Okay, I need to make something for a Super Bowl Party, any ideas of something unique? Appetizer type, I'm thinking finger foods. I want to make it, don't want to buy it!

I keep some recipes hanging around that I want to try out next time I entertain. I saw this one on Real Simple's website:

Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas:

1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 tbsp flour
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 10 oz box frozen peas & carrots
1 3 to 4 pound store bought rotisserie chicken (meat shredded)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 refridgerated 9-inche pie crusts (from a 15-oz pkg, such as Pilsbury)

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minut. Still stirring, slowly add broth. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add peas & carrots, chicken, salt, & pepper. Remove from heat

Cut each piecrust in half to form 4 half circles. Spoon mixture over the bottom half of each circle, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Using your fingers, wet the border with water. Fold the top of each crust over the chicken to form a quarter circle. Press to seal. Make three 1-inch slits in each top crust. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until golden 15 - 18 minutes.

Makes four servings.

I bet you could play around with ingredients on this and come up with some interesting variations if you don't think pot pies are very "super bowl" oriented. :)

When I do this kind of party I pick a dish associated with the region of each team.

Pats: A big pot of chowdah.
NY: Something deli...corned beef on rye?

Baked beans.

Grilled Italian sausage,sweet peppers and onions on fresh rolls.

(be prepared for the obvious consequences of such folly)

I actually decided to make a desert since I thought others might forget that. So I'm making double fudge brownies with homemade peanut butter frosting! :drool:

7 layer dip ... I could eat that shit for every meal :)

I'm making a dreamsicle cake with cream cheese frosting
