Every year, Dad and I have a Super Bowl Party. It’s a joke. It’s just me and Dad. I make hot wings and some other game-day food. This year, I made a bean dip, Bacon Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls, and hot wings. The food was good but all I wanted to do was eat and eat and eat some more. Ugh.

About the Super Bowl…I am not a football fan at all. I despise football. I don’t care who wins or who loses. I always take a side though, just for shits and giggles. This year, I chose The Eagles. Yeah, I know. The Chiefs are closer to home but what does that matter? Maybe The Chiefs need to be knocked down a notch or two. Too big for their britches, you might say. So, I chose The Eagles. We know how that game turned out! 22-40 Eagles! Anyway, I didn’t really watch the game. I only watched while we were having our hot wings. In the past, I have only watched for the commercials but somehow in the past few years, the funny or at least amusing commercials have declined. It’s no longer fun to watch.

Anyway, I thought I might share a recipe since I haven’t done that in quite some time. I hope you like it!

Bacon Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
8 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 jalapenos, seeds removed and chopped
1 tsp. garlic powder
10 egg roll wrappers (I used more than 10)
Oil, for frying
Ranch, or other dipping sauce

Mix all ingredients until well combined. Working with one wrapper at a time, place a spoonful or two of the jalapeno mixture onto the center of each wrapper. You decide the thickness of your egg rolls. You will get more egg rolls if you use less of the cheese mixture in each roll.

To roll, lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold up the bottom corner of the wrapper to cover the filling. Then fold in the right and left corners to the center, pressing lightly to seal. Roll the wrapper tightly until the filling is completely enclosed and the edges are sealed. Fry in hot oil, watching carefully to prevent burning. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce of your choice.

Well, that’s all for today, friends. Have a great week!
