7. Paleo Potato Skins with Guacamole and Bacon
These paleo potato skins are super crispy, loaded with guacamole, crispy bacon, green onions, and ranch dressing. The only problem is, no matter how many you make, you’ll always wish you made more!

9. Slow Cooker Tailgate Chili
This isn’t your typical chili, this one has two secret ingredients: beer and chocolate powder! While beer isn’t a completely abnormal ingredient for chili, the chocolate powder definitely is! This small addition will cut the acidity and give a richness to the chili for a truly unique taste!

10. Warm and Cheesy Pulled Pork Dip
This one’s for the BBQ pulled pork lovers! Stack this warm and cheesy dip on tortilla chips, pretzel rods, or Scoops for a dip that will have everyone coming back for seconds, thirds, and maybe even fourths!
Ps. Our pre-cooked southern style pork BBQ would also work great in this dish!
