for some you may identify the super bowl with over-the-top ad campaigns, for others its the highlight of football season, or it may just be about the food. the super bowl is synonymous with eating, and eating a lot! it is up there with thanksgiving as one of the only days of the year that it is acceptable to overindulge and not feel guilty.
i had a blast contributing to our super bowl party this year. i wanted to make something that incorporated pittsburgh tradition (yes, i am a steelers fan!!) so i made Primanti Brother's sliders. for those of you who don't know what that is...it is a famous deli chain that started in the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Primanti Brother's is unique for their french fries and cole slaw topped sandwiches. i know some of you may be thinking thats weird...but trust me, its awesome! its a little late to add these to your super bowl menu but save it for next year or make it for dinner when you are looking for something a little different.
Sandwich Sauce:
1 C. mayonnaise
1 T. BBQ sauce
2 T. fresh lime juice
2 T. shallots (minced)
1 t. sugar
Other Ingredients:
Dinner Rolls (sliced)
1/2 C. Pepper jack cheese
1/2 C. Cheddar Cheese
1 Lb. sliced ham
French Fries (1 tray cooked)
2 Tomatoes (sliced)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix sauce in a small bowl
Spread the mayonnaise over the bottom of the dinner roll. Layer with ham and cheese. Top with french fries and place top halves of bread back on.
Place in oven until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 8 minutes.
Remove tops and garnish with cole slaw and tomatoes. Serve warm!
