Textbook Tailgating

                   for this football season!

 

Here are the best of our football entertaining recipes. Choose the ones that are right for your tailgate party and add to the spread by providing fresh vegetable sticks with pre-made salad dressings for dipping sauces and chips with fresh salsa - these are such great recipes they should last you through the regular schedule and into the holiday bowl season.

 

Keep that food safe by making sure you have plenty of coolers on hand with ice or cold packs as well as a good way to heat things up - use a microwave, oven, grill, slow cooker or insulated covers for pre-made dishes. Try to avoid leaving foods out at room temperature for more than two hours, so have them set out for the pre-game show but then keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold until halftime.

 

Remember to use your slow cooker to create great meals that cook while you enjoy the game!
