind of pasta I'm getting to pour it over.

Also... gonna get some fresh shaved parmesan cheese to throw on top.

Garlic bread too.
