Kroger not only always has a great selection of local and international beers, like Warsteiner Pilsner and other premium pilsners, I know I can get other game day ingredients, like the fluffy and delicious Pepperidge Farm® Bakery Classics Sweet & Soft Slider Buns used in my Cheesy Beer and Bacon Sloppy Joe Sliders, while getting my weekly grocery shopping done too. To get ready, I’ll be shopping at my local Kroger and stocking up on plenty of game day snacks, party supplies and drinks, including premium beers. Compared to other years, I think this year’s big game watch party will be a little smaller, but that doesn’t mean I won’t go all out on the food and décor. With all the nail biting playoff games currently taking place and THE big game just a few weeks away, we are already making our game day plans. They quickly developed a loyal fan base, so much so, when we hosted friends to watch a football game over the holidays, these were the one snack food everyone requested! So, last fall when we were in the middle of all the football fun, I came up with these Cheesy Beer and Bacon Sloppy Joe Sliders and served them at several tailgates and watch parties. ![]() Not that there isn’t anything wrong with all those “classic” football foods, but why not serve a spread of food that will have them talking, not just about the game? ![]() Yes, I know, there are those classic football foods that everyone expects when they go to a football party things like pizza, 7 Layer Dip and hot wings, but I always like to try and serve a few easy, yet show stopping game day eats. You know, fun little rivalries between friends, creating fun and cute football themed décor (which, strangely, is appreciated by both the guys and gals) and of course serving the best football eats in town. While I love to watch these games and attend the tailgates, eagerly cheering on my favorite teams, if I am being honest, I get more excited about all the other game day fun. We even hosted a few of our own football watch parties, and those football filled weekends quickly turned into weeks of fun all leading up to the quickly approaching big game! We eagerly watched several live games and attended several spirited tailgates. But the past few years have been a little different, and we couldn’t help but getting wrapped up in all the football frenzy! Which is kind of ironic, due to the fact that while we enjoy a good game, we aren’t those super crazy football fanatics. Like many of you, especially my fellow Texans, football was a big part of our fall festivities. Gearing up for the big game? Put these Cheesy Beer and Bacon Sloppy Joe Sliders on your game day menu and score big with friends and fellow football fanatics!
