From start to finish, I'm excited to share these simple winning tips. This post is sponsored.
The most memorable part of life is time spent doing all the things. Ten years from now, I want to be able to look back and think of the best moments spent with friends and family. I know I won't want to remember walking around the store aimlessly, not knowing what to buy for the tailgating party I'm about to go to. Since time is a precious commodity and loss of it causes stress, I make sure to cash in on all the hacks in life that I can. For real.
That's what Walmart's Online Grocery is to me. A time saving hack that allows me to fast forward to all the GOOD stuff in life. You know? Order online and swing by Walmart on my way to the tailgating party to have someone bring my groceries right out to my car. Score!
Now speaking of all this magical hack goodness. You are going to love this. Just one tap right over here and you can add the very best in tailgating food right to your cart over on the Walmart Grocery website. Tap, tap. Time is of the essence my friends.
See, I told you I'd be sharing all the good stuff.

TAILGATING NACHOS (WALKING NACHOS)
Here the highlights of this football food idea:
- Easy Ingredients
- Handheld
It's easy to choose nacho toppings that people will love. Try Rosarita refried beans for authentic Mexican-style flavor, black olives, shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions and sliced jalapenos if you like. (Bring a pair of food grade plastic gloves to cut them up).
To take your tailgating nachos to a bold new level, mix one can of RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes with one can of liquid nacho cheese. It's absolutely delish and does not get easier than that.
Don't forget this necessary part. To make your nachos portable, serve them in small popcorn boxes and line with food liner paper. I love this idea so much.
EASY CHEESY DOGS
Here the highlights of this football food idea are just like the nachos.
- Easy Ingredients
- Handheld
There's no better food to celebrate your favorite teams with than grilled hot dogs. Make them really good by choosing Hebrew National Beef Franks for all of your tailgating fun. You can't go wrong with their 100% Kosher beef products. Their 10.3 Ounce package contains 6 beef franks and is perfect to order at Walmart Grocery Pickup.
To make your dogs easy and cheesy. Make the same yummy cheesy salsa combo like we did for the nachos. Mix one can of RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes with one can of liquid nacho cheese for the perfect oozy and cheesy hot dog topping.
Drizzle the cheesy sauce on top of your grilled dogs. For an extra pop of goodness, add shredded cheeses, jalapenos and or chopped green onions. Just pure delish and none of the fuss.
Hope you liked these easy tailgating ideas to get your started on a season of fun! And don't forget my serving idea. Using small popcorn boxes and paper liners work SO perfectly for hot dogs, too! Win!
