We are having some friends over for the Alabama game this Saturday and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some great party foods. Thanks!

It's not quick to fix, but everyone always loves them.
Half jalapeno peppers lengthwise, fill both halves with cream cheese. I like to mix a little garlic seasoning in with it, but you can put in whatever you want. The cream cheese helps reduce the heat of the pepper.
Wrap the pepper half in a strip of bacon, starting at the wide end. Put on the grill, not directly over the coals, and cook until the bacon is crispy.
I usually wait until everyone has eaten a few to tell them the name, Lucy's Guest Room Surprises. Other people call them Atomic Dog Turds, but you can give them your own name. Trust me, they're awesome.

Can I come over? Roll Tide!
Sam's has some great appetizers. Their red potato salad is very good. They also have a three pack of sandwich meat. The roast beef is wonderful.
I like to make my own trail mix, too. M&Ms, cheese nips, pretzels, peanuts, chex mix.

Nash, that sounds so good. Love stuffed peppers, but never heard of the bacon wrapped around them. Will definitely have to try that. By the way, nice names for them...lol.
cheese dip
1 tube of sausage, browned and drained (hot is better)
2 pd velveeta block, regular or mexican
1 can rotel
1 can nacho cheese soup (any kind, really)
water or milk to thin to your specs
cook the sausage, chunk up the velveeta and put all ingredients in a crauk (crap! i can't spell that today) pot on low til everything is melted.
good stuff.

wings, wings, and more wings!!!
keep plenty of ranch and blue cheese on hand, too...
don't bother making your own...cheaper and much cleaner to order in bulk, zaxby's, sidelines, any good restaurant will do, heck, even pizza huts are good.
and best of all, you can pick theM up the day before, refrigerate, and simply warm in the oven on low for an hour or so before guests arrive...place will smell like football!!
woo hoo...ROLLLLLLL TIDE!!!

Sam's also has some wonderful hot wings in the freezer section made by Tyson that you just heat up and they are much cheaper than the ones you buy at the restaurants.
Another idea is to cut weiners up in thirds and wrap a half a piece of bacon around it and stick a toothpick in it to hold the bacon on it. Put them in the crock pot and put in about a cup of brown sugar. Cook on low until bacon is done. (the bacon won't be crispy) Awesome stuff!

if you have a nice grill, carcoal, or a smoker grill even better, go to Lowe's, they have a rack that holds chicken wings or drumlets,each rack holds maybe 12 wings, so you may get two racks. If you need more wings for a lot of people do two cookings & just wrap first cooking of wings in foil, & heat as neded, cut the tips off the wings . I found a new spice or seasoning , name Carls, at WallMart , better than Tonys Chacheres that I have used for years, spinkle it on the wings , not to much , hang wings on rack on indirect heat , let em get golden brown, maybe 2 1/2 hours , heat around 200 to 225, allso get a stand for a drunken Chicken at Lowe's cook same way & maybe a little long time on indirect heat, Oh Yummmmie Yummmie , Ranch Dressing or dressing of choice 
and a Cold One ! 
"Roll Tide Roll" we made Pickled Green Beans, called Cajun Dill Pickles, great in Bloody Marys, or just tail gate food ,

Rosie's Cantina chips, cheese dip, salsa and more. They can prepare a football gameday package for you. Also ask and they will sell you their Margarita mix by the gallon that is made with real limes (w/o the alcohol obviously you provide that).
Disclaimer: I don't work for Rosie's just a fan of Rosie's.

TYSON WINGS AND RICOS NACHO CHEESE DIP, We get both of these at SAMS, put the Mexican Rotel into the dip, and let sit in the crockpot to warm (Do not forget the crockpot liners)! This Ricos Nacho Cheese Sauce is the best, rivals all Velveeta made cheese dips, I never have any left over after the UFC or Football get togethers. We also do boiled peanuts and various chips and dips or salsas.

Have not tried it with the sausage, sounds delicious. You guys have given me some inspiration, we are hosting this first game. Time to try some new stuff. Thanks!!
