Ingredients:

  • if you''re reading this, please join the ' tailgate time!' group
  • potato salad (we use the 1 i have posted here, with homemade dressing)
  • potato chips with onion dip (i just use lipton''s onion soup recipe, but make whatever kind you like)
  • ramen noodle salad (i will post my version at a future date)
  • beer (in cans, but a keg is better, if the sports location allows it)
  • assorted pop (in cans)

Directions:

  1. TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES:
  2. At least 3 plastic 48” folding tables
  3. A few folding or lawn chairs (tell your guests to bring their own!)
  4. 1 propane powered Grillin’ Griddle (Coleman makes a nice one, but there are many varieties – we use the small 1 pound propane gas powered grills because many locations don’t allow the use of hot coals. We like the Grillin’ Griddle because you can put pots of chili, BBQs, etc on the griddle surface and still use the grill portion to heat hot dogs, etc.)
  5. 1 or 2 one-pound propane gas containers for your specific griddle or grill
  6. 2 or more large outdoor trash bags
  7. 1 bottle opener
  8. 1 can opener (you NEVER know when you might need it, even if you brought no cans along!)
  9. 1 wine bottle opener (a good hint from notyourmomma!)
  10. A few large serving spoons
  11. A container of Wet Wipes
  12. Some old towels
  13. Some old hot pads
  14. Long handled tongs (for hot dogs)
  15. Salad tongs (for Ramen Noodles)
  16. Some newspaper
  17. Large stock pot (or size you need for you group) for the chili
  18. Ladle (for chili)
  19. Styrofoam bowls (for chili)
  20. Plastic spoons, forks and knives
  21. 1 good, sharp knife
  22. Plenty of paper napkins
  23. Sturdy paper plates
  24. Plastic set of salt and pepper shakers (the sets with closeable or flip-top lids work best!)
  25. Large roll of paper toweling
  26. Gallon and quart size ziplock baggies
  27. Roll of heavy duty foil
  28. Scissors
  29. Masking or packing tape
  30. Plastic cups for beer and other beverages
  31. Enough coolers for your beer and beverages, packed with lots of ice (leave some in the bag to keep it clean for people to use in their beverages)
  32. FOR THE CHILI TOPPINGS:
  33. Frito corn chips
  34. Grated cheddar (in a plastic container with a solid lid)
  35. Diced onion (in a plastic container with a solid lid)
  36. 1 or 2 pint containers of sour cream, depending on your group size
  37. FOR THE HOT DOG TOPPINGS:
  38. Hot dog buns
  39. Ketchup
  40. Yellow and spicy mustards
  41. Diced onions (you should already have a container of this for the chili toppings)
  42. Pickle relish
  43. Dill pickle spears
  44. Diced tomatoes
  45. Sport peppers
  46. Celery salt
  47. (the last 4 ingredients are only needed if you want to serve your dogs “Chicago style”)
  48. FOR THE POTATO SALAD, all you will need is a serving spoon.
  49. FOR THE RAMEN NOODLE SALAD, all you will need is a serving spoon.
  50. FOR THE CHIPS AND DIP, all you need is the bag(s) of chips and some prepared Lipton Onion Dip in a plastic container with a solid lid.
  51. Variation: I sometimes serve sloppy joes (instead of chili) and hot dogs. If you would like to do this, OMIT the chili toppings and ADD: your favorite sloppy joe recipe (I will post a family café one soon), hamburger buns, dill pickle slices, and some cheese slices.
  52. Ask your guests to bring appetizers, if you want to, and we also ask them to bring a beverage of their choice if they don’t want beer or pop.
