Super Bowl Party Snacks!

Ofcourse every Holiday/Celebration has to have great food with it!  Super Bowl is included in that catagory.  So, I am trying to decide what to have for Super Bowl Sunday.  I told Jim that we needed my SIL, Shannon, here with us.  She always comes up with the yummiest snacks.  She even makes fruits and veggies yummy!  Well, since she can't come, I will have to do my own.

Seven Layer Cookie (Bar)



Seven Layer Bars

In a bottom of a 9x13 cake pan, drizzle one stick of melted buttter.  Add in layers:

1 c. crushed graham crackers

1 c. shredded coconut

1 6 oz chocolate chips (I like to do half semi-sweet and milk chocolate)

1 6 oz butterschotch chips

Drizzle over top 1 can sweetened condensed milk, then sprinkle with 1 c. chopped pecans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.   The top will be carmelized but the inside should be soft and yummy.

**This Recipe came from one of my followers!  Back in December when I did the last giveaway and asked the question about "what kind of cookie do you leave out for Santa", Jill answered with a SEVEN LAYER COOKIE!  I hadn't heard of a cookie before that was a SEVEN LAYER COOKIE, so Jill shared it with me so I could share with the rest of you.  Thank You Jill!  It was wonderful!

Spaghetti Pie

1 lb hamburger
1/2 of an onion (diced)
1 can (26.5 oz) traditional spaghetti sauce
2 cups macaroni pasta
1-2 eggs  (I use 1 when I make it, Jim uses 2)
1/2 -1 cup cottage cheese (how ever much you desire)
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
garlic powder

Brown hamburger with onion.  Drain off any excess grease.  Add spaghetti sauce to hamburger and bring to a simmer.

Cook and drain macaroni noodles.  Beat egg.  Combine noodles, egg, cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.  Stir together.  Pour noodle mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish.  Sprinkle garlic powder lightly over noodles.  Pour hamburger sauce over the top off noodles.  Top with the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbley and just starts to turn brown.

**This is a family favorite.  I first had it when I was dating Jim and I went to his house where his mom fixed it for dinner.  Later I found out that the recipe came from a family friend who is also the wife of the family dentist.  The kids LOVE it!  To be honest, it always tastes better when Jim makes it.
