Game-Day Feasts to Feed a Crowd

Our home team is no longer in contention for this year’s Big Game, but the postseason is in full swing, and game day remains a good excuse to get friends and family together for an afternoon or evening of food and drink.

Great football-watching food doesn’t take away from the game. The hosts should have as much fun as the guests, and you don’t want anyone feeling like they need to pull themselves away from the TV in order to satisfy their appetites. That’s why low-prep, easy-to-eat meals are best. Finger foods, dips, and small bites can be set out buffet-style for guests to serve themselves at their leisure during commercials and half-time. We found some great recipes to offer variety for a crowd.

Ribs are a hearty, simple finger food that requires little to no prep – simply set them out on a platter to be picked up and enjoyed. Butcher Boy carries a scrumptious selection of marinated or plain ribs, so you can flavor them anyway you choose.

For Texas hold-ums chipotle beef burgers, dinner rolls will work just fine for the buns. The garlic ketchup adds just the right flavor to balance the spice.

For a simple snack with a kick, try our buffalo chicken dip. It’s rich, a bit spicy, hearty, and the only setup needed is a bowl of tortilla chips.

What’s a football game without chili? Don’t forget to offer toppings on the side for guests to suit their tastes: sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced peppers, and diced tomatoes.

Cheeseburger bites are appetizer size and perfect for bringing together all the flavors of the conventional burger you know and love – with a twist.

Nachos loaded with pulled pork and all the fixings are sure to please. Or use whatever proteins you want instead of pork. Just don’t skimp on the layers and quantity so that everyone gets a heaping helping on their plates.

Of course, we have all the ingredients for these ideas and anything else on your game-day menu at Butcher Boy.
