Hunk of Meat Monday: Game Time Favorites

It's not a secret that I am not from Indiana, but I can't help to be catching basketball fever. Not that I needed much coaxing, but I did need some coaching to pull for an Indiana team. As it has been said, "Welcome to Indiana basketball." Can you name that movie??? We are definitely pulling for Butler over UCONN in the NCAA championship game at our house. And we are definitely going to be eating well while we watch!

To fully enjoy good basketball, good food is in order. Last week, I had some great people link up some tasty recipes that I am highly recommending for game night.

Jill over at Boys, Bovines, & Blessings has a fantastic Pepsi Pork Chop recipe. I managed to pull this off for a post soccer game this weekend by setting the crock pot on high and cooking for four hours. I added some mashed potatoes to the plate, and the kids were scraping their plates clean. 

Ethne over at WOM: MOM made a "can eat in one sitting" ham dip that is also a must make. It is a five ingredient or less recipe which always means keeper. I added 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to her recipe. Mainly because I am a little obsessed with the stuff.

And finally, anyone who loves jalapeño poppers has to try Desi's, from Steak N Potatoes Kinda Girl, poppers. My husband is going to be excited to be seeing these come out of the oven tomorrow night!

Now, many of you have seen my freezer ham sammies, and do I have the slider version for you this week at Hunk of Meat Monday.
