Sometimes the magic of the football game starts hour before kick-off. We love to create a game day celebration when the Broncos play; right in our own backyard. It’s like tailgating at home really, with a big grill. I am excited to share homegating with beer cheese sliders and game day punch as part of the #GameDayGreats campaign with King Soopers. I love shopping my King Soopers because they have EVERYTHING we need to create a football party. True Story. They have it all!
These recipes are both special because the beer cheese comes from my days growing up in Kentucky and Jordan made up the punch. Beer cheese is a favorite there and this punch is bomb.

Making beer cheese is so fun. I used Blue Moon this time.
One of the steps is to get whisk the cup of beer to get the carbonation out. FUN!
It already looks and smells amazing in the blender!
YUM. Total YUM!
Truth, I LOVE the beer cheese best on super hard salty pretzels!
Add it to sliders for a delightful game day snack!
ADULT game day BEER punch is easy peasy to make. Mix together 3 bottles of Blue Moon, 1 C Orange Flavored Rum and 6 Cups Tangerine (or raspberry) Lemonade. Pour over ice to chill and serve with slices of orange. If you have kiddos (or tweens like me) that want the punch, substitute the beer/rum for 6 cans of ginger ale and 1 can of melted strawberry daiquiri concentrate. YUM, right?
Put them together and TA DA! GO Team!!!
This adorable sign is PERFECT for letting guests be reminded of kickoff timing.
