The perfect game requires the perfect food. Try something new that’s sure to wow the crowd. Here are a few recipes that’ll impress your guests and make game day even sweeter:
Nacho Dip
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can of refried beans
- 1 package of cream cheese
- 1 jar of the salsa of your choice
- 1 lb of ground beef, cooked
- 2 tbsp of garlic powder
- 1 tbsp of onion powder
- 3 tbsps of salt
- 1 tbsp of pepper
Dump all ingredients into a crockpot. Cook dip on medium heat for six hours, until the dip is melted together. Enjoy with tortilla chips or pretzels for dipping!
Teriyaki Wings
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs raw chicken wings
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 4 cups of canola or peanut oil
- 2 cups of teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup of soy sauce
- ½ cup of fish sauce
- ½ cup of honey
- 3 tbsp of garlic powder
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- 3 tbsp of salt
Pour oil into a large pot and place on the stove over medium heat. Allow to heat until oil reaches 375 degrees.
Coat wings in whole milk, then in flour. Shake off any excess flour and place wings into hot oil for 7-10 minutes.
Once wings are tan and crispy, remove wings from the fryer and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, fish sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Toss wings (once cooled) in the bowl with sauce.
Heat again, if needed, and enjoy!

- 1 tbsp of pepper
- 2 tbsp of rosemary
- 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
On a large sheet pan, place fries and garlic cloves. Toss in olive oil and bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees. Once the fries are cooked, let cool for a few minutes. Pour fries in a large mixing bowl and toss in spices and cheese.
