Recipe of the Week

This week I will be posting 2 recipes since I forgot about last week's. Oops!

It's football season and I love it!!! My son plays middle school football, our high school team is 3-0 and I go to every game I can. The TN Titans and UT Vols are our teams around here! So I thought I would share a few good football food recipes.

Swiss & Rye Bites

2.8 oz. can French fried onions, crushed

3/4 c. bacon, cpisply cooked and crumbled

1/2 c. mayonnaise

3 c. shredded Swiss cheese

14 oz. jar pizza sauce

1 loaf sliced party rye

Combine onions, bacon, mayonnaise and cheese in a large bowl. Spread one teaspoon pizza sauce on each slice of bread; top with one tablespoon cheese mixture. Arrange on an ungreaded baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted. Serves 6. (Okay I could eat 6 by myself, so double or triple the recipe for a big crowd!)
