Everyone loves nachos! There are a couple of different ways you can approach them.  The classic Rotel cheese dip, you know where you take a 1 pound of Velveeta, and one can of Rotel tomatoes will please most any nacho lover.  You can consider adding a pound of sausage, or even hamburger to this to give it some meat, no football lover would turn down meat.   Or you can take a look at our recipe suggestion of Creamy Tacos, or the Chili's Nacho cheese dip as variations on this famous cheese dip. If you want something lighter, you may want to consider a layered bean dip.   Consider using fat free beans, fat free sour cream, and fat free cheese to help to lighten up this recipe.  So either way if you like hearty nachos, that you can prepare ahead of time, or if you enjoy lighter nachos you are set.

Food that you can eat with your hands is definitely the way to go.  When you are having a party you want to serve foods that are easy to eat, and you want food that you don't want that is complicated.   Hot dogs are great, you can keep these warm in a crock pot.  Serve these up with some either home made chili, and you could even used canned chili.   One of our favorite chili recipes tastes just like James Coney Island.  You can enjoy this southern favorite at home, best of all you can cook this one up ahead of time, and just heat it up game day.  Keep in mind chili goes great with Nachos!   You may even want to try a southern favorite, the Frito pie, take Frito chips, pour over chili, and add some shredded cheese, and you have a Frito Pie!

Hot wings are another favorite of ours on game day.  You can make these at home.   You don't need to go out to an expensive restaurant to get these.  One of our favorite recipes tastes just like Hooter's Hot Wings.  What makes Hooter's so special?   It isn't the servers, it's the breaded hot wings served fresh.  Get a couple of your football fans to come over early, and help you bread up some wings.   Be sure to get plenty of Blue Cheese dressing to serve with these.
