Hank Graff serves up some tailgate recipe ideas for football season

Since football season means tailgating, the Hank Graff Mt. Pleasant blog features some of the most scrumptious tailgating meals of the season.

Recipes on the blog include one for bacon pancake dippers, perfect for a pre-game tailgate event. Just cook a piece of bacon in pancake batter and there you have it: a crisp piece of bacon covered in a fluffy pancake. And you can even dip them in syrup for extra flavor, the posting said.

Another recipe featured on the blog is chicken cordon bleu sliders. All it takes to create this dish is melting chicken, ham, mustard, and swiss cheese between two dinner rolls.

Mini bacon  and ranch cheese balls are also a nifty idea for tailgaters, the article said. These snacks are basically cheesy bacon balls on a pretzel stick. They are convenient and largely mess-free. And the best part about them, other than being tasty, is that they only take 10 minutes to prepare.
