May the force be with you: Red chili (aka Red Menace) -- Try this chili with sharp cheddar cheese, raw chopped onion, chopped avocado. (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune) |
You've got a television, some football-loving friends and a plan to watch the Super Bowl together. Now all you need is great party food.
This year, bet on a menu that sticks close to the classics by making chili the star attraction at a tasting party. We chose three chilis with distinct flavors to set up a competition as guests taste and choose a favorite. Cook them ahead (they freeze well) and save your game day labors for cutting fresh toppings and setting the scene.
Round out the menu with chips, your best guacamole and hot corn bread, and get ready for the party hall of fame.
