Top Three Super Bowl LIV Recipes

The biggest night in professional football is coming up soon. But the clash of the gridiron Titans  is not the only thing spectators are excited about. In my house, the commercials and half-time show are just as much, if not more,  of a draw than the actual game. But there is one more thing that millions of people look forward to-THE FOOD!

When I think of football games, I definitely don't think of tea sandwiches and frilly toothpicks (not that there's anything wrong with them). So be warned, this food is not dainty (nor low-cal).  This blog is all about some tried and true recipes that have a broad appeal with minimal effort and are SO GOOD!

Easy French  Dip Sliders

Grease a 9x13 pan generously with unsalted butter.

Keeping them all together, slice horizontally:

1 12-pack of Kings Hawaiian Rolls

Lay the bottom half of the rolls in the pan.

In the following order, layer on top of  the bread:

6 slices of smoked provolone

1 lb Oscar Mayer Slow-Roasted Roast Beef

11/2 C French's Crispy Fried Caramelized Onions 

6 slices of smoked provolone

Top with other half of the rolls.

Mix together:

8 T melted unsalted butter

1 T Au Jus seasoning mix

1 t Worchestershire sauce

1 T toasted sesame seeds

3/4 t garlic powder

1/2 t onion powder

Brush the butter mixture all over the top of the sliders. It's possible that you may only use about 2/3-3/4 of it. 

Bake sliders at 350, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Be careful because butter mixture burns easily. 

Meanwhile, prepare remaining Au Jus for dipping (although I don't find it necessary at all).

Once baked, cut sliders apart with a sharp knife. 

These are ridiculous! The combination of sweet and salty, soft and crunchy is amazingly delicious! It will have your crowd echoing my 16 year-old's sentiments, "Why are these so good?!"
