Football Tailgating Party Essentials {free printable}

Many thanks to Sam’s Club for sponsoring today’s story and getting me ready for tailgating.

I don’t know anything about football.
True story.
But I have been known to put on a good football tailgating party.
Also true.
I’ve created some awesome free football tailgating party printables for you, (a pennant and these inspiring flags) and compiled a list of the essentials from Sam’s Club so you can put together a great party!

Head on over to Sam’s Club Tailgating Essentials page for everything you need to make this year’s tailgate fantastic!

1. The Samsung 65” TV. Oh how my husband wants this!!
2. Paper plates. I’m not usually for paper plates, but no one wants to do dishes after a party. And these are compostable!
3. Our free printable football pennant banner and free printable flags.
4. Wolfgang Puck 10-cup Digital Multicooker and…
5. …KC Masterpiece. You’ll need both of these for the recipe below!
6. Hidden Valley Ranch for that one person. You know the one. The one who only snacks on veggies, but is constantly dipping into the…
7. …Skittles candy bowl. Oh wait. That person is me!

For the Potato BBQ Chicken Sliders, you’ll need: (you can buy everything at Sam’s Club!)

6 chicken breasts
1 bell pepper, diced
1/2 onion, diced
5 potatoes, sliced in1/8th inch pieces, then cut in half (you’ll have thin half circles, a spiral peeler is the best!)
one bottle of KC Masterpiece
small slider buns

Pop everything into the Wolfgang Puck Multicooker for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Mix everything and scoop onto the slider buns! You will love the way the potatoes and chicken mix together to give more down-home flavor to every bite! You will be so thankful you prepped ahead with this recipe. It’s easy and sure to tame the appetites of all your football loving guests!
Leftovers (if you have any), can be served over rice or as a side dish on it’s own!

You are going to love the printables! Use paper in YOUR team colors or print on white and color your own!

The inspiration flags can be folded around a skewer (double stick tape between) and placed in a center piece… or even to decorate that croc pot off BBQ chicken!

Print our football pennant banner on cardstock to let everyone know it’s football season in your house. You can customize the colors for your team with coordinating ribbon or yarn! Now I intentionally did NOT add any colors to this banner… and I’ll admit it looks a little bland. But I know for a fact, if I had done… um… let’s see… red and blue. Someone would have looked at the colors and clicked away thinking, “Sorry Kara-Noel, I bleed green and yellow and I can never read your blog again!” And there is nothing wrong with that… you keep your clicks here and hang those colors with pride! But just imagine how cute this banner would be with colored yarn pom poms… Squee! I may just have to whip a few up and take some more pictures. No matter the consequences!
If you print this on thick cardstock it will be durable enough to pull out every football season!
