115 Must-Make Recipes for Football Season
A roundup of my favorite football food recipes including snacks, appetizers, sandwiches, pizza, chili, and of course sweet treats!
It’s that time of year again!
College football is already in full swing and Thursday kicks off the NFL season, so for a lot of us, that means many a Saturday and/or Sunday (or Monday night or Thursday night) sitting in front of the TV watching the game. There’s not much that goes better with football than food, right?! Whether you like to serve up a spread of appetizers, a big meal or just something sweet to nibble on, I’ve got you covered when it comes to football food.
If you need something to make for game day, this list will definitely serve you well. Enjoy!

What are your favorite game day foods?
This list makes me so hungry! Do you use your homemade “Velveeta” for any of the dip recipes? Do you think it would make a good substitute for the Velveeta in the dips? Thanks!
Yes, you could totally use the homemade Velveeta!
Aw the football cookies are too cute! Love this, can’t believe its already football season!
Those Rice Krispie treats are the best. I will be making those Saturday and most of them will be gone before the game starts on Sunday.
Thanks for putting all these great recipes together.
