Score a Touchdown With These Game Day Recipes

Passion, team pride, and bonding with fan-tastic friends are at the heart of game day gatherings. Football feasts, like the game, should have bold energy and no-holds-barred action; snacking and grazing, dipping, digging in, and sharing comprise the greatest game day recipes for a game day get-together.

So, pass the Texas-style loaded sheet pan nachos, gather around an extraordinary charcuterie board, and get ready to crunch and munch with generous snacks that will have your friends and family cheering for the home team — and YOU!

We've huddled together and planned your Xs and Os for crowd-pleasing, lip-smacking game day appetizers, mains and sides, drinks, and desserts to keep you filled up over the course of the regular season, into the playoffs, and up to and through the Big Game.

It's a toss-up as to which of these flavor-packed game day apps should kick off your tailgate at home party: Rich, tender-smoked brisket quesadillas enhanced with the zing of Pepper & Onion Relish, beer cheese, and jalapeno cheese sauce, or smoked salmon rillette — a decadent dip of smoky flaked salmon, lush sour cream, and tiny pickles that's just right for dipping vegetables, chips, and pita. Having both on offer is a touchdown no matter who wins the coin toss.
