7 Winning Tailgating Recipes

Potato skins are a tailgating must. The triumvirate of potato, bacon and cheese can’t be beat. This ranched-up version is guaranteed to win even if your team doesn’t.

Kick things up a notch with these sweet and spicy wings, perfect for snacking before the big game. Just don’t forget your napkins!

It’s always a good idea to have a batch of this at the ready, because no game-time bevvie break is complete without it. You can make it your own with whatever snackables you have around the house.

This recipe ups the ante on your standard popper recipe with our Smokehouse Cheddar & Bacon mix. Tip: All that smoky flavor goes great with some barbecue sauce for dipping.

If you want to expand your horizons beyond the burger, give these Italian-style meatball sliders a shot.

If you’re looking for a real crowd-pleaser, this is it. The dip is delectably cheesy, and the homemade pretzels are so good, people will assume you spent hours laboring in the kitchen. (Your secret is safe with us!)

Want to make things a little less messy on the wing front? Turn that iconic game day buffalo flavor into a dip that’s great with chips, crackers or celery sticks.
