Super Pinterest!

It's "Pinterest Week"! Everything I'm crocking this week is a recipe I found pinned on Pinterest. Never heard of Pinterest? DON'T look it up! You'll become addicted. I promise.

We invited a few people over to watch the Super Bowl tonight, so I decided to do some Super Bowl themed crocks today.

"Pulled Buffalo Chicken" (6 quart pot) Original is HERE.

~3 lb. bag of FROZEN chicken breasts
~1 bottle Frank's Wings Buffalo Sauce
~1 packet Ranch Dip Mix
~2 T butter
~blue cheese crumbles
~kaiser rolls

Put FROZEN chicken, Frank's, and ranch dip mix into crock pot.
Cook on low at least 6 to 7 hours
Using two forks, shred chicken & return to crock pot.
Add butter.
Cook on low for an additional hour.
Serve on kaiser rolls.
Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles.

8 servings.

Drool. I served it on Kaiser rolls and sprinkled some blue cheese crumbles on top. It's all of the buffalo chicken flavor but without the evil bad for you fried batter. I could live off of this. For serious.

AND then because, I dunno, I felt like making a dip that clogs arteries by simply reading the ingredient list...

"Ultimate Super Bowl Dip" (6 quart pot) Original is HERE.

~8 oz hot Italian sausage
~1/2 cup chopped onion
~1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
~2 cloves garlic, minced
~2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced fat block-style cream cheese, softened
~1 1/2 cups finely shredded Parmesan
~1/4 cup milk
~1/4 cup mayonnaise (I used Chipotle flavored.)
~1/4 cup light sour cream
~2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
~1/3 cup mild banana pepper rings, drained and chopped

In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion, red pepper, and garlic until sausage is browned, stirring often; drain off fat and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, Parmesan, milk, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
Add sausage mixture, spinach, and banana peppers; gently stir to combine.
Add mixture to greased crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.

10 servings. (or 100 servings because it's SO bad for you, you should probably eat it crumb by crumb.)

Since it wasn't originally a crock pot recipe, I tried to covert it. AND I think I was successful. It was definitely "different" and yummy.

Happy Super Bowl!
