10 Tasty Tailgate Recipes

Football season is here, and we've got you covered with ten tasty tailgating recipes. All of these can be made at your tailgate or made ahead and packed in coolers to heat up (or just to eat) at the game.  If you're bringing something that needs to be heated, pack it into a disposable aluminum pan, then pop it on the grill when you're ready for it. Don't forget disposable plates and silverware, serving utensils, napkins or baby wipes, and trash bags to clean up your mess when you're done!Hoagie Dip by The Girl Who Ate EverythingAll the flavor of a sub sandwich in DIP FORM.
