Prosciutto Cheese Bites

Football season is upon us, and you need the perfect easy, delicious recipe to make this Sunday. Tired of the same old snacks and looking for something new and exciting? For easy-to-make, savory finger food, look no further than these prosciutto cheese bites.

While you’re enjoying the cooler weather and the big game, soybean farmers are spending this time of year out in the fields for harvest. More than 230 million bushels of soybeans are harvested each fall in South Dakota. That’s about 13.8 billion pounds of soybeans. Those soybeans go on to produce things like the protein-packed animal feed that feeds the dairy cattle that produce the milk that goes into the cheese in this unforgettable treat. They even go back into the football field itself. The turf at the Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Complex at South Dakota State University is made from a soy-based product.
