Make Ahead Tips

To ensure your game day goes off without a hitch, consider prepping your ingredients a day in advance. For the Buffalo Chicken Dip, you can mix all the ingredients and store them in the baking dish. On game day, all you have to do is pop it in the oven. This saves you precious time and allows you to focus on entertaining your guests.

For the guacamole, it’s best to prepare it just before serving to maintain its vibrant color and fresh taste. However, if you must make it ahead, adding a layer of lime juice on top can help prevent browning. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh until it’s time to dig in!

Perfect Pairings

No game day spread is complete without the right drinks to wash down all that delicious food. Consider serving a mix of beverages that cater to all tastes, from classic beers to refreshing mocktails. A zesty margarita can pair beautifully with your guacamole, while a hearty ale complements the spicy Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Don’t forget about dessert! Simple finger desserts, like brownies or mini cupcakes, can be a sweet finish to your game day feast. They’re easy to grab and enjoy while keeping the focus on the game, ensuring your spread is well-rounded and satisfying.
