Da Bears Menu

Last Monday my husband and I hosted 15 of our friends for a night of da Bears and chili.  Since one of my friends is pregnant, another is breastfeeding, and another can't eat pork, I made two sets of chili so no one would go hungry. Here's what was served:

7 Layer Dip (by the Pioneer Woman) to start:


Giada's Chicken Chili: 


Beef and Chorizo Chili: 
***I substitute ground round for stew meat


Mac N' Cheese with Pancetta: a true crowd pleaser
(I add a few dashes of nutmeg)


Ina's Corn Muffins: equally delicious
(I add a 1/2 cup of drained sweet yellow corn to the batter)


Dessert: 

Sweet Mandy B's Cupcakes:


Lucky for me, the Bears won and the food was a hit so it was a good night had by all.
