Just in time for the big game: Some simple Super Bowl hors d’oeuvres

John Bucy forwarded these easy recipes for Super Bowl enjoyment.

The first is complements of my good friends Mike & Kristi Hill. I call it kielbasa skewers.

One ring of kielbasa sausage
One jar large green olives
Cheese (Cheddar, jack, pepper jack, Swiss, whatever your pleasure. Choose one or use any combination.)

Grill the kielbasa and cut into large, bite size chunks. Cut cheese into bite size cubes.

Using long tooth picks or short wooden skewers, put kielbasa, cheese and olive on skewers.

Serve and enjoy!

The second recipe is for a bean dip that I got out of a newspaper feature on tailgating ideas.

One large can of refried beans (Rosarita)
One small block of Velveeta cheese
One small jar Pace Picante Salsa (Or use some of Saleen’s “Special Salsa”!!)
One half cup Ranch salad dressing

Cut the Velveeta into cubes.

Put refried beans and cubed Velveeta into microwave safe bowl. Alternately heat in microwave and stir until beans are warm enough and cheese is melted to make a smooth, blended mixture.

Add salsa and Ranch dressing and stir until mixed.

Serve warm with favorite corn or tortilla chips.
