Get ready for #GameDay! This extensive list of tailgating sliders is your new go-to game plan for the big day. With mouthwatering recipes like Chili Sloppy Joes, BBQ Pulled Pork, and cheesy ham sandwiches, you can plan for success, no matter if your team wins or loses.
With college back in session and pro football starting back up, we’re sure you’ll have plenty of opportunities for some classic tailgating as you head out to watch your favorite teams. Sliders are the perfect food for tailgating—they’re very versatile (you can fill them with whatever you’d like), and they can usually be prepared in a single pan or a disposable foil tray to allow for easy storage and clean up. Whether you prepare them ahead of time and keep warm, or bring along a grill to cook up your food later in the day, sliders are great for every type of tailgate.
Check out the below list of tailgating slider recipes, sorted conveniently by category. You’re sure to find something perfect for your next tailgate; from those early mornings in need of a quick breakfast, to meat or veggie-lover options, we’ve included it all!
