Preparing better-for-you game-day foods can be as easy as picking and putting together the right ingredients, if you know where to buy them. At ALDI, customers can conveniently find choices they can feel good about sharing with friends and family, including fresh produce, fresh meats, and organic, non-GMO and gluten-free options.

Michelle Dudash, RDN, shares a recipe, drink pairings, and dessert options: 

1. Make-Ahead Buffalo Chicken Meatballs in Your Slow Cooker
Prepare these Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with Light Ranch Sauce with ALDI-exclusive Kirkwood Never Any! Chicken breasts, the line that recently earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, a symbol of quality assurance and consumer protection since 1909. Every Wednesday, ALDI offers Weekly Fresh Meat Specials with extra-low prices on the best cuts of meat, making it a great time to load up.

September is National Family Meals Month, an industry-wide movement to raise awareness of the benefits of frequent family meals. We know that juggling jobs, kids and the demands of a busy, modern life often come at the expense of family mealtime at home. As your grocer, ALDI is your ally—the solution to your mealtime dilemma.2. At ALDI, There’s a Drink for That
Offering a solid beverage selection on game day is so important. The high-quality, lower-in-price beer and wine selection at ALDI will amaze you. Why spend $20 on a bottle of wine when you can spend less than $10 for the same great taste? 

If you love rosé, try La Rue Cotes de Provence Rosé offered at ALDI. For white, try their Exquisite Collection Sauvignon Blanc, and for red, their Peaks & Tides Cabernet Sauvignon. IPA beers are all the rage and for that at ALDI there is Wild Range IPA. For a festive non-alcoholic option, pick up a bottle of Nature’s Nectar Unfiltered Apple Cider.3. Semi-Homemade Crowd-Pleasing Desserts
For a full day of football, you want to aim for something that can hang out for awhile and stay looking good so you can keep your focus on the game. Kids and adults alike love brownies so give them what they want, by making semi-homemade brownies with liveGfree Chocolate Baking Mix. The ALDI liveGfree line recently earned the Good Housekeeping Seal. Sprinkle them with toppings to up the ante, like chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or a drizzle of dark chocolate.Go to www.aldi.us for more information, and stay up-to-date with the latest on social media:
