15 Football Tailgating Recipes

When I married my husband, it was understood that Sundays were for football. Heck, we’ve had the NFL Sunday Ticket since it first came out! He has always had a Fantasy Football team and this year my kids each have a team, so that means that I have a team.

With football comes food. We love having our own tailgating parties on our own couch. I put out appetizers of all kids and we just pick all day. That’s why putting together this Football Tailgating Recipes Roundup was something that just falls naturally into our Sunday routine.
