I'm going to a football game soon. (Green Bay @ Detroit Lions) Go Green Bay, any-who.?

Question

My question is anyone have tailgate recipes. Finger foods, dips that sort of stuff?

Answer 1

Sweet & Sassy Chicken Wings

2 c brown sugar
1 c soy sauce
2 garlic gloves, minced
2 tsp ground ginger
3-5 lbs chicken wings
1/2 veggie oil

Combine first 4 ingredients. Place wings in marinade mixture; cover
andchill for 1 hour. Drain wings and bring marinade to room temp. Pour
oil in a non-stick frying pan-best if use wok--heat the oil and pour
in themarinade. The marinade will be foamy. Next slowly add the wings.
Turn wings to keep from sticking and cook for 25 mins.


Old Fashioned Ham Biscuits

1 pkg of party rolls (20-30 rolls)
1 stick of real butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
1-2 tbsp grated onion
1/2 lb of smoked ham, sliced or chipped
1/4 swiss cheese, thin sliced

Preheat oven to 400*. Leave rolls in pan. cut all the rolls in half,
placing the tops aside. Combine next 4 ingredients, making a spread.
Addspread to both top and bottom of rolls. Add the ham and cheese to
thebottom rolls then replace tops. Wrap all in foil and heat until
cheesemelts. (about 10 to 15 mins).


Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

1 jar (12 oz) peanut butter, smooth and creamy (I use the honey
flavored kind)
1 box (16 oz) confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 stick butter, melted
9-10 oz milk choc candy bars, melt in a double boiler

In a large bowl, mix PB, butter, sugar. Spoon mixture into a well
buttered 13 X 9 X 2 inch pan. Butter your hands up and pat down the
mixture. Spread the choclate. Refriderate for 1 hour. Bring back out
and let stand at roomtemp for 10 mins.

Cut into squares.

Answer 2

BAGEL DIP
1 (16oz.) jar Hellman's Mayonnaise
1 (16oz.) container sour cream
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix - (not party mix)
3 pkgs chipped or dried beef (I use Budwigs)
2 pkgs Lender Bagels (I use Packer Bagels, green & gold) from a local bagel company.

Mix all ingredients, except the bagels, and chill. Cut bagels into bite size pieces. Dip bagel pieces in dip.

=======================================
PRETZEL DIP
1 pkg. Hidden Valley dip Mix (original flavor)
2 - 8oz. pkgs. cream cheese
6 oz. beer
6 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Pretzels
Mix all ingredients & chill.

======================================

BBQ PULLED BEEF
5-6 lb. of beef chuck roast
3 carrots, chopped in large chunks
1 large onion, quartered
2 bay leaves
4 large garlic cloves smashed
2 ribs celery, cut in large chunks
1 large bottle of favorite BBQ sauce. I use Sweet Baby Rays spicy Honey.

In a large stock pot add all ingredients except the BBQ sauce, and just cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, and turn down heat to a simmer. Let beef simmer for about 2 1/2 hours, or until meat begins to fall apart easily. Remove meat from pot reserving the cooking liquid. Let cool briefly, then begin to "pull" the beef with 2 forks, resulting in a shredded beef. Add the pulled beef to a large bowl. Add BBQ sauce, and enough of the cooking liquid to give the beef a "cole slaw" look. I add about 1 cup of the cooking liquid along with the BBQ sauce. I then place the beef in a foil pan so it can be heated up on the grill, and serve on toasted hamburger buns. It is the best!

======================================

GREEN BAY KIELBASA
Hillshire Farms Kielbasa (any variation)
White American cheese, sliced and NOT processed
Long French bread, hard style without seeds
BBQ sauce

Stoke up the grill; old fashioned briquettes are favored. Take the Kielbasa link- split the horse shoe in half so you have two lengths. Take the links and split them up the middle- wing out length, but keep it together so it could fold.

After a couple of minutes on the grill, place the white American slices in the folds of the kielbasa. let them melt a little.. add the sauce on top.

Cook the sausages a bit, let them brown and the cheese melt. Baste the links with some more sauce.

Split open the French bread. You may add some sauce so the sausage sits on a bed of it.

===============================

Hope this helps a little. Enjoy the game! :-)

Answer 3

Always a fan of grilling wings and dippin' them in some buffalo sauce you heat up in a little skillet. Sausages to get started - lotsa mustard. And I like to make up some Rotel for dipping - again I do it in a small pot on the grill.

But, being a Green Bay fan, come Detroit, you might just want to forget the cooking and concentrate on comfort foods like cupcakes and the like. 'Cause after my Saints whoop up on y'all this weekend, your season's just gonna keep goin' downhill.

Who Dat Baby!

Answer 4

if you're actually going to the game and will be tailgating at a parking lot or field, you really can't get into dipping sauces. simple food on the grill is best. everyone will be drunk and hungry, they won't care about how pretty the food looks. anyhow, have a super fun time!!!!

Answer 5

I would suggest something you make at home in a pot and set it on the grill to reheat you don't want to be messing around doing a lot of cooking you can also throw in a few dogs as you will have the grill lit....

Answer 6
