What can I make to bring to a Super Bowl party that will impress people? It has to travel 1 1/2 hours though?

We were invited to our first Super Bowl party away from home. The people who are there think I'm a ditzy young mom who doesn't know how to cook, etc. Yes, I am young (21), but I also have more education than they do... and less experience with cooking (they hear my husband's funny stories about me, such as when I stopped by the worksite one day to drop lunch off for all the guys, and I asked them what they do when the air compressor runs out of air...)

I want to make something that can travel easy in the car. Minor finishing can be done at the house I'm going to. I am open to pretty much anything, and my skill level I would say is Average/Above Average. I've been cooking since I was 9-ish, but I can't really improvise, I follow recipes closely.

    Barb-E-Que cups (this is double recipe)

    2 lbs. ground beef

    1 cup BBQ sauce (I prefer sweet baby rays)

    2 medium onion, diced, and sauted (in butter in a skillet)

    4 T brown sugar

    2 8oz. can butter biscuits

    Shredded cheddar cheese (bag will do)

    Brown the beef and onions in seperate skillets. Mix together. Add BBQ sauce, brown sugar. Press the biscuits up the sides of a cupcake pan. Spoon in meat mixture. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

    (I dont usually measure my ingredients I just do what looks right- if that makes sense)

    I have made these for parties before and ppl love them. They are also very easy to make but most ppl do not know that.

    Hmm, tough call, because I doubt whether anybody at a SuperBowl party is going to be impressed overly by catering. They are going to be into beer, finger foods and football.

    Why not impress on the beer front? Go out of your way to find some American microbrew beer that is really delicious. Once somebody tries a Brooklyn Lager, they will never drink Bud again. Beer always travels well. If there's a good beer store near your home, you could put together a 12-pack of different quality brews and make a name for yourself that way. Check out http://www.theunob.com/ for ideas.

    You could also arrange entertainment. I found this site yesterday which offers printable football trivia games. You may not know anything about football, but the guys will get a kick out of the games and appreciate your gesture for thinking of them. http://www.python-printable-games.com/super-bowl-t...

    A seven-layer dip would be good. Everyone will love it, especially the men. I use a pre-made guacamole in mine, usually found in the salad or salad-dressing section. The guacamole doesn't have to be homemade in this case; since it is just one ingredient. There are a lot of recipes, but the one I like best puts the taco seasoning into the sour cream. You can carry it in a cooler with some ice.
