From appetizers to mains every one of them has been tested until perfection and these game day recipes will make for the perfect football feast. I promise you, make these recipes and it won’t matter who wins the game. Your food will be the star of the show.

I am SO excited about this post guys. There is just something magical that happens when you mix football and food together. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not just any food though. FOOTBALL FOOD.  You can’t just serve any food at a game day party. You need a tried, tested and true football recipe. It’s gotta be cheesy and messy, hearty and tasty, with at least one that goes in a crock pot. Maybe even two if your really committed. The kind of food that feels like a big hug for your soul. THAT’S football food.

I’m just here for the food

I’m going to say something shocking… Are you ready for it? Okay. I don’t have a favorite NFL team. That’s right, I really don’t care who wins the Super Bowl and when the game is on I will just decide then and there who I am cheering for. Now, I know that is hard to wrap your head around but I am honestly just here for the food. Which should actually bring you some comfort because you can be sure that if I share a football recipe, then you know it’s going to be good.

Smoky Meatballs

These meatballs have gone Pinterest Viral and have been pinned over 3K times. AND FOR GOOD REASON! They are SO GOOD! They taste like they’ve been slow cooked in a smoker all day which is why we call them smoky meatballs, and they will fill your home with a sweet smoky BBQ aroma that will have you dreaming of a backyard cookout. These meatballs are made larger than frozen meatballs and once you make these I can pretty much guarantee you will never go back to frozen meatballs again. You will definitely want to include these in your game day recipe menu.

The Best Mac and Cheese Recipe EVER

This bacon and chorizo mac and cheese recipe really is The Best Mac and Cheese Recipe EVER. And I would know! Because 1. I love mac and cheese and 2. I have been perfecting this recipe for years.

The first thing I should say about this mac and cheese recipe is that it’s not for the calorie counters. Weight Watchers would not approve and if you’re looking for a skinny healthy version this is not it.

BUT, if you’re looking for a home cooked, southern comfort, Sunday dinner kinda mac and cheese, the kind that warms your soul, then this is it. This mac and cheese is so cheesy and so good you’ll be making it on the regular. The secret? BACON and smoked CHORIZO. This has Super Bowl written all over it. Oh man, I am getting excited just thinking about it! You can totally leave out the bacon and chorizo but I say don’t do it.  FULL MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE HERE

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

And here’s the reason you need another crockpot when planning your menu. There are just too many crockpot game day recipes to choose only one! This pulled pork is EASY (like stupid easy) and you can make it the day before. Slow cooked overnight in a secret ingredient and then served piled high onto a fresh Kaiser bun it’s a winning game day recipe for sure. When making this recipe for football, I use mini slider buns or mini brioche buns. You don’t want to fill up on big sandwiches when there is so many more tasty things to add to your plate.

Oh baby you’re going to love these cheesy garlic butter crescent rolls. They are so good!! I guarantee it will be difficult for you not to eat the whole darn pan before anyone else gets their hands on them.

Warm and buttery with just the right amount of cheese and garlic, they will quickly become a family favorite. Just when you thought crescents couldn’t get any better.

Keep things simple with these easy cheesy garlic butter crescents

I like to keep things simple. As a mom of four I don’t have time for complicated recipes, and even if I did, there are some things that just don’t need to be complicated. Which is another reason why I love these cheesy garlic butter croissants. They are SO EASY to make.

Sure you could spend hours making your own crescent dough, we spent half of 2020 perfecting our dough recipes anyway, BUT WHY? Pillsbury crescent rolls are cheap, easy, and delicious. It’s a win win for everyone.

How to make cheesy garlic butter crescent rolls

To make these cheesy garlic butter crescent rolls you will only need a few things;

• small saucepan
• baking sheet
• parchment paper (optional)
• cheese grater
• basting brush (optional)
• garlic press (optional

To start preheat your oven to 375° and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.  If you don’t have parchment paper that’s fine, I just find that it’s easier for clean up and it keeps the crescents from getting to brown on the bottom. 

Next, lets make the garlic butter! Add your butter, garlic, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper to a medium sauce pan and cook over low heat until the butter has melted (about 2 min). Remove from heat and set aside. Doesn’t it smell amazing!!

Okay, now open your crescent rolls and gently separate them by the perforated edges. Try not to ruin the shape of them. Then lay them on the baking sheets. They should look something like this.

Next, brush them with a generous amount of garlic butter. Don’t be shy here, the more butter the better.

Then add the cheese.

Now roll them up and brush with more garlic butter.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through and nice and golden brown on top. Brush them with more garlic butter and serve warm.

Eat these crescent rolls with EVERYTHING!

You can pretty much eat these cheesy garlic butter crescent rolls with anything but they are just as good on their own too! Make a bunch for your next game day party or get together and watch the crowd go wild. You need to make this garlic butter cheesy crescent rolls recipe!! Here are a few of our favorite things to make with these crescents.

Pizza

Seriously, who doesn’t love garlic bread with cheese when they are eating pizza? The two go hand in hand, Literally! Don’t waste your money on those carboard garlic bread impersonators on your next pizza order. Whip these up instead. If you’re looking for a  yummy pizza recipe try these Easy Tortilla Pizza’s.  We often make these for a fun dinner activity because the kids love choosing their toppings and making their own pizzas!

Soup

Now, if you’ve read any of my soup recipes then you already know that I am a firm believer in serving a super yummy bread with my soup and these cheesy garlic butter crescent rolls are a perfect match. If you’re looking for a great soup try this recipe for  Harvest Soup I promise, you won’t be disappointed. The pictures aren’t the greatest (I love food not food photography) but trust me, this soup is a winner!!

Lasagna 

Alright, This one is pretty obvious. I feel like you HAVE to have garlic bread with lasagna otherwise what are you even doing with your life?

Pasta

Okay, I know that lasagna is technically pasta but I feel like that was a category all on it’s own. There are SO many different pasta recipes and you can pretty much justify eating garlic bread with every single one of them. If you’re looking for a new twist on pasta though try this Chicken Caesar Pasta. Spoiler alert, there is bacon. You’re welcome.
