Tonight is the first KU-K-State basketball game of the year. Totally exciting, right? If you’re feeling like you might want to show your KU spirit with more than just some fancy chips, I’ve got a sweet option for you. Something that shows your love of the crimson and the blue, while tasting oh-so-good after some salty pizza or other game-time meal: this Simple Berry Crisp.

It’s easy, tasty and showcases the red and the blue well if you use a mix of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. The crimson and the blue, right there and ready to eat.

And if you’re a K-state fan living in Lawrence? I’m sure if you use only blueberries, you’ll get the effect you want. Not that that’s what I’ll be doing…

Simple Berry Crisp

6 cups frozen berries

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

2 cups granola

2 tablespoons melted butter

Vanilla yogurt or ice cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, gently toss together berries, sugar and flour then transfer to an ungreased (8-inch) baking dish; set aside.

In a medium bowl, toss together granola and butter then scatter over berries in dish. Bake until top is golden brown and berries and their juices are bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool then spoon into dishes and serve with yogurt or ice cream on top.
