Tailgating Recipes to Last You All Football Season Long
Prepping for a game-day feast at home is much different than tailgating. It's best to kick off the outdoor party with appetizers you can make ahead, pack easily, and leave out for people to munch on throughout the game — enter dips that aren't temperature-sensitive. And when it comes to what you're grilling, it's all about burgers, skewers, hot dogs, and chicken that's easy to prep and quick to go on and come off. If your choice of drink isn't beer, take a look at some winning cocktails to make ahead and store in a large jug. And lastly, you can't forget about dessert! Bar cookies, brownies, and cookie cakes will sweeten any win or loss.
