Get your Game On with these Winning Recipes

Championship games mean top of the line get togethers with friends and family and ultimately, fantastic food options. While gorging on your favorite game-day snacks is easy, being responsible for bringing a dish that everyone will love can prove more challenging. That’s why we’ve put together this game day guide to help you impress your friends with your culinary skill and basketball knowledge!

DIPS SURE TO BE A SLAM DUNK

If you’ve been tasked with bringing a dip, try to spice it up with this Chipped Beef Spread made with mustard and horseradish and served with pita bread. You can also keep it classic with Salsa Ranch Dip and tortilla chips.

APPETIZERS AS THREE-POINTERS

For the appetizers, we’d highly recommend trying these Tuscan Bites. Zucchini, red peppers, beans and Italian dressing all packed into a tiny tortilla chip is just the bite of flavor your guests are looking for. If you want something with a little more heat, Chorizo Stuffed Jalapenos may be the way to go. Once you’ve had your heat fix, cool it down with Ranch Vegetable Bruschetta and prepare for the main course!

ENTREES TO MAKE YOU THE MVP

If you still have any room left, go for some Cocktail Wings made with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Or, for a lighter meal, try a Southwestern Roll Up with turkey, salsa and mayonnaise.
