Game food porn, Can't Believe We Lost That Game edition

Packers spotted the Bengals two touchdowns, slowly got it all back, went up by 16 points and finally managed to lose the game. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. But the food was good. We did a couple really simple things this week, starting with pigs in a blanket. For this, you need only two things: cocktail wieners and a can of biscuits. I guess it's called a can. I don't know. Any way, 10 biscuits. I used Hillshire Farms Bee Lit'l Smokies, but you can use any cocktail wiener you want. Carolina Pride is good, too. Just throw some wiener, dammit:


Take your biscuits, and tear each biscuit into three pieces -- two each of equal size, something less than half, and a third piece that is not one-third of the biscuit. Something more like three-eighths twice, and one-fourth once. You combine the little piece from every two biscuits so that you get five pieces of dough from every two biscuits. Get it?


Once you have done that to all ten biscuits -- which means you will wind up with 25 pieces of dough -- take a piece of dough and stretch it out to get it ready to wrap around a wiener:


Then wrap it around a wiener.

Do that 24 more times.


You will cook these at 400 degrees for about 13 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.


Serve these with mustard. Simple, but really good.

The other simple-but-good game food we did today was pizza rolls. Again, you will need few ingredients, just some pepperoni, some mozzarella cheese (shredded), some sliced provolone cheese (not pictured because I forgot) and a refrigerated pizza crust dough (is that at can of dough?):


Grease a cookie sheet, unroll the pizza dough, then stretch it out a bit so it is no longer square, like so:

Slap on some slices of provolone cheese:


Layer that with pepperoni:


You will then spread some shredded mozzarella on top of that, keeping everything about a half-inch from the edges. For some reason, I forgot to take a picture of the mozzarella phase. Anyway, once the shredded mozzarella is on, roll that sucker up. Seal the edges with a fork, like so

It should look like this right before you put it in a 350-degree oven for 35 minutes.


Once that sucker comes out, it looks a lot like this:
 

Slice it like bread, put some marinara sauce in a bowl and serve. It's really good.


Naturally, we also had potato skins:


Soon-to-be Mrs. Cpl. Wolves came by, so of course we had a vegetable tray:


And yes, hidden under the dip container is a Green Bay G:


All in all, the spread was tasty:


Ultimately, no lie, the food was better than the game, certainly as far as the outcome goes. But it's a long season. Many more games, and much more food porn, to come. Enjoy!
