Ingredients
Scale
Meats and Main Items
- 64 Hebrew National Beef Franks in Puff Pastry Blanket (two packages, 32 count each)
- Buffalo wings (approximately 24 pieces)
- Potato skins (ready-to-eat, about 12 pieces)
- Mozzarella sticks (approximately 12 pieces)
- Fried pickles (about 1 cup)
Fresh Produce
- 2 Green apples, washed and sliced
- 1 cup Sugar snap peas, washed
- 1 cup Pickles, sliced
- 3 Celery stalks, washed and sliced
- 2 Kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 English cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup Green grapes, washed
Dips and Condiments
- Guacamole (approximately 1 cup)
- Ranch dressing (approximately 1 cup)
- Mustard (for football laces, about 2 tablespoons)
- Tortilla chips (about 3 cups)
Instructions
- Cook the main items: Prepare the pigs in a blanket according to the package directions, typically baking them in the oven until golden and cooked through. Simultaneously, prepare your favorite buffalo wings by baking or frying until fully cooked and crispy.
- Prepare fresh produce: While the meats cook, wash and slice green apples, celery, kiwi, and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces for easy access on the board.
- Arrange pigs in a blanket: On a large serving board, place the cooked pigs in a blanket in the center arranging them in the shape of a football. Layer more pigs in a blanket to fill the shape completely and create a well-defined football outline.
- Create football laces: Using mustard, draw a line down the center of the pig in a blanket football shape and add short mustard dashes across the line to mimic the football laces.
- Build the football field: Fill the surrounding area around the football shape with green foods like celery, guacamole, sugar snap peas, green apples, cucumbers, and kiwi to resemble a football field.
- Add additional snacks: Position buffalo wings near the board for easy picking. Surround the field with bowls of ranch dressing, green grapes, tortilla chips, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, and fried pickles to provide a variety of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best presentation and texture.
- Adjust quantities of ingredients according to guest count and preferences.
- Chill guacamole and ranch dressing before serving for optimal taste.
- Warm pigs in a blanket and wings just before serving to keep them fresh and appetizing.
- For a vegetarian board, substitute the meats with plant-based alternatives and keep the fresh vegetables and dips.
