It is that time of year-football!! I have to be honest though, I don’t really follow it much. I do know that our home team, the Broncos, lost last weekend. And that is all I know about this football season.  {Sad, I know}

However I know a lot more about food than I do football. So, lucky for you I have a great appetizer sure to please any football watching crowd.

Fried Ravioli

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil

1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 tsp. garlic powder

dash of salt

2 eggs, beaten

1 (25 oz) package frozen cheese  ravioli, thawed

Directions:

Pour oil into a large Dutch oven to the depth of 1 inch.  Heat over medium-high heat.

Combine bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder and salt in a shallow dish.  {A pie plate works great}  Dip ravioli in beaten eggs; dredge in bread crumbs, shaking off excess.  Fry ravioli, about 10 at a time {do not overcrowd the pan} 20-30 seconds or until golden.  Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.  Continue with remaining ravioli.  Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
