Sink your teeth into this game day favorite with these cheesy jalapeno sausage balls.

Fall means football which means weekends in our house are about to get serious real fast. We both even have a fantasy football league so it tends to get competitive real fast. We absolutely love watching the games while eating delicious food too.

My favorite go-to party food are sausage balls. They are just one of those foods that you can pop in your mouth and enjoy while the game is going. No need to look away from the TV. Plus they’re a great snack to eat on the entire game.

My sausage balls have an extra pop of flavor especially if you enjoy a little spice. Keep reading to find out more. The good news is you can change the flavor if you don’t prefer the heat with the change of one simple ingredient.

Cheesy Jalapeno Sausage Balls

Ingredients:
1 lb ground sausage, uncooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup crushed jalapeño flavored chips
1 tsp dried parsley

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Roll the mixture into small balls about 1″ in diameter.
Place on a greased baking sheet or cover baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
Now all you need to do is enjoy and watch some football!

Like I said before, if you want a different flavor than the heat from the jalapeño chips, just switch out the flavor of chips. Sour cream and onion or BBQ chips would also be a great choice.

May I suggest checking out the Wise Chips variety at Family Dollar. They have a large selection perfect for tailgating too. And it’s all just in time for football. Plus who doesn’t love to snack on chips while watching a big game.

Now we all need something cold and refreshing to wash down those salty and spicy snacks. There is nothing more refreshing than an ice cold Coca-Cola Zero™.

The biggest game of the year will soon be approaching us which means many people will be either hosting or attending a party and needing something easy but yet yummy to make. I have the perfect recipe for you.

A BLT cream cheese dip will bring back so many summer memories of those fresh home grown tomatoes. For me there is nothing like waiting all winter for a home grown tomato and then slicing a fresh one for that first perfect BLT of the summer. Is your mouth watering yet? I know mine is.

This dip includes all of that and more with cream cheese and cheddar cheese. For me you can never get enough cheese.

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices of bacon
3 green onions
1 medium tomato
Romaine lettuce

*Be sure to save some bacon, green onions, tomato, and lettuce to use for garnish.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Using a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until well combined.

Prepare the rest of your ingredients by crumbling the bacon, slicing the green onion, dicing the tomato, and chopping the romaine lettuce in small pieces.

Add the shredded cheese, bacon, green onion, and tomato to the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined.

Spray your pie pan with olive oil cooking spray.

Spoon the dip into the pie pan and place in the oven to bake for about 15-20 minutes. You will notice the dip starting to brown and bubble on top once finished.

Remove from the oven and garnish with bacon, green onions, tomato, and lettuce.

Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

And most of all enjoy your snacking and super bowl party!
