It’s that time – FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!!! We all know my love for football and we cannot wait to host all of the people at our house for gamedays. So figured I’d share some of our favorites, I might make another post with more but figured I’d share some now with you guys in case you need some ideas for snacks & food! Most of these are SUPER easy and are major crowd pleasers. I also want to let you know, they are by no means healthy..haha.
GAMEDAY MEATBALLS
I know everyone makes these their way but they are so easy and there’s never hardly anything left! Few ingredients and so good!
- Frozen Meatballs (1 Bag)
- Grape Jelly (1 Jar)
- Heinz Chili Sauce (2 Bottles)
Dump all of the ingredients in the crockpot and turn on low for a few hours. Enjoy!
MEXICORN DIP
Not actually sure what the name of this is, but it’s good and I always get asked for the recipe and it’s so dang simple. We never have any leftover.
- Sour Cream (16 oz)
- Mexicorn (1 can) – drained
- Rotel (1 can) – drained
- Mexican Shredded Cheese (1 Small Bag)
- Ranch Seasoning Packet
- Taco Seasoning Packet
- Tony’s or Slap Ya Mama (Optional)
Mix all of the ingredients togethers and serve with chips! We usually bring fritos and ruffles, you could also do tostitos or whatever you like. Also, the longer this dip sits the better, I personally always make it the day before but you can serve immediately after making.
PINWHEELS
This is another one that everyone makes their own way and it’s easy. I know I sound like I broken record but they’re always gone!
- Tortillas
- Cream Cheese (Softened)
- Chopped Black Olives
- Green Chiles
- Picante Salsa
- Seasoning (Optional)
Mix cream cheese, black olives and green chiles together. Spread onto tortillas, refrigerate for a bit. Slice and serve with Picante sauce!
CHICKEN DIP
As all of the previous recipes, it’s easy and a crowd pleaser!
- Canned Chicken (2 cans)
- Cream Cheese (2 blocks)
- Shredded Cheese (1 small bag)
- Mayo (2 tablespoons)
- Sour Cream (1 tablesppon)
- Chili Powder
- Garlic Powder
- Cajun Seasoning
- Ranch Seasoning
- Paprika
- Salt & Pepper
Mix everything together, add extra cheese on top and bake on 350 until it get’s bubbly (usually 45ish minutes). Serve with chips or crackers.
BOUDAIN DIP
If you like boudin, you’ll love this!
- Fresh Jalapenos (Optional)
- Boudin (Of Choice)
- Shredded Cheese (1 small bag – we usually use whatever we have on hand)
- Cream Cheese (1/2 – 1 block)
- Sour Cream (Optional – 1/3 cup)
- BBQ Rub
- Cajun Seasoning
- Chives (Optional)
I put optional on a few because we have made ours a few different ways. Mix everything together, add some cheese on top and either cook in the oven on 400 until bubbly or throw it on the smoker until bubbly! We smoke ours and it’s so good! Serve with chips or crackers and enjoy!
These are just a few of ones that us and our friends LOVE! If you enjoy these or want other options then let me know! I know they aren’t healthy but they’re so good and simple. Plus, everyone will love them if you bring these to a party or host!
What’s your go-to when you go to a party or host?
