3 tailgate recipes that are sure to please any fan!

Kraft Heinz sponsored this post, but the opinions are my own.

This Labor Day weekend, sports fans can look forward to the unofficial start of football season!  My husband is a huge football fan and I can pretty much expect for football to completely consume my household for the next several months.  As for me I look forward to some fantasy football, Game Day camaraderie, and of course tailgate parties!  If I’m being totally honest, these are the three things I love most about football season (but don’t tell my husband!)

This season, I’m preparing for seemingly non-stop sports TV, I can also be really excited about some great game day entertainment and fun.  But let’s face it, nothing makes for a great tailgate party like some good food!  I’m happy to share 3 great recipes for your tailgate party that are sure to please any fans – big and small. Best of all, these are all simple recipes that are packed with taste and you can all of the products you need with just one stop at your local Walmart.
