13 Winning Tailgate Recipes

13 Winning Tailgate Recipes

Tailgate season is here. Unlike the sneaky weather-changing, flip-floppy temperatures outside that are teasing us about the incoming season change, football is loyally here every week reminding us that it is indeed fall. And whether you follow college or pro teams, tailgate parties are everywhere.

Wherever your party is happening, if you are tailgating, you are bringing a dish or setting up a spread. Football may be what brings you together, but the food keeps the party alive. We have Dips and Dunks, Substantial Snacks, and Delectable Desserts in the 13 Winning Tailgate Recipes below.  You’re doing a Whole30, during football season? Well we’ve got you covered too. May the best team win. And may all enjoy the food, no matter what.

Dips and Dunks

Best Restaurant Salsa

Where would any tailgate list be without the staple of any get together- SALSA.  This recipe is not just any recipe though, it’s the Best Restaurant Salsa from 40 Aprons and combines fresh ingredients with cooked that gives it depth and flavor. Your friends will beg for this recipe.

Hissy Fit Dip

Hissy Fit Dip has a crazy name but it’s always a hit because it’s based on classic tailgate ingredients- sausage, multiple cheeses, sour cream, chives… they are all there. Get out your best casserole dish and try this one  from Brown Eyed Baker.

Christmas Guacamole + Plantain Chips (Whole 30)

Gaby calls it Christmas Guacamole because of it’s festive colors (so save this recipe for later too). This creamy avocado goodness from What’s Gaby Cooking packs a surprising juicy punch by adding pomegranate seeds. Yum! Pair it with these Plantain Chips from Paleo Running Momma to keep it all compliant and such.
