Tailgate/Party recipes

Big Smile ::waves hi at GP:: Good morning ladies!

I am so excited for football to start back up this weekend! We watched a few games last night even though we don't follow any of those teams. Our friends always have GTG for games and I need to get a few new recipes for this season.

What are your favorite tailgate or party recipes?

I'm a chips and dip gal and LOVE buffalo chicken dip. (I make it in the crockpot and oven, either way it's good).

BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP

1 block of softened cream cheese
1/2 c. sour cream or no-fat plain yogurt
1 can of canned chicken or 2 c. shredded cooked chicken
1/4 c. red hot, or to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add chicken and mix well. Slowly add Red Hot to taste.

In an oven-safe dish, heat for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Serve with tortilla chips or fresh veggies. May also be served chilled.

Our friend makes bacon wrapped stuffing. Not a diet food! I've never made them but they sure do go fast.

-make stuffing according to package directions. Let cool a bit so you can handle it.

-take spoonfulls of stuffing and roll into a ball

-wrap with half a slice of uncooked bacon and place on a cookie sheet

-bake in the oven until the bacon is browned, about 375 or 400 for a few minutes, you've got to watch them

-you can serve warm, but most often my friend serves them room temp.

Oh yum! Bacon wrapped stuffing oddly sounds really good.

I don't have the recipe on me at the moment (although I wanted to get it from my mom soon since we're doing a welcome party when we move) but its a mexican taco dip. If you google it, I bet you could get some good ones. I'll also write down your name and pm you the recipe when I get it from my mom (I lost mine) if you're interested.

I love cowboy caviar but my recipe sucks. Does anyone have a good one?

When I first saw them I thought it would be gross. I was so wrong! They are so yummy and so easy and the guys LOVE THEM!

Armadillo Eggs

jalepano peppers

cream cheese

bacon

Cut the peppers in half (longways) and remove the membranes. Fill with cream cheese and wrap with bacon. You can put them on the grill or cook them in the oven at 275 until the jalepanos are completely soft (about 45 min).

If you don't wan the peppers hot, cut in half and remove the membranes and soak them in water overnight.

Ham BBQ might be good and it's really easy.

Sautee 2 lbs. chipped ham (Isaly's is best but that might be a Pittsburgh brand), a small chopped onion and a few minced garlic cloves. Add a bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce and maybe a 1/2 C of ketchup. Salt and pepper to taste.

Fiesta Nacho Pizza - I call them Taco Bites

Cresant roll dough - roll out into one flat sheet and pinch together the seems. Bake according to package directions, but don't let it get too browned, I do it for 2 mins less then the package says. Let cool completely. I always make 2 at a time, the cheese mixture is usually plenty for both.

1 package of softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 3 tbsp taco seasoning mix, I use low sodium, 1 glove minced garlic, splash of lime juice. Mix together and let sit while the dough cooks and cools.

Dice your fav. pizza or taco toppings. I use yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, diced tomato, 1/4 of a red onion diced, 1 cup shredded cheese, and a generous handful of blue corn nachos crumbled. I use the blue corn for the color, but you could use whatever you like. You can also add any toppings you want, but try to use different colors.

Cut into finger food sized pieces and serve. I make the dough ahead so it cools completely then top as close to serving as possible.

I don't have a recipe but I love hoagie dip. Its basically the makings of an italian hoagie all sliced down in a bowl and you use rolls to dip.

It's a dip with corn, beans, jalapenos (i think) avacado, etc.

Boo! Let me know if you find anything!

I don't have anything original. My ideas are basic stuff like:

Taquitos

Salsa and chips

Queso dip

Buffalo Wings

Veggies and blue cheese

Potato Salad is always so good

I make this too and it is soooo good! My recipe is a little different though.

One 8-oz package of cream cheese. I prefer Philadelphia Cream Cheese

1/4 to 1/2 cup of blue cheese or ranch dressing (whichever one is your favorite -- I prefer blue cheese)

1/2 cup hot wing sauce (it's gotta be Frank's Wing Sauce!)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (I usually use chicken breasts and boil them)

Two minced green green onions

Heat oven to 400-degrees Mix softened cream cheese with all ingredients, except shredded cheese, in the baking dish (no need to grease the pan). Then, after all the ingredients are mixed together, mix in HALF the shredded cheese. Place mixture in oven, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, top the dip with the remaining cheddar cheese and put back into oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is golden. Serve with tortilla chips or veggies.

I think this is mine - sounds really similar:

1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup Italian salad dressing
3/4 cup chopped cilantro

DIRECTIONS

Mix beans, peas, tomatoes, corn, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers in a large bowl. Season with garlic salt. Add dressing and cilantro; toss to coat. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until ready to serve.

I have a recipe that is similar, but we call it Clemson Caviar. Mine has beans, red onion, avacodo, jalapenos, italian dressing, and.... I don't remember what else. So good!

Here's my tip of the day. This one landed me a 3rd date with DH!

When you make guac keep a pit in the bowl (or 2 if you're making a lot) and it will keep the guac from turning brown. You can/should do this for any dip that's got avacado in it. It really works, much better then adding lemon juice and those other tricks.

This is a great tip! Thanks! I LOVE guac - could eat it every day - and I hate when it turns brown.
