Top 5 Game Day Appetizers
If you’re like me, the best part about football is making some amazing BBQ to feed the people you love. Hey Grill Hey is all about helping you make BBQ in your own backyard so you can share it with your family while creating delicious memories. That doesn’t stop at weekend cookouts. I’ve also got you covered with all your tailgate and game-day recipe needs. To help kick off your party right, check out my 5 favorite game day appetizers.
There are meatballs, and then there are my Smoked Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs. What’s the difference? One is a meatball, and the other is the kind of appetizer that has everyone saying “What IS this?!” Seasoned with my Beef Rub and loaded with oozing mozzarella, these meatballs are a surefire hit. They’re awesome on sliders, or as-is with some toothpicks. They won’t last long either way.
You might not think “smoked salmon” when you think football, but you’re shortchanging yourself and the people you love out on the flavor journey of a lifetime. The smoky, silky salmon, the rich cream cheese, the salty, crispy cracker make this Smoked Salmon Appetizer something you’ve just got to taste (and share) to really appreciate. If your family likes Cold Smoked Salmon, they’ll love this appetizer.
Warm, tangy, sour dill pickle chips smothered in a crispy, seasoned batter, these Crispy Deep-Fried Pickles are the briny delight you didn’t know your tailgate needed. With a simple 2-dredge process and a quick fry in your favorite oil, these bite-sized bangers will steal the show. Serve this sneaky-good app with a side of homemade ranch dip to score extra points and feel like the hero of your next tailgate.
As if deviled eggs weren’t good enough already, I went ahead and dialed up the whole experience with these Candied Bacon Deviled Eggs. This version blends pickled jalapeños right into the egg filling before dusting everything with my Sweet Rub and sprinkling on a little bit of Candied Bacon. These are so good one Backyard BBQ Hero told me her family couldn’t wait for them to cool before digging in. So yummy!
If you’re looking for a classic handheld snack that brings some serious BBQ flair, look no further than these Smoked Potato Skins. Crispy skins give way to tender, fluffy potatoes topped with melty cheese, sliced green onions, and as much meat as you can pile on. We like our skins with leftover smoked pulled pork, but you can top these spuds with any meat your family loves. Drizzle with extra Everything Sauce for a whole new level of flavor.
