Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

A bacon corn dog would have been delicious. A jalapeno corn dog would also have been delicious. But why settle when you can have a Bacon Jalapeno Corn Dog? 

They don't call them funnel cakes for nothing. Get out your kitchen funnel and let's fry some dough. If you don't have a funnel, that's ok. You can use a piping cake or a plastic freezer bag with the corner snipped off.

We love that we can make this in one big batch using a bag of frozen crinkle fries and Hy-Vee Hickory brisket. 

Not just the coins, we're frying them by the spear. 

We might be biased, but State Fair Pork Tenderloins are the best state fair food. Did you know more than 90,000 servings of pork are sold at the Iowa State Fair? 

Don't knock it til you try it. You just might love the salty-sweet situation that happens when you dip crispy bacon in melted chocolate. 

If you make these for dinner, you'll see why we gave them a blue ribbon. They've got all the flavor and texture of a saucy ooey-gooey pizza and are actually pretty simple to make. 

Because you can't talk about state fair food without the over-the-top novelty desserts, such as a grilled donut ice cream sandwich with all your favorite mix-ins.

All you need are juice, agave, and ice. Then this childhood favorite can be all yours. 

For those days when you just need something fried, it doesn't get much better than this.

When you're craving a classic, make this the go-to. With the help of Hy-Vee pancake mix, you only need five ingredients.

If you have mini waffles in the freezer, you can use those, but we actually prepared a can of biscuit dough in the waffle maker to make these chicken-biscuit bites. 

If you find yourself with leftover mac n cheese, remember this recipe. You really only need bread crumbs, an egg, some milk, and of course, frying oil. 

It's not what you think. Unless you were thinking about shredded rotisserie chicken, cheese, and buffalo sauce stuffed inside a wonton wrapper and deep fried.

Remember when we said that Deep Fried Beer Battered Cheese Curds were the best thing ever? We may have forgotten about these. 

It doesn't get any simpler than this. These little mini pies only require 4 ingredients.

Who can resist this iconic fair food? Especially when it's rolled in crushed chips.

Here's an idea: Instead of using a hot dog to make corn dogs, use a brat. Hy-Vee has a variety of flavored brats in the meat case, both skinless and skin-on.  

Don't let summer slip away without a homemade batch of sweet-tart lemonade to sip on. 

Fries are always a good choice for sharing, but ... these are just too good. 

Imagine a ricotta and mascarpone-stuffed cannoli dipped in chocolate chips and dusted with powdered sugar. Now imagine this: Instead of the cannoli shell, there's crispy bacon.
