With just a little planning, football party menu ideas don’t have to take a lot of work in the kitchen. ALDI has you covered with their ready-to-eat meats, cheeses, dips, and buffet décor that are high-quality and economical.

Michelle Dudash, RDN, highlights simple party recipes and ideas to kick off football season the right way: 

1. Easy but Impressive Charcuterie Board  
Serving a meat and cheese board requires almost zero time in the kitchen and people love to eat it. Buy all of the components separate and arrange them on a pretty wood cutting board or fun platter. ALDI has all sorts of meats and cheeses to produce a charcuterie board you will be proud of, plus tasty embellishments like mustard, cornichons, and pretzel crackers.2. Authentic Guacamole—Just Open and Serve
It’s not a true tailgaters menu unless good guacamole is present. If you don’t have time to make it from scratch, don’t feel guilty about buying it ready-made. Little Salad Bar Chunky Guacamole at ALDI is bursting with flavor and recently won the Product of the Year Award in 2018.

For a new twist, serve the guac with liveGfree Sesame Rice Crisps. Sprinkle on crumbled cheese, chopped scallions, pumpkin seeds, and even pomegranate arils this time of year. You’ll find all sorts of surprises at ALDI in the cheese and produce sections—even organic.3. Tablecloths, party plates and platters, and more at ALDI
Every Wednesday, ALDI introduces a new batch of ALDI finds, which are products offered at a limited time at a great price.
