Football season is here, and we’ve got you covered with ten tasty tailgating recipes. All of these can be made at your tailgate or made ahead and packed in coolers to heat up (or just to eat) at the game.  If you’re bringing something that needs to be heated, pack it into a disposable aluminum pan, then pop it on the grill when you’re ready for it. Don’t forget disposable plates and silverware, serving utensils, napkins or baby wipes, and trash bags to clean up your mess when you’re done!

Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad by I Heart Naptime

Buffalo chicken pasta takes the best parts of buffalo wings– chicken, celery, spicy buffalo sauce, creamy ranch, and bleu cheese– and combines them for a pasta salad that’ll be gone before game time.

The BA Muffuletta by Bon Appétit

The BA Muffuletta by Bon Appétit

Muffuletta sandwiches get better the longer they sit, as the tangy and spicy olive salad soaks into chewy bread. If this is just one part of your game day spread, slice your muffuletta into smaller pieces and skewer them with toothpicks so everyone can get a taste.

Grilled Bratwurst by The Food Lab

As a Cheesehead and brat connoisseur,  I’m telling you this is the only bratwurst recipe you will ever need. It guarantees perfectly cooked brats every time, and since most of the cooking is hands-off, it couldn’t be easier.
