Football Food! [135 Recipes for Football Season.]
Okay party people.
I’ve spent countless hours scouring the web this week for what I think are some of the *best* recipes for football season. Some are from me… some are from my internet friends… and some are from people I creepily stalk. Most of these recipes can work regardless if it’s just you, yourself and you, you and a friend, you and your family of four, or you and your party of 20. Just adjust accordingly. Many of us have the same taste buds, some of us don’t. Feel free to link your favorites in the comments and tell me what YOU think the best football food is.
You know how much I love to overwhelm you.

Incredible list!
I made these recipes for a co-workers birthday. I was looking for something different and also had a nice presentation. These cupcakes were a hit!!! I have made them three times in one month everyone loves them!!!
Aaaand, this is all we need in our cooking lives. Period. Gracias!! :)
P.S. – love the new format!
Good Grief! I am overwhelmed.
Postings like yours (and this particular one) make me really want to quit my job just so I can stay home and make all of these!!! I’ll start today…thanks! soo entertaining…
Oh. My. God. Game on, Let’s go steelers!
Spectacular list!! And, LOVE the redesign. Looks great girl!
Buff chick dip? Yes please! West coasters aren’t as obsessed with this as they should be, but when I bring it to a party it disappears the quickest. Always.
Avocado hummus? Can’t wait to try that (and by “try it” I mean make it every week)
Mini chicken meatball soup? In 2 months I’ll trade you a couple of my 80 and sunny days for your butt-freezing cold ones so I can thoroughly enjoy some’a that. Deal?
Amazing roundup. Have to keep this one handy for the next four months!
I so needed this list of super tasty recipes this season, thank you!
I actually hate football, but seem to be smitten with a boy who loves it. I usually make BBQ chicken and cheddar mini pizzas, which are a huge hit, bur now I have a nice long list to choose from. Thanks!
I am also swooning over your re-design; teal and pink – my fave colours, and “sprinkles”, the best.

Thank you much for including me! PS—the new site looks beautiful!
I’ve made and loved at least a few of these dishes from your site (and, um, would like to live in a vat of buffalo chicken dip). The boy I date has been reminding me pretty much everyday for the last several weeks that the NFL will be starting soon (except I think the NFL has already started? isn’t pre-season really the start? whatevs), so I clearly will be spending many upcoming Sundays making many of these dishes. Thanks for putting so many great recipes in one easy-to-find place!!!
Im pinning this post!!
This collection totally has me drooling. Thank you so much for including a couple of my recipes, too, Jessica! I’ve been away from my computer lately so this is the first time I’ve seen your redesign. LOVE IT!
Which recipe is the first photo from? I may have overlooked one, but the first few recipes under “dips” don’t seem to correspond to that photo….and it looks delish!
It’s the white pizza dip!
I am ready for some FOOTBALL!!!
Da Bears!!!
