The big Sunday night game is approaching! If you are playing
host for this event, your main priority along with keeping a good stock of
beers is the food. Good food and snacks will actually help you enjoy the game a
lot better, even if the team you are rooting for is not performing as expected.
Here are a couple of snacks which won’t take much time to prepare and go well
with malt beverages.
1. Chips and dip:
At the top of our list is the quickest and simplest snack
which gets ready in minutes. You just need to fill a saucepan with cooking oil
and wait till it becomes hot. Then just add the triangle cut tortilla chips
into the oil and fry till they brown. Once the entire batch is done, place them
on a paper towel and let the oil drain. Serve hot along with different dips
like salsa, guacamole or a cheese dip.
2. Salted or Caramel Popcorn:
Popcorn is another crowd favorite snack which can be had by
the handful. Empty the contents of the entire popcorn packet into a pre-heated
pan and wait for about 5-10 minutes. Your soft and crunchy snack is now ready
to eat. They even come in caramel and cheese flavors. A little variety never
hurt anyone! If you’re not handy with the pan method, one word…MICROWAVE!
3. Pretzels:
We certainly cannot leave out this popular snack from our
list. Pretzels go well with any beverage and is a crowd favorite….add some
nacho cheese sauce on the side if you want to dress this little “oldie but a
goodie” up!
4. Cheese Burgers:
This is always a delicious and tasty item which you can
include on your list of Sunday night football treats. Your guests will be eager
to get their hands on this greasy, cheesy delight and will surely be licking
their fingers afterwards. Dress up your sliders with a variety of healthy items
such as lettuce, tomatoes, and onions!
5. Hot Dogs:
Here is another amazing snack which is an instant hit with
football fans of all ages. The franks can be easily grilled and then slipped in
between a hot dog bun. Don’t forget the finishing touches of mustard and
ketchup.
6. Fried Chicken:
This is a staple snack food item for a majority of football
(and chicken) lovers. Just make a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream and coat
the chicken breasts with them. Then dip them in some breadcrumbs before placing
them in heated cooking oil. After they brown, serve this deep fried goodness to
your hungry football fans.
7. Beef Chili:
Preparation of this dish is not very difficult or
complicated and can be prepared in your very own kitchen. As long as you have
some quality beef and the right ingredients you can make some righteous beef
chili. Perfect to spice things up while watching an intense football match.
8. Buffalo Wings:
And then you have the wings…people swear by their homemade
wings. It does take the most time to prepare than all of the above items on our
list---but it’s worth it! Once you have all the correct ingredients the
dish comes together very well. Savor your buffalo wings with a blue cheese dip
or spicy sauce.
While any of these options are good, don’t forget that a
simple cheese a veggie platter and cut fruit are always healthy options and you
don’t need football season to enjoy them. Incorporate healthy options all
year round, so you can enjoy a couple of Sunday nights “splurging”!
