With football season in full swing, and Superbowl Sunday arriving in a few short months, I thought I might search for some tasty "football food" recipes.
Every Saturday and Sunday, my husband watches college and professional football games. Sometimes he watches the games alone and other times I watch with him, but he enjoys watching the games with his guy friends the most! When the guys get together to watch the games, they usually eat take-out foods or order home-delivery pizzas. I thought this Sunday I would cook them something special: spicy Buffalo Chicken Wings, homemade pizza, and frozen ice cream pie.
I've provided the recipes so you to try them yourself:
BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS*:
Ingredients=
1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying
24 chicken wings, tips removed and wings cut in half at joint
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
5 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Directions=
Heat the oil In a large skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep fry chicken wings in oil until done, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet or deep fryer and drain on paper towels.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Stir in the vinegar and hot pepper sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked chicken to sauce and stir over low heat to coat. The longer the wings simmer in the sauce, the hotter they will be. Serve warm.

BISQUICK PIZZA CRUST*:
Ingredients=
1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/3 cup very hot water
1 tsp vegatable oil
Directions=
Heat oven to 450. Mix the bisquick and water about 20 times. Turn onto a surface well dusted with bisquick mix and roll to coat it. Knead the dough till smooth and no longer sticky, about 60 times. Roll into a 12 inch circle and place on a greased 12 inch cookie sheet, brush the top with oil.
Put your desired ingredients on top. Bake on lowest oven rack till crust is brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
(I am going to put store bought pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and ground sausage on top of mine, but if you do not want to buy your sauce, here is a sauce recipe:
PIZZA SAUCE*:
Ingredients=
1 cup tomato sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
Dash of black pepper
Directions=
Mix ingredients together and spread over the pizza dough. The website I found this recipe on also suggests that you can put the tomato sauce on the pizza and then just sprinkle the spices on top of the sauce instead of mixing it together first for more flavor.

FROZEN ICE CREAM PIE:
My husband's sister gave me this recipe for Frozen Ice Cream Pie. It is easy to make and extremely good!
Ingredients=
1.5 Quarts Vanilla ice cream
Frozen Turtle Pie
8 ounce container of Cool Whip
Directions=
Thaw frozen pie until it is slightly soft. In a large bowl mix pie with slightly thawed ice cream and Cool Whip. Serve in individual bowls.
(You can use any of your favorite icecreams and pies for this recipe)
Enjoy!
