Game day is different this year. Most fans cannot gather in the parking lot before the game to enjoy food (and some friendly trash talk) with friends and family. Even though watching the team in person may not be an option for everyone, we can still cheer them on from home – and enjoy ALL the food. Tailgating at home may be out of the norm… but if you try one of these 20 game day recipes it’ll be super tasty.
Anytime Tailgate Sandwiches
"These little gems are irresistible!!! An absolute must for any tailgate party, outdoor or indoor! We often enjoy these with a cup of soup for dinner." - Kendra
Sweet & Sassy Wing Sauce
"For years I've been eating my fried chicken with honey and hot sauce. One day it occurred to me that the combination would be fantastic on wings." - Staci
Touchdown Sammies
"This recipe is so simple and tasty and lets you enjoy the game instead of being chained to the kitchen. Take this recipe and make it your own... you can do sliders or onion buns (my preference) or sourdough bread... it is excellent on rye buns." - Mary Kay
Pizza Quesadillas (aka Pizzadillas)
"All of the flavours of a pizza all wrapped up in quesadilla form and topped with even more pizza toppings!" - Kevin
Game Day Stuffed Crescent Rolls
"These are so simple but packed with flavor. My family loves when I make these on game day!" - Dee Guelcher
Game Day Beer Pretzchos
"If you're a fan of German beer, then you will love this beer cheese sauce drizzled over soft baked pretzels. There's a light mustard flavor that goes perfectly with the soft pretzels. It's like being at a football stadium and combining your favorite snacks." - The Kitchen Crew
Sausage and Cheese Cups
"Easy and totally cheesy Sausage & Cheese Cups (Sausage Stars) are delicious for the big game! These little wonton cups are filled with sausage, cheese, and yumminess!" - Paula
5 Layer Cream Cheese Chili Dip
"A few years ago my husband and I would have his cousin and wife come over to play spades at our apartment. I would always make this dip as an appetizer, but we almost never actually ate dinner we always polished the dip off and that was our meal." - Samantha
Pepperoni Bread Roll
"Looking for something to do today so I decided to poke around in the kitchen to see what I had on hand. Made this from scratch for the kids' brunch. Turned out really yummy. (No yeast). Add some marinara dip on the side and enjoy!" - Christine
Mexican Corn Dip
"This is one of my very favorite dips. It's kind of addicting! Every time I take it somewhere, I am asked for the recipe. It's a little hot, but I don't think it is near as good without that little spicy bite." - Connie
Super Duper Easy Fried Ravioli
"It is so easy but tastes like you slaved all day in the kitchen. A very nice finger food for any party." - Dana
Tailgating Tasty Tartlets
"These Tailgating Tasty Tartlets are spicy, cheesy and full of goodness. They are just perfect for snacking while watching football." - Debbi
Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
"Low carb - easy to make by baking and the best wings ever!" - Paula
Susie's Pretzel Dogs
"They are easy to make and taste so good. They freeze well too!" - Sue
Cincinnati Chili
"This is not your typical Tex Mex chili. They do it differently in Ohio and this is pretty authentic Cincinnati chili. Adding cocoa, allspice, and cinnamon to typical chili spices sets this apart. It looks like your typical chili with meat and big chunks of onion, but after one bite you know the difference." - The Kitchen Crew
Jalapeno Popper Dip
"If you love the real jalapeno popper, you will love this." - Stacey
Game Day Cheese Dip
"If you have any leftover this is great on baked potatoes, fried eggs, hamburgers, or hot dogs. Whatever you might like. But in my house, it is gone an hour later." - Jamie
Bacon Double Cheese Burger Dip
"A hot cheesy baked dip with all of the flavours of a bacon double cheeseburger that makes for some great game day snacking!" - Kevin
Pepperoni Cheese Ball
"Another great cheese ball. Quick and easy to make and very tasty." - Mary Lee
