And they have friends!Luckily, I have a few shortcuts in my pantry to keep these guys from chewing up my couches. Enter VELVEETA & RO*TEL, stage left. I always have both of these in my pantry. Why? VELVEETA & RO*TEL are the only two ingredients in the classic game day Famous Queso Dip and I am Queen of the Queso. While there are many variations on the theme, my version brings a little extra party power with a heaping helping of pulled pork! Queso and pulled pork? BIG WIN! I have a little extra step that I take that is completely optional… I blend my RO*TEL Classic before I add it to the VELVEETA cubes in my saucepan and before melting it all together. This ensures a silky smooth Queso as the starting point. Yes, this COULD be the end point. You could put that in a bowl and plunk it down on the buffet table with a bag of chips and have some very happy people… but you all know I’m not good at leaving well enough alone. This is where the pulled pork gets stirred into the pot and heated through.
If you’re wise, you’ll jump back before you put the big bowl of Pulled Pork Queso on the table. If you were really on top of things, you will have kept a little bowl back for yourself before you did that. Now, while they’re crowded around the table, you can take your little bowl of Pulled Pork Queso and take the best seat on the couch. SCORE!

My favorite football food is chips and homemade salsa and I’m hoping the Browns might not do toooo badly this season :+)

It’s not the happiest football season in NYC this year, but chili helps. And pigs-in-a-blanket!

hot wings for me and I don’t watch much football, but I cheer on Michigan State when I do!

Southwestern Egg Rolls with spinach, black beans & corn! I make a huge triple batch and lay on a cookie sheet to flash-freeze them. Then pop into a ziploc bag and just take out as many as you need when it’s game-time! Just bake for 25 minutes and serve with cilantro/lime ranch. Delicious!

I’m going to be weird and say a veggie and dip tray. Because for some reason I feel more comfortable eating WAAAAY more dip than normal because, hey, it’s a party! And I’m also using raw broccoli, so it can’t be all bad, right?

Chris @ Shared Appetite says
Pretty much any food that isn’t healthy is perfect game day food… my latest and most recent favorite creation are Bacon Wrapped Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Poppers, which I just posted on my site last week.
