We are smack dab in the middle of one of my favorite times of the year – college football/tailgating season! I love the energy and excitement that college football brings and love even more the amazing food that people serve at tailgates – hah! The best part of tailgating food is the selection – appetizers are my favorite and it has to be the best food group. Pinterest is making it so easy to collect really great recipes, so here are my current favorites and all are ones that I can’t wait to try this football season!
Pepperoni Pizza Bites. Who doesn’t love pizza and even better, who doesn’t love it in bite-size form? I would love to try and add some ingredients to these – maybe supreme pizza bites?
Loaded baked potato dip. Loaded french fries are the biggest and best guilty pleasure. Getting this in a dip form has to be heaven on Earth!
Grilled bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers with vintage cheddar. Conner and I have made poppers before but I am intrigued by the fancy cheese aspect to this recipe. I love cheese and can’t wait to see if the nicer cheese makes this food even better!
Ham and cheese bites. Another favorite – ham and cheese, but now in tiny little bite size with a delicious looking dipping sauce!
Mini corn dogs. You had me at hello. College football and the fair go hand in hand. The fair automatically screams corn dog and now you can enjoy them at home, without the hassle of biting them off of the stick!
Cold, creamy Parmesan spinach dip. I love spinach and artichoke dips and this one is supposed to be healthy. I’m always skeptical about how healthy foods like this really are but I am willing to take one for the team and try this out. I like a nice cold appetizer option as well, the pressure of keeping everything warm is overwhelming!
Have you tried any of these? If you have, leave a comment and let me know your favorite(s)!
Wow that loaded potato dip looks absolutely heavenly!
umm yes please! I've got to try those pizza bites! or the loaded baked potato dip… or the jalapenos… dang how will I choose?!
YUMMM! I will be trying one or more of these this weekend! If you want another simple dip option, check out "sin dip" on my food pinterest board. You do have to heat it, but we snacked on it all night well past it being "warm." It was heeeaaaavenly!
I don't think there is any way to choose the best one – you just have to make them all! Hah!Thanks Stephanie, I'll check out your dip!
