Easy Tailgating Recipes for Game Day
September 09, 2011, By Jeffrey Weeks 1 comment
Tailgating is a grand tradition that makes football season much more than just a series of games. I've been to many great tailgating events in my life, and some that were a bit less than great, and what sets the top tailgaters apart is the food. Really tasty standout tailgating food is always appreciated by the friends and neighbors around you as everybody gets revved up for the game.
Making good tailgating food doesn't have to be difficult. Here are some delicious and easy to prepare tailgating recipes that supply a big burst of flavor and will have the football fans around your section of the parking lot giving you high fives well before a touchdown is ever scored. While we love the new EZ disposable grill, these recipes are suited for having an oven close at hand.
Easy Tailgater's Hot Barbecued Cashews
These little nuts will be the hit of the tailgating party! Prepare them ahead of time and then serve them cool (even though they're "hot"). A terrifically flavorful treat no one will be expecting. You can double the recipe to make loads more tasty cashews.
- 4 cups salted cashews
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons white wine
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 dashes chili powder
Put olive oil in a medium saucepan and add butter, melt over medium heat. Stir in all ingredients except cashews and heat one minute, constantly stirring. Remove from heat and add cashews, stir to coat cashews completely.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread cashews out in a big baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Take cashews out and let cool completely, then put then in a container for serving at the tailgating party. Keep them sealed airtight until serving.
