Super Bowl Chili Bowls

• Courtesy of Chef Kaess

Serves 12

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry dough cut into twelve equal squares
• 24 ounces chili of your choice
• 1 pound of shredded Jack cheese

Directions:

1. Lightly stretch out each square of puff dough and place evenly into muffin tin that has been lightly sprayed with oil.
2. Spoon 2oz chili into each pastry square, top with 1 oz shredded Jack cheese
3. Bake at 350 for fifteen minutes until cheese is melted.

“I like this recipe because it is a meal or app in a self-serving cup. It’s easy to make and is not too time consuming. The best part of this recipe is you can be creative and make your own chili recipe, which makes it your own creation.”

Yields 70 mini corndogs

Ingredients:

• 2 packages of cocktail link (approx. 70)
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 jalapenos (fine brunoise)
• 8.5 oz creamed corn
• 1/3 cup grated onion
• 1 ½ cup buttermilk
• 2 oz cornstarch
• 1 box of toothpicks (plain, no plastic)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in deep fryer or pot to 375 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne)
3. In a separate mixing bowl combine the wet ingredients (Jalapenos, creamed corn, grated onion, buttermilk)
4. When oil is up to temperature, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir/fold to combine. DO NOT OVERMIX.
5. Let mixture rest for 10 minutes, DO NOT SKIP
6. While mixture is resting, skewer links with toothpick and lightly dredge in flour. Shake off excess and set aside.
7. Scoop batter in a deep vessel (I like a coffee cup) and quickly dip and spin the link with cornstarch in batter
8. “Swim” your mini corndog in the oil for 5 seconds before completely dropping it and let it cook in the oil for 3-4 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
9. Remove from oil to cooling rack
10. Serve with yellow mustard

“I like this recipe because it is a cool modification to the traditional corndog recipe. If you use smoked links, the smoky, salty, spicy combination will be a hit at your party.”
