Top 25 Recipes for Football Season

beef-carnitas-9411

Football season is upon us and that means GAME DAY FOOD. Is there anything better in life than watching college football while eating a deliciously sloppy barbecued pork sandwich? I think not, friends. I think not.

These recipes are guaranteed to please just about anyone — whether their team wins or loses. I’m partial to any and all recipes I can make in my slow cooker, especially for game day parties. We’re planning to have some friends over this weekend and I’m thinking pulled pork in the crock pot is a must.

Enjoy, y’all, and happy Friday!

Crock Pot Root Beer Pulled Chicken

Turkey Fajita Burgers

Crock Pot Beef Carnitas Tacos <—my most popular recipe of all time!

Steak, Gorgonzola and Cherry Tomato Pizza

Beer Brats with Caramelized Onions

Homestyle Turkey Chili

Vegan Black Bean Chili

Creamy White Chicken Chili

Sweet n’ Spicy Crock Pot Ribs

Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers

Crock Pot Tex-Mex Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Buffalo Chicken Wontons

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Cheddar Jalapeno Hummus

The Best Guacamole Ever

Grilled Brie with Honey and Trail Mix

Mango Chipotle Guacamole

Green Chili Cheddar Cornbread

Cuban Black Beans

Pizza Rolls

Chicken and Green Chili Enchiladas

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Southern Comfort Chicken n’ Biscuits

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Turkey Meatballs with Quick Homemade Marinara Sauce <—I am actually making this tonight. It’s SO GOOD and one of our favorite meals!

**this last one isn’t so much of a “recipe” as it is a suggestion. Have you tried Deep Eddy Ruby Red Vodka yet? Try mixing it with sparkling water and add a squeeze of lime. You’re welcome.

    Can’t believe it’s football season already! It’s so hot in San Diego right now, like 95F at the coast. Which is normal for this time of year to get our hottest weather of the year but doesnt make me think football. But your recipes…yes! All the chili, guac, and the brie, the last drink suggestion, mmm, sounds perfect!

    The biggest reason I love football season so much is the food. I usually am in the kitchen cooking while the game is on! hahaha! The hubby can’t really complain though, he reaps the benefits.

    That photo is gorgeous. I’ll just ditch the meat and fix it with beans and will be great, thanks. You reminded me of Stanford’s gorgeous campus in autumn and hearing the rise and fall of crowd cheers from my place on campus… FUN. If you haven’t been and go, be sure to visit Memorial Church on campus built by imported Italian artisans. And downtown Palo Alto and next door Menlo Park are fun. Happy weekend!
