The Kansas City Chiefs are in the Super Bowl for the 5th time this year, making it their 3rd Super Bowl in the past four years. Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes is hoping to be the first player since 1999 to win both the MVP award and the Super Bowl in the same year. Mahomes lead the league in passing yards with over 5,000 to his credit. He threw 41 touchdowns, as well as rushing for 354 yards and making 4 touchdowns himself. The Chiefs finished their year as the NFL’s best offense, leading the league in both yards and points. Super Bowl LVII promises to be a good competition between two well rounded and evenly matched teams.
For their 4th Bowl game in 2021, I featured a ground meat, cabbage, and onion filled yeast roll called a German Bierock for Chiefs fans. It is a common food item in the Kansas City area, but BBQ is KC’s claim to fame. For this Super Bowl appearance, I’m sharing some BBQ pork sloppy joe sliders for Chiefs fans. Enjoy!
