Beer Battered Beer Meatballs with Mustard Sauce
Who do you predict to win the Super Bowl this year- Giants? Patriots? Honestly, I find that this year is a bit hard to predict since fans didn’t believe that they would have to choose between the Giants and the Patriots as the winning team. Super Bowl Sunday is a time for partying. 
The fans will be yelling at the screen while the non-fans will find reason to party with pals. Everyone loves to have football parties and food and drink play an immense role in the success of the party.
Most menus include the super bowl regulars such as chicken fingers, Buffalo wings, nachos ’n cheese, dips, mini sandwiches, etc. You want to add things to your menu that will give your patrons reason to choose your place to party at over your competitors.
What’s any party without beer? How about adding beer into your finger foods? After all, football= meat and beer. These beer battered dipped meatballs are guaranteed to disappear quite quickly and give die hard football fans and non-fans reason to head to your place over your competitor for the next football party, not to mention all the days in between. ...continue reading
Beer and Onion Beef Stew
Why beer? Beer is an excellent tenderizer when it comes to tough meat. As for batters, the yeast in the beer causes it to fluff up. Beer also gives the beef a slightly bitter, while at the same time somewhat of a sweet taste. The slight bitterness from the beer combined with sautéed onions blend extremely well together. When you have a good flavor combination, you don’t have to bother with a long list of ingredients.
Ingredients:
2 lb beef stew meat
Salt
Black pepper
Paprika
2 Tablespoons oil
2-3 large onions, cut into wedges
12oz. light beer
1 bay leaf
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons vinegar

The choice is yours. The following are some helpful tips that will help you make the best of your tailgate party.
6. If you choose to tailgate at the game, the last thing you want to forget is your cooler. Fill it up with frozen water bottles in place of ice to save yourself from bringing extra packages. A cold drink of water will always come in handy.
5. Do as much preparation as possible prior to the tailgate party. This will allow you to enjoy the party to the fullest, rather than having to stand over the food and worry about everything running smoothly while the party and game are on.
4. Just about everyone will agree that the worst part of throwing a party is cleaning up. Make use of as many disposable items as possible, such as containers, plates, bowls, cutlery, etc. It will save you a nice amount of time once the party dies down.
3. Make sure to have enough food to go around. You want people to keep coming back to your tailgate party, game after game. You’re better off being left with loads of leftovers than not having what to feed your guests. Leftovers can always be frozen and defrosted for later use. ...continue reading
