1. Instant Pot Buffalo Drumsticks

Need an easy game day recipe that you can make during halftime? These Instant Pot buffalo-style chicken drumsticks take just minutes to cook – even better, they’re packed with flavor (thanks to our black truffle butter) and meatier than wings.

These crispy, creamy croquettes are studded with spicy chorizo and two types of cheese. Serve with smoky dipping sauce for an extra kick.

3. Beef Short Rib Barbacoa

In this satisfying recipe, short ribs are braised in a heady mix of spices and four types of chile peppers for spoon-tender, spicy meat that’s great for tacos. You can serve it any way you choose – on chips, toast, or a bowl of rice. 

4. Slow-Roasted Jerk Baby Back Ribs

These succulent jerk-marinated Berkshire pork baby back ribs are intensely flavorful with just the right amount of heat.

6. Bacon & Shrimp Hush Puppies with Smoked Chili Mayo

Flecked with hickory-smoked bacon, these flavorful hush puppies fry up crisp and surprisingly light. They’re an excellent party food and are an easy dippable snack for game day.
