Fresh Brews: Coffee Recipes For The Superbowl
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about today’s big game! I have a feeling that it’s going to be a great game that’s going to go down to the final seconds. There should be lots of television ads that make us laugh and some that make us wonder what were they thinking when they paid millions of dollars to run that.
Just as important as the teams playing and the commercials is the food. This week’s roundup is full of coffee influenced foods and drinks that would be perfect for enjoying during the Superbowl.
Coffee Beer – Favorite coffee stouts and coffee porters
I’ll admit, I’ll probably have a beer or two during the game, I’d love to try a coffee flavored beer or a beer made with coffee.
Espresso Stout
Or maybe I’ll brew your own coffee beer. However, I probably should’ve started working on this project before the day of the game, but I’ll remember this one for future reference.
The Best Chili You Will Ever Taste
My partner in crime, Jen from Stiletto Sports pointed out this recipe. It includes three of my favorite things – coffee, beer and chili! That’s really all I need.
Coffee Burgers
Besides chili, there’s one other food that I think when I hear football. That’s burgers and being a serious coffee addict, normal burgers just don’t do it for me. Check out this delicious recipe that I first tried for last year’s 4th Of July.
Caffeinated London Broil
Maybe you’re in the mood to grill some steaks instead? Check out this London Broil recipe that’s guaranteed to satisfy even the hungriest football fans.
Italian Choco-Coffee Wedding Cookies
For desert, check out these delicious chocolate-coffee cookies. They’re delicious year round, but make them Superbowl worthy by shaping them like a football.
Who are you rooting for and more importantly what are you eating during the game?

I gotta say that these all sound very interesting. Not sure if I’m brave enough to try any of these yet LOL

Most of them you really can’t taste the coffee flavor too much, be brave and try a couple!
Give it 14 days and maybe I will

Actually the coffee burgers were served by Cookie in the Navy mess when I was in during the 80′s.
I thought that was the only time I would ever see or hear of that particular combination again, but here it is.
And, to dedicate the dish for the 4th is even more appropriate.

Whoa… CRAZY!!!
That recipe ‘The Best Chili You Will Ever Taste’ was downloaded by my wife from recipezaar.com a few years back, and has gone on to become my signature dish that i make for all our very special friends. It truly is the most amazing dish on the planet! I can not get enough of it.
Like Mike said, “It includes three of my favorite things – coffee, beer and chili! That’s really all I need.” – Let me add a fourth – MEAT!!!
Over the years, I’ve tweaked the recipe a bit, as you do (and I’m taking these changes to my grave, thank you very much!)
Oh, OK… I’ll give you a few tips -
1/ Caramelize the onions. This should take at least half an hour to do properly. It adds a little more sweetness to things.
2/ Use Guinness or similar stout. I use one BIG can or two smaller bottles.
3/ Here’s the important part – Cook with first half of kidney beans, then let sit overnight in fridge. Next day, bring back to simmer, then add second half of beans, and again put back in fridge overnight. EAT ON 3RD DAY – or later… If you can wait! Leaving it a few days lets all the complex flavors really come together.
4/ I serve in individual ramekins topped with mashed Agria potatoes, add a little grated tasty cheese and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, then pop under grill!
JUST AMAZING!!!! Best winter comfort food of all time.
Oh, nearly forgot this was a ‘coffee blog’ – If you can, use two shots of good espresso for the coffee part of recipe. It doesn’t really add much of a strong coffee flavor, more just rounds things out…
Please go and make this recipe, then drop me a line and tell me how it went!
I’m going to try your version the next time I make chili!
