Football season is coming up and fast! Football watching parties are pretty big every Sunday (and Saturday for you college football fans). Tailgating is also pretty big each weekend there is a game. Now I don't know about you, but I'm not into making huge complex recipes when I have to cook out of the back of a truck (or in some cases on the outside burner of my RV), So I have a list of easy tailgating food ideas for you! These are part of our Tailgate Food Ideas List.

Easy Tailgate Food Ideas You Need to Know

Some of my favorite recipes include the football cupcakes, Coca-Cola pulled Pork and dill pickle bites. But I am a southern girl and my husband has a list of very different favorite recipes.
