Are you ready for some football? I’m more about the game day foods these days, but, hey, I’m good.
Life-long Football Fan
I’ve been a football fan for as long as I can remember. I was a cheerleader from the time I was in first grade all the way through to high school. I well remember my very first cheerleading outfit, those little black and white saddle shoes and blue and white pompoms.
After all these years of being a fan, I actually understand the game of football. My three brothers all played football in high school and one of them was the star quarterback.
As a cheerleader and a fan, I never missed a game. And I won’t even go into detail about my teenage crush on a certain football player at my high school. ๐
Nowadays, when it comes to football, we are a house divided. This past Sunday, my future son-in-law was cheering for his favorite team (not mine) and they were leading the entire game until the very end and the kicker missed the field goal! I do believe I saw tears in his eyes! Yes, we take football seriously around here.
We also take football food seriously. Everything I serve has to taste delicious, but I’m not about to spend the day in the kitchen missing all the action.
Over the years, I’ve nailed down the football food necessities and that includes pizza and crunchy veggies and dip. I also have a few tricks up the sleeve that keeps me in on the action and away from too much food prep.
I order pizza. And I also grab an Edwards Pie (so good for dessert), and pre-made spinach artichoke dip and white bean dip from Walmart.

Mix the sliced Jalapenos and all the cheeses. Place in a pie plate and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly. It’s an easy dish to make that’s full of flavor.
Helpful Hint: I like it hot, but if you don’t like a lot of heat, dice the peppers and reduce the amount to 1/4 cup.
Slice the top off of the red pepper. Remove the seeds and fill with Jalapeno Popper Dip. Garnish with bacon and chives and serve with veggies and/or crackers.

Jalapeno poppers are my favorite appetizer. Love that you turned it into a dip!
These array of game day food is so wonderful! They are absolutely must haves during sport event parties! Love it!
Wow – this is quite the spread! My husband would love it if I could whip this up for his football party. It looks delicious!
I’ve never tried a jalapeno popper dip, but it sounds so delicious. My husband loves spicy food, so this would be a winner in our house for sure! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
American football and I not in the same league lol I can not understand it for the life of me, if you talk about ROW football then I am in. The pizza and the dip looks delicious.
I’m loving this idea. We all like jalapenos and this dip would be great for a special occasion. It looks great in the red pepper.
Your dip sounds and looks totally amazing. I can’t wait to try it out. I bet my family would love that and the pizza too!
This looks and sounds tasty! Would love to try this too! Thanks for the recipe.
My family would so love this Jalapeno Popper dip considering they love jalapeno poppers. I love how you put the dip in the pepper which I will have to do. The Red Baron Pizzas are my boyfriends favorite and this one we have not had in a while so we will have to pick one up. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This looks so yummy – I haven’t heard of Jalapeno Popper Dip, but we LOVE pizza! Kaz x
Yum. This all looks amazing. My favorite for any type of game is for sure Pizza. But I am loving the popper dip. Looks so good!
We are HUGE football fans in my house, and game day snackin’ eats are essential. I fully admit that frozen pizza is often on the menu. And the Edwards Cookies ‘n Cream pie is my kids fave (like seriously, I think they prefer it to my homemade pie).
Ooooh, that kick! My mouth just dropped. Lol. I’m a Packers fan so I really didn’t want either of those teams to win. I am obsessed with football too so I love planning the food too! It’s just part of Sunday!
My son-in-law and his kids are big Packers fans. So, of course, they don’t care for the Vikings at all.
This is going to be our first year hosting for Super Bowl. Adding these to the menu for sure. I hadn’t thought about getting frozen pizzas either. I think I have the majority of the appetizers set.
I always try to think of ways I can keep it semi-homemade aka easy. ๐
Perfect snack for the Super Bowl!!! My aunt hosts a big party in her home every year.. and I have forward your recipe to her ๐
Thanks so much! It is delicious and I hope you all enjoy it.
They look sooooooooooooooo good. I’m afraid my mouth would burn. hahahaaha
If you don’t like it hot like I do, use a mild pepper instead. It would taste great with a red bell pepper.
Yum! We had jalepeno poppers this weekend. I had no idea you could make it into a dip! I bet it tastes amazing!!!
Wow, you’ve got some great ideas here, and I really like putting dips in peppers. Sure saves on dishes to wash!!! hehehehehe Thanks for sharing!
I would love to be at your house on game day! That popper dip looks delicious! #client
