Throw an MVP: Most Valuable Party
Provided by Kraft Foods
These fun football ideas will score at your MVP!
Contain Your Excitement!
Turn over a football helmet and line with foil and napkins. Place smaller bowl of dip inside. Use napkins to make a padded base on the table to keep helmet in place.
Show Your Colors
Set the table with team spirit for the big game.
- Use team colors for napkins, plastic utensils and plates.
- Wrap place settings with "coach's" whistles or small team pennants.
Get Down to Buffet Business
Let people serve themselves during breaks and halftime with a buffet table:
- Keep party food warm by placing hot dishes (covered) in a low 200°F oven. Replenish the buffet table as needed.
- Make simple paper pennants to direct fans to the food. "Pre-Game" or "First Down" could be appetizers, "Half Time" could be entrees and "Third Quarter" is a great time for sweets.
Feeding a Crowd
Expecting a crowd? For an easy entrée, build an oversize sub or two:
- Start by cutting a large loaf of Italian bread in half lengthwise, then spread the cut sides with KRAFT Mayo Real Mayonnaise.
- Layer the bottom half of the bread with your favorite OSCAR MAYER Sliced Meats, KRAFT Cheese Slices and other sandwich toppings; cover with top half of bread.
- Cut the sandwich into slices before the crowd descends and you can sail smoothly through the party.
Make-Ahead Spread
Hot spreads and dips can be assembled, covered and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
- Bake them just before guests arrive so they're hot out of the oven at party time.
- Note that you may need to increase the baking time by 5 to 10 min. to ensure that the spread is heated through.
