Go team! Game day is the perfect time to gather friends and family to cheer on your favorite team. But who wants to be running in and out of the kitchen between plays to check the oven? The key to this menu is that it’s full of hearty recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, so you can enjoy the game too!

Since the TV will be at the center of the party, set out the food as a buffet. Include snack mixes, nuts and fresh vegetables with dip for nibbling. Serve an assortment of beers and soft drinks in a big cooler or tub. Decorate with team banners, streamers and plates and napkins in your team’s colors.

              Chipotle Black Bean Salsa

              This colorful salsa has a fresh flavor yet is so easy to make from items in your pantry. It has a moderate smoky heat from the chipotle chile pepper and is highlighted by fresh cilantro.

              Spicy Pulled Pork in Tart Cherry Sauce with Vanilla Slaw

              The pairing of two antioxidant rich ingredients – cayenne and tart cherries – is a perfect match in slow cooked pulled pork. The cayenne brings an underlying heat and the dried cherries add a sweet and sour balance.

              Ancho Chile Con Carne

              This no-bean Southwest-style chili is made with both ancho and chipotle chile peppers. It is high in both chile flavor and heat. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as grated cheese or chopped onions, if desired.

              Toasted Sesame Root Beer Cake

              Use micro-brewed root beer to add vanilla and ginger undertones to this easy glazed cake. It pairs perfectly with the delicate nuttiness and crunch of toasted sesame seed.

              Chile Chocolate Brownies

              Adding ancho and chipotle chile peppers, and Saigon Cinnamon to a brownie mix creates bold flavor with a pleasant warmth, but not too much heat. These brownies are simple to make, but become a spectacular dessert when topped with caramel sauce and whipped cream.
