Hubby is a manic football NUT! My favorite part is tailgating! I can do without the games themselves, but tailgating is a MUST whether you are at home, or at the game in person. In fact, hubby is spending all this weekend tailgating with friends. Whether you are with a group of friends huddled outside the stadium or the family gathered around the TV in the den, tasty food and snacks are essential to a “winning” tailgating experience.
Tailgating for most of us conjures images of greasy pizza and saucy wings. With a little vision and planning, you can score big by offering a menu that’s just as delicious but a bit better for you.
Fewer penalties, better tailgating…
When you go to tailgate, do you tend to get the yummies, or the veggies? If you are on that ‘diet’, you can still have fun, indulge and enjoy those tasty treats. Frito-Lay has perfect portion control sizes make it easy to enjoy all your favorite treats – in moderation. And simple “tricks” like offering dips made with reduced-fat sour cream or that offer positive nutrition like salsa or guacamole, cooking with lean turkey meat and fat-free refried beans can cut hundreds of calories off your meals and still taste great for you and your hungry fans.
I am VERY excited to be taking Frito-Lay products when we go tailgating for the Chicago Bears games this football season! *Go Bears! *

We always have Chex Mix (homemade) and my kids think no party is complete without my Special Dip (Lipton onion soup) and chips. My most recent favorite is Buffalo Chicken Dip with Tostitos for dipping.

2. Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture into each pepper half. Place pepper halves, cheese side up, on grill rack coated with cooking spray.

We LOVE to tailgate.
Tostitos and cheese dip are a favorite at the games. We will use a combination of Tostitos salsa, cheese dip, and doctor it up with some spicy cooked sausage and some Rotel diced tomatoes. We melt it up and serve it warm at the tailgate in a propane powered crockpot. Of course… Tostitos Scoops are the best way to eat the yummy dip.
Our family favorite during football season, or any party time is the Chili Pepper Bake. We serve it with Frito Chips. Not too healthy but not too bad:
Ingredients
3 cans green chopped chili peppers
10 oz. grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 eggs
3 Tbsp. milk
Frito chips for serving
Directions
Mix eggs and milk with fork.
Grease loaf pan.
Layer peppers and cheese.
Pour egg mixture over.
Bake 325 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.
Serve with Frito Chips.
It’s delicious! Thanks!

really simplistic, but i recently discovered that my favorite (plain or ruffled) lays chip dip is hummus. the lemony flavor and texture work really well with the potato flavor and saltiness of the chips! a simple hummus recipe can be found here:

We like to dip Tostitos in this sauce
1 can chili with meat
1 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese
melt cheese in the chili in Microwave..about 40 seconds, take out and mix thru. May need a few more minutes. Serve with fritos
I don’t have an actual recipe for this, since I don’t measure, but I like to make oven fried chicken with a crushed Fritos topping.
Wash and dry your chicken. Roll it in lightly seasoned flour. Dip into beaten egg. Roll into crushed Fritos (use the food processor to crush them if you have one, or put in heavy duty plastic bag and roll with rolling pin).
Line a baking pan with foil and put a greased cooling rack on top of it. Place the chicken on the rack and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 40 minutes.
