Game Day Snack Ideas

I take these Game Day Snack Ideas and recipes very seriously.

Game day snacks and appetizers to me are JUST as important as the big game.

My favorite to watch is, of course, my son’s football team.

But for those at home games on TV, these snack ideas will hopefully come in handy for ya 🙂

Nothing is healthy about game day food (because that’s no fun) and preferably something you can eat with your hands.

Basically you have your snack categories…dips, wings, something involving bacon, something stuffed, and some sort of slider.

I even included some Air Fryer snacks too!

I like to pick one from each category to give a little variety.

So that’s how I have organized this post (see…told ya I was serious about this 😉 )

All you have to do is click on what you like to get to the actual recipe and eat your way through game day!

Slow Cooker Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip

Just throwing it out there that this one has only THREE ingredients 🙂
