Op-Ed: Two Can’t-Miss Super Bowl Recipes

By Kiran Aditham 

Our Super Bowl-related submissions continue to roll in, and today, we hear from Brunner ECD-content Rob Schapiro, who indulges us with his own ideal blend for the big game festivities.

Everybody’s looking for good Super Bowl recipes, so here are a couple you might try. The first one below uses a hodgepodge of ingredients that can’t miss if you’re lucky enough to get a shot at a Super Bowl commercial for next year. The second one is my mom’s, who lived in El Paso for 60 years and knows how to make a mean chile con queso.
