The Best Bacon Appetizers for Tailgates or the Holidays
Want to make a tasty appetizer with bacon? Check out this epic list for the BEST bacon appetizer recipes!
Tonight, the Kansas City Chiefs have their home opener and I could not be more excited! Football season brings good things with it. Fall weather, lots of fun, and great food shared with family and friends.
Before my son came along, we were Chiefs season ticket holders. On Sunday, Arrowhead Stadium was church. The atmosphere inside and outside of Arrowhead is something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. It’s electric.
My favorite part of football season is not necessary the games themselves, it’s the tailgating and sharing good food with friends. I have fun just thinking about what food I’ll bring to a tailgate, and scouring the web for ideas! Appetizers and recipes that incorporate bacon are always crowd-pleasers, so that’s usually what I bring.
Easy Bacon Appetizer Recipes:
- Bacon Wrapped Dates: The perfect mix of sweet and savory. Stuff with goat cheese, almonds or cooked sausage!
- Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers: These bacon tailgate appetizers are keto friendly and a total crowd pleaser!
- Candied Bacon Baked Brie: This is one of my most popular appetizers! Gooey brie topped with a quick candied bacon. Serve with crackers!
- My #1 most requested appetizer, Bacon Wrapped Barbecue Water Chesnuts in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce.
- Easy Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball: This easy bacon cheeseball recipe has plenty of bacon and ranch flavor. Delicious for any party!
Michelle,
I love bacon, and these recipes look awesome to this non-football fan! They would be great for a block party as well as a tailgate.
Thanks!
You’re so right, Kirsten! I just have football (or football food, rather) on the brain!
Awesome! Anything bacon and I’m IN!
Same here Kimberly! Thanks!
Great Recipes for tailgating! I’m still in awe of those bacon wrapped onion rings. 😉
Haha thanks Heather!
Yummmmm bacon is just about the best thing ever!! 😀
Heck yes it is!
This looks so fun…I love KC! Your bacon recipes look delicious!
Thank you Holly! I love KC too! I’m a transplant, but have been here 9 years now, and doubt we leave!
I saw the picture of those circular things and had to come running over to see what the heck they are! Bacon covered ONION RINGS? Oh my gawd genius.
Aren’t they? I’m obsessed!
Are you from KC?! OMG. Me too!!! Did you go to the game? My hubs went but with the babe on his way, I skipped out. I can’t wait till I can go one Sunday! And all these bacon recipes? Sign me up!
Yes! We’re up in the Parkville area!!!! We didn’t get to go to the game, I would have LOVED to go, but with the little guy it’s hard to find a sitter! We only go a few times a year now, we used to be there EVERY Sunday! I hope you’re feeling great!
Those bacon wrapped onion rings…and all these recipes…look awesome!
Thanks Cathy!
