Game Day Food

We got home just in time for me to make some yummy food for the big game!  We settled on nachos and Philly cheese steaks.  However, I has just eaten way more bread than I care to admit the night before at dinner.  So, to try to reduce the carbs we had cheese steaks without the hoagie roll.  We also got the "reduced guilt" chips from Trader Joe's.  They are still tortilla chips, but it tell me I should not feel so guilty for eating them, so naturally I believe it :)  We may have also had some Maker's Mark to complete our game day experience, but you can omit that hehe.

Serving Sizes:

Nachos: 2 if really hungry, otherwise 4 to 6

Philly Cheese Steaks: 2 

Nachos:

1 package ground turkey 

1 red onion (can reduce if you do not like onion as much as we do)

1 orange pepper (or color of your choice)

1 tbsp taco seasoning (Make your own! Omit the salt)

2 jalapenos 

1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)

1 bag tortilla chips (10 oz)

1/2 package Lite Mexican cheese

Cook ground turkey on medium low and add taco seasoning.  Drain grease from turkey.  While turkey is cooking cut up pepper, onion and prepare other ingredients.  Make sure to wear gloves or something over your hand when cutting jalapeno!  Burning fingers are not fun!  Set oven to broil.  Put foil or parchment paper on cookie sheet.  Lay chips and 1/3 of rest of ingredients.  Repeat twice to use all ingredients.  Put nachos in oven for about 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.

Philly Cheese Steak:

Above is the link that was my inspiration

1 large pepper (I chose yellow because we did not have green available) 

1 medium onion 

EVOO

12 oz flank steak

4 slices Provolone cheese

Worcestershire Sauce

Garlic Powder

Seasoning Salt

Pepper

Heat oven to broil.  Place steak on baking sheet lined with foil and apply last four ingredients.  Broil for 4 to 5 minutes.  Remove from oven, flip and repeat with last four ingredients.  Let it cool for a few minutes and then slice into thin strips.  Reserve juices.

While steak is in oven, coat pan with EVOO and saute pepper and onion.  Add the reserved juices to the pain and then the steak.  Lay cheese slices over the top of the mixture, reduce heat and cover with lid.  

Dig in once cheese is melted!!!
