Gather your friends, huddle around the television, it’s time for some tasty Super Bowl snacks. Can you hear the cheers already? I am never sure if the cheers are for the Super Bowl food or the game!

Are you a game lover or a snack lover? I bet you can guess what I am! I love Super Bowl Sunday because no matter if your team wins or loses you can prepare winning snacks! This year, I thought I'd provide one filling, Salsa Verde Aussie Grassfed Ground Beef Filling, and then you can decide what snack to make. You see, I have a master sauce that I am known for, A Merry Recipe Salsa Verde. The salsa is all fresh except for a charred poblano pepper. The salsa isn't too spicy and the tomatillos give perfect acid. Please report back to me and let me know what appetizer you chose to make!

The filling can be used for: egg rolls, burritos, chimichangas, filled pasta shells. Empanadas, scrambled eggs, potato skin topping, tacos, dip with tortilla chips, nachos, pizza topping, to name a few!!!
