Key Ingredients

For these delicious Game Day Appetizers, you’ll want to use only the best ingredients. When it comes to the cheese, I recommend going with high-quality cheddar for the most depth of flavor. Ruff stuff cheese is a type of block cheddar that’s perfect for snacking and is available at most grocery stores. For the bacon, look for thick-cut, applewood-smoked bacon for the most smoky flavor. Brown sugar adds a hint of sweetness and can be found at most grocery stores in the baking aisle.

When it comes to the cheese sauce, I highly recommend using sour cream for the perfect tang. Hot sauce adds an extra kick of heat to the dish and can be found in the condiment aisle. Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish and can be found in most grocery stores’ produce section. Finally, small round crackers are essential for serving and can be found at most grocery stores in the baking aisle.

Storage & Reheating

leftover appetizers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the appetizers in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until warmed through.
