Need help w/ tailgate menu
Okay so it's not really tailgating since we will actually be in my house and not at the game, but nonetheless, I need help w/ a menu for my game party this Saturday. Give me your ideas ladies - and include recipes where applicable!
Thanks!
ETA - and I know it should be simple and obvious to make a tailgate menu, I'm just having mental malfunction at the moment!

Re: Need help w/ tailgate menu
Meatball subs (use frozen meatballs in a crockpot, add a jar of spagetti sauce) serve on hoagies w/ mozerella cheese
Corn dip
Buffalo chicken wing dip
7 layer dip
ahhh my area of expertise....... LOL
just keep it simple
here's some ideas:
cheese dip
redneck caviar
fruits
chicken salad sandwiches - you could make the salad or buy it and just have croissants for the sandwiches
bbq
wings
pigs in a blanket
chicken fingers
chips n salsa
bacon wrapped mushrooms
pasta salad
potato salad
chips
veggie tray
chili - with all the fixings like cheese, fritos, sour cream, etc.
dessert - cookies, brownies, banana pudding, themed cake (most grocery stores sell these or the cookie cakes decorated)
I'm sure I could think of more........
also, I think southern living has something online with suggestions too that might help.
All great ideas ladies!! The 7 layer mexican dip was the only thing that I knew we were definitely having! I guess great minds think alike!!
I'm definitely filling in the the blanks with some of your suggestions. If anyone has other additions, keep 'em coming!
We made crock pot bbq for a tailgating party at our house. It was great to throw it together and forget about it for a while. I also agree with Sarah about the buffalo chicken dip.

These are the ones I use. I think Monica has a bbq recipe in her blog also.
Are you looking for just finger foods or fork foods also?
lol! Well, the succotash recipe isn't really a tailgate food, but I've been looking for a reason to recommend it!:)
It sounds delicious. I'm adding it to my short list of new recipes to make for the holidays! I have a couple Christmas gatherings to attend so this will be perfect. Thanks!
ETA: I meant this about the southern succatash!
A very easy finger food recipe that always goes over well is what I call bacon wraps.
1 box of club crackers
2 packages of bacon (not the thick kind, just the regular kind)
3 packages of cream cheese, softened.
Preheat oven to 450, once preheated turn over down to 350 and cook the wraps on 350. .
Cut the packages of bacon in half. Take 2 club crackers, dump a pretty good amount of cream cheese in the middle then wrap one piece of bacon around it.
Cook on 350 for 30-35 minutes.
This recipe makes a ton of them and they always get eaten. I've also seen these at wedding before, so you may have had them before.
OMG I'm sold on anything with bacon!
