Snacks and Meals for Any Night of Football

Loaded Mini Chili Dogs

Fall is in the air. You can almost smell it, save the stuffy nose – but you can feel it too! The crisp thin air, the crunch of the leaves, that smokey smell on the wind. But inside the home there’s a difference too. The air is warmer and closer, there’s the smell of baking, and of course the sound of football and excitement. 

Sometimes a game or two on a Sunday afternoon can be fun, but when guests get involved it can be difficult to keep everybody fed and happy. Entertainment isn’t the issue here, the eyes are glued to the play-by-play action, but what about snacks? Here at the Mrs. Wages® brand we have no shortage of good ideas. Here are a couple of ideas for snacks no matter the day of the week. 

Build Your Own Pizza Thursday 

For Thursday night, keep it simple. Grab some Mrs. Wages® Pizza Sauce Tomato Seasoning Mix, personal sized pizza crusts, part skim mozzarella, and some of your family’s favorite toppings. Just set everything out on the counter and let everybody go to work on assembling their own mini pizza! These smaller pizzas are usually ready to go in just 10 minutes!

Looking for a snack rather than a meal? Our aptly named Football Pizza Bites are perfect for the occasion. With a short ingredient list and a speedy cook time, these treats are simply delicious for any game.
