It is football season! If you have a football fanatic in your house, like I do, I am sure you are already planning your menu for the Big Game. When Tyson Foods reached out to us to create Big Game Day Snack Hacks we were excited to partner with them. Creating Game Day food is as important as watching the big game at our house.
I love to use shortcut methods when possible to create Snack Hacks for the Big Game Day party. It is a great way to save time and still wow my friends and family for the Big Game Day. The added benefit is that I don't spend all day in the kitchen and get to enjoy the party.
Big Game Day Party Snack Hacks:
Tyson® is my go-to brand for game day. It is easy to shop at my local Walmart for all my game day needs. I can easily pick up decorations, plates, napkins, cups and plastic wear to help keep my clean up a breeze in addition to all of the items I need for my menu too. I can shop for Tyson Foods products because they easy to prepare and I can quickly use them to create delicious snack hacks for my Game Day party.
By using a few snack hacks you can easily impress your guests with a full tabletop tailgate spread and no one will realize that you didn't spend hours in the kitchen on game day. When it comes to planning my menu I am looking for easy snacks that the whole family will love. Tyson Foods snacks are the perfect way to satisfy "game-time" appetites at your Big Game Day party. In fact they are great for busy week nights or any game day! We created a simple game day menu for you and we hope your friends and family enjoy it as much as mine did. Here are some of my favorite Tyson Foods that you can pick up at Walmart to create a game winning event.
- Hillshire Farm® Cocktail Links
- Jimmy Dean® Roll Sausage
- IF (Individually Frozen) Wings Brand: Tyson
- Tyson® Any’tizers® (bone-in)
- Tyson® Crispy Chicken Strips
- Ball Park® Frozen Pulled Pork
- State Fair® Mini Corn Dogs
For my first Game Day Hack I am sharing how to make Sausage Pinwheels. They are a family favorite at our house. Pick up a package of Jimmy Dean Roll Sausage and two packages, any brand of crescent roll dough at your local Walmart. Soften the sausage by placing it on your counter for a few minutes while your oven pre-heats to 350 degrees.
Unroll the dough onto a clean counter and spread the sausage on the dough with a rubber spatula or clean hands.
Roll up the dough long ways and slice into 1 inch slices.
Place the Pinwheels on an ungreased cookie sheet or stone and bake for 15-17 minutes or until done.
This quick snack hack is sure to be a huge crowd pleaser! Serve warm and enjoy!
Next simply pick up a bag of Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips and a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Bake the Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips according to the package and instructions and simply toss them in your favorite BBQ sauce once they are baked. My son LOVES this quick party snack hack and he thinks that the BBQ sauce adds a delicious flavor. It is a great way to eliminate offering dipping sauces too!
Finally utilize your slow cooker! It will keep Game Day snack prep a breeze! One of my family’s favorites is to make Game Day Sausages!
Simply pick up 2 packages of Hillshire Farm Cocktail Links, use the rest of your BBQ sauce (1 cup) and add ½ cup grape jelly.
Simply add your ingredients into a 2.5 qt slow cooker and turn it on low for 6 hours!
You are ready to serve and everyone will think you spent hours preparing these delicious Game Day Cocktail Links.
I hope your friends and family enjoy these Snack Hacks as much as mine does! It is so easy to shop for all your Game Day shopping needs at your local Walmart and you are sure to be able to pick up Tyson Foods and more to keep the Big Game Day prep easy! This will make your #TabletopTailgate a breeze!
