Football season is underway, and food is as much a part of game day as the action on the field. Fans need fuel to cheer on their teams, and these five recipes are sure to do the trick.
Guacamole and chips is fit for tailgating or gathering in front of the TV. This chunky version of guac, created by Border Grill chef Mary Sue Milliken, incorporates roasted tomatoes, bacon, jalapenos, cotija cheese and lots of seasoning.
Sliders are shareable, craveable and handheld—all attributes that meet the needs of hungry football fans. This food truck special combines meat and potatoes into a couple of tasty bites.
Wings are always a hit with armchair athletes on game days, and this recipe is quick and easy to whip up. Chef Adrienne Cheatham gives the wings an Asian twist, tossing them with teriyaki takumi sauce after baking. Serve with plenty of napkins!
