Rachael Ray Show
The title may be long, but this elegant appetizer is extraordinarily simple, and packed with flavor. Just toast some sliced baguette with olive oil, then layer prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes above.
Tip: Slow-roast your own tomatoes instead of buying sun-dried tomatoes. Click to the recipe for details.

This isn’t your typical guac! Rach grills all the ingredients to add a smoky flavor.
Chipotle Chicken Nacho Casserole
Rachael Ray Show
Who doesn’t love nachos? Rachael “tiles” her chips, smoky chipotle chicken, and cheese so that the ingredients are well distributed, heats, and then tops with salsa, jalapenos and sour cream. Nothing wrong with any of that!
Tip: Make your life easier and give yourself more time to watch the games by using a pre-cooked supermarket rotisserie chicken!
