Tailgating food?

[zitiqueen]

How does one leave early enough for the game so they can tailgate but forget the food they're supposed to bring... more than once? You're getting hosed. Bring baked potatoes and that's it.

wings (can be precooked and reheated on the grill)
Chicken buffalo dip
pasta salad

Someone suggested shrimp cocktail to me on here a few weeks ago. I never thought of it as tailgaiting food, but it was a huge hit!

Can you do a baked ziti or lasagna type thing? Or a potato casserole of some sort? I make one with frozen shredded hash browns, cheddar cheese, green onion, and sour cream. It's pretty good cold too.

Can you just bring meat and only bring it out if the other people didn't bring it again? Like leave it in your cooler until the moment of truth, and then if they do come through, just don't mention it and bring it home?

Wings or chicken fingers

Small sandwiches (maybe sliders or pulled pork)

cheese sandwiches ... put them on the grill to make grilled cheese. Or put the cheese into tortillas and heat them up as quesadillas when you get there.

Corn and black bean salsa

Chips/pretzels and heavy dips

pigs in a blanket

Soft pretzels

bring tortilla chips, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and then when you get the grill going you can heat up some chili and cheese and make nachos

brownies, Rice Krispie treats, doughnuts, cookies

cheese, cracker, and pepperoni platter

sausage bread

if you have a big thermos, bring chili or soup

if you have Dunkin Donuts near you, buy their Box o' Joe


I really enjoy talking about food way too much

I usually being a bowl of Pasta salad. It could be filling if there are no meat items and stays good for a while.
