Chili dip with tortilla chips and toppings

Football Party Chili Dip

Football and chili? Talk about a dynamic duo. Then put it in dip form and this game day snack deserves all the awards and fanfare. It starts with Owens Hot Pork Sausage and can be ready in 20 minutes, just in time for kickoff.

Even if the game ends up being a snoozer, you can count on these poppers to bring the heat. They pack all the flavor, with a “stuffing” made of Bob Evans Original Roll Pork Sausage and all the cheese, plus a brown sugar and cayenne rub for the bacon. You’ll be sure to keep your watch party group coming back to the kitchen for more. Or, you know, just set them somewhere within arm’s reach and in clear view of the game.

Sausage Con Queso Dip

We know we already covered the “dip” category, but the truth is you can never have too many dips for a watch party, right? Right. Especially when it’s a warm, bubbly, cheesy snack you can dip into all game long. Just three ingredients are needed for this recipe – Bob Evans Zesty Hot Pork Sausage Roll, a cheese block and salsa – and you’ll be on your way to queso dip deliciousness.

steak and potato nachos

Steak and Potato Nachos

Take your game day nachos to a whole new level with this steak and Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes combination that is deliciously dolloped over kettle chips. Don’t worry – with taco seasoning in the mix and an avocado verde salsa topping, you’ll still get that classic nacho taste – just with a little added twist.

Fried Mac & Cheese burger

For the watch party win, you’ve got to serve up these burgers that foodies and cheese lovers will adore. They require a little more prep time – including letting a package of Bob Evans Macaroni & Cheese freeze for at least an hour – but we promise they will be worth the wait, especially when that fried cheese flavor hits your taste buds.

From dips to nachos to burgers, consider your game day snack spread covered. Go team!
