We missed the NCAA College Basketball Tournament and the NBA has been paused, thanks to COVID-19 (the coronavirus). So, we’re stuck at home, watching our favorite basketball replays and moments from the past.
Luckily, we can add to our fan atmosphere at home by cooking up some tasty basketball recipes. Why make generic recipes when you can customize your food to match the basketball court!
To start, try these Turkey & Cheese Basketball Sliders.
Ingredients:
12 small frozen dinner rolls
orange food coloring spray
liquid black food coloring
12 slices Boar’s Head Brand Blackened Turkey Breast
12 slices Boar’s Head Brand Boar’s Head Provolone Cheese
1 cup caramelized onions
1 cup roasted red peppers, julienned
¼ cup Boar’s Head Brand Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise®
Directions:
Line baking sheet with non-stick tin foil or spray with non-stick spray. Set rolls 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Spray one piece of plastic wrap with non-stick spray and set over frozen rolls. Allow to sit at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove plastic wrap and spray rolls with orange food coloring. Use a fine tip paint brush (new or food use only) to paint basketball lines on each roll using black food coloring.
Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Cut open dinner rolls and place both halves cut side up on baking sheet. On bottom half arrange one slice of Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, one slice of Provolone cheese, and heaping tablespoon of both caramelized onions and roasted red peppers.
Heat sliders in a 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Smear Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise on the top side of dinner roll and set on top of sandwich. Serve hot.
If you’re getting out of the house for a picnic (at a safe, social distance, of course), consider taking your food in this fashionable Oklahoma State Cowboys Cooler Bag Tote!
