Best appetizers for game day?

[St. Louis Hawk]

Apparently I am hosting Sunday.

Give me your best dish for game day. Already making wings.

Anything else? Bueller?

Make it easy. If it involves dry brining a heritage chicken, I will cut you.

Crockpot little smokies
Queso dip - rotel and velveeta
Pepperoni bread - frozen bread, mozzarella and pepperoni

 

[darylhawk]

Shotgun shells are always a hit as plenty of people haven't had them, and they are easy finger foods which helps with gameday parties. Do require some prep but nothing too crazy

Haven’t done queso in forever. That’s certainly easy peasy.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Hamburger cheese dip
Buffalo chicken dip

You can’t go wrong with any sort of dip.

I love to start the day with some morning sex. Really helps set the tone for the day

 

[TennNole17]

Block of cream cheese at room temp, cover in pickapeppa sauce. Use crackers to consume

That would be fantastic. Would she leave before the games start?

Baked brie is another really easy one that is a hit, as long as there's enough people to eat it all while it's still warm. Get some good bread and crackers obviously.

Good thread OP there's way too damn many political threads and this time of year is great for gameday parties and apps!

Chicken Bizkits and a can of spray cheese. Mainly just to see if any guests indulge

Don’t blaspheme Chicken Biskit crackers Sir!

 

[JuiceHawk]

Smoked cream cheese

 

[McLovin32]

I'm always a fan of throwing some rotel queso (whatever recipe you like) and some buffalo chicken dip on the smoker for a bit.

These were also a hit the last time I made them for some people and very easy to do.

Taco Cups with Beef and Cheese

These wonton taco cups are the perfect appetizer or fun twist on taco night! Layers of seasoned beef and cheese are baked in layers of wontons.

Little weenies are great, especially when the Cowboys aren’t playing and don’t bring them to the actual game. Thanks for sharing this.

insert Homer Simpson drooling ------ not sure if that falls into the "easy" category though. Takes a bit of prep.

True, but not too much. Stuff em, wrap em and grill em
Easy would be totinos pizza rolls😉

Had never heard of these; but they sound amazing. Checks the box for just about all my favorite game day ingredients.

Agree with you there. We make our own a couple times a summer when our jalapenos come in. The best I have ever had though were premade ones from Von Hanson's. Not sure if that is just a MN shop; but they have fantastic butcher that has a deli in some and a lot of premade apps when one doesn't feel like making their own.

Dill dip

16oz sour cream
1/2 c mayo
1 Tbsp fresh grated onion
1/4 c dill weed
1 tsp seasoning salt

amounts are approximate, I go by sight and personal taste. Fantastic for pretzels, chips, vegetables

The Meat Church video recipe is the one I've always used and they turn out great. The 4+ hours spent in refrigerator Ito soften them up I think is key which some recipes don't really call for

 

[McLovin32]

OP, whatever you choose to do just be sure you do NOT make the olive dip that @EasyHawk talked about in the olives thread. I assure you, nobody wants it

 

[cubsMDdmb]

Best appetizer dip you will ever have:

1 can rotel tomatoes
1 block of cream cheese
8 oz sour cream
1 pound of cooked Jimmy dean breakfast sausage

Mix it all in a crock pot and eat with Tostitos.


This dip will change your game day food prep for the rest of your life.

Party Potatoes

 

[Fijimn]

King Cake for something sweet. It is the season.

 

[boxahawks]

Crock pot pulled pork sliders.

Some people par-boil the pasta to soften them up and avoid the wait time.

Hawaiian roll French dip sliders.

Cream cheese mixed with dry pack of Italian seasoning. Spread on those little Jewish rye squares. Slice a cucumber very thin and put a slice on each piece of bread. Then sprinkle dried dill weed on top. This is close:

Some of my favorites:
Wrapped pickles (I don't know what you call them in Iowa, pickles with cream cheese and beef)
Velveta, sausage, Rotel queso dip
Guacamole
Jalapeño poppers - my version - halve jalapeños, chicken piece, then onion peel, wrapped in bacon.
Throw some kielbasa and salami on the smoker for a few minutes. Slice and season with Memphis rub.
Cream cheese and mufalatta olive spread

Salt/pepper and shit

That’s called meatloaf.

Malcom's smoked shrimp.

You’re a meatloaf!

For real I thought the same thing when it had egg and bread crumbs. But they come out really good, especially if you take the time to roll them out thin

Mine is Old Folks for the sausage brand (Hy Vee or Fareway will have it), then another block of cream cheese instead of sour cream. But yeah, This Is The Way.

And oh yeah, YELLOW corn chips.

Absolutely better than the Velveeta version.

boneless wings

Get a rotisserie chicken, smoked if available, and make some chicken salad. Don’t be that person that puts grapes in it. Add some toasted almonds to the chicken salad. Maybe some banana peppers.
Take some wonton wrappers and bake them in a mini muffin tin to form little cups. Put a dollop of chicken salad in each cup. These do hold pretty well in the refrigerator if you want to do these ahead of time. Not Ami much overnight, but certainly will be fine if prepped a few hours early.
