Cooking Tip for making your own football cutter shape
Use an empty frosting container. Just cut the top and bottom off and flatten it. When it pops back up you'll have a perfect football! If you don't have a frosting container, try a soda can, juice bottle, or a disposable plastic cup.
FOOTBALL BITES (WITH SUMMER SAUSAGE, CHEDDAR & RANCH)
Cook's Notes: Looking for a fun little treat to serve for game day? Consider this snack ready in 10 minutes. If you are lucky to have a football cookie cutter maybe even in less time.
Ingredients:
Favorite crackers (I used TownHouse because of their size/shape)
Summer sausage, sliced thin (about 1/8" thick)
Block of cheddar cheese, sliced very thin (about 1/8" thick)
Ranch dressing
Prep Tools:
1 small, rinsed-out aluminum can (like from green chiles), or a small round cookie cutter
1 ziplock bag, or frosting bag
Directions:
On a sturdy cutting board, use the aluminum can (or cookie cutter) to shape the cheddar and summer sausage pieces into individual "football" shapes. (See photo above.) Then assemble the football "bites", by layering cheddar and summer sausage atop the crackers.
Finally, pour some ranch dressing into a Ziplock bag, and then use scissors to snip a very small triangle from one of the bottom corners. Pipe the dressing onto the cheddar to complete the football bites.

While I don't intend to get creative in my food prep for Sunday's game, I appreciate all those creative types out there. I think I'll just make a bowl of chili.
