3 Exciting Tailgating Recipes, compliments of Swanson and
I just got an email from the folks at Swanson asking me to share some of their tailgating recipes with my readers. Their Chili, Cornbread Squares, and Kielbasa Wraps are sure to thrill your fellow football fans. And, while I don’t normally show photos of my gift baskets on this blog, it seemed appropriate in this special case. Go Hokies!
Spicy Honey-Mustard Kielbasa Wraps:
A spin on the classic pigs in a blanket
Prep: 20 minutes Makes: 8 servings
Bake: 25 minutes
1/2 of a 17.3 ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet)
1 egg
1 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. honey mustard
1 package (16 ounces) turkey or beef kielbasa, cut into 8 pieces
Directions:
1) Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for 40 minutes or until it’s easy to handle. Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork.
2) Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the sheet into a 13 x 9-inch rectangle. Brush the pastry with the honey mustard. Cut the pastry into 8 (about 4 1/2 x 3-inch) rectangles.
3) Place 1 piece kielbasa in the center of each pastry rectangle. Brush the edges with the egg mixture. Fold the pastry over the kielbasa and press the edges to seal. Place the wraps seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the wraps with the egg mixture.
4) Bake for 25 minutes or until the wraps are golden. Remove from the baking sheets and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Serve with additional honey mustard for dipping.
Fiesta Chili:
Prep/Cook: 25 minutes Makes: 4 servings
1 lb. ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 can (about 15 ounces), red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup Pace® Chunky Salsa
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 can (14 oz.) Swanson® Seasoned Beef Broth with Onion Squares
Directions:
1) Cook the beef, garlic and chili powder in a 4-quart saucepot over medium-high heat until browned, stirring frequently to break up meat. Pour off any fat.
2) Add the beans, salsa, corn and broth. Heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
3) Serve with Cornbread Squares.
Cornbread Squares: Heat the oven to 400°F. Mix 1 pkg. (about 8 oz.) corn muffin mix according to pkg. directions. Spread half the batter in greased 8-inch square baking pan. Top with 1/2 cup each Pace® Picante Sauce and shredded Cheddar cheese. Spread remaining batter on top. Bake 20 min. or until done.
