Always a favorite snack food, Cheez-It unveiled some tailgating recipes that scored a win with flavor and creativity. Adapting some ideas from its Cheez-In Diner, these dishes prove that football games are always more exciting with a robust food spread.
Recently, Cheez-It is showing that it is more than just another bowl of cheese-flavored snacks. The memorable Cheez-In Dinner is taking its creative dishes on the road ahead of the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. It is time for the tailgate to get cheesier.
According to Cara Tragseiler, Senior Brand Director for Cheez-It, “Building on the success of the Cheez-In Diner’s absurdly craveable dishes, we knew we had to bring that experience to tailgates where Cheez-It is already a fan favorite football-watching snack. Cheez-It is all about celebrating our absurdly passionate fans, and what better way to get them energized – and satiated – leading up to the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl? We’re excited to serve up our absurdly delicious Cheez-It infused tailgate creations during college football season as fans cheer on their favorite teams!”
Ready to dig into the Cheez Wheelz menu?
While Cheez-It will be hosting a special tailgate in Georgia on November 16, everyone can bring some epic dishes to their tailgating spread. These cheesy-delicious recipes can be found on the brand’s website. From an over the top burger to a special dip, everyone will be cheering for a second helping.
A few of the must try Cheez Wheelz menu items are: Smash Cheez-Burger, Chili Mac & Cheez-It Dog, and Cheezy Pickle Dip. Each one uses Cheez-It as an ingredient.
The Smash Cheez-Burger blends the burger meat with the original crackers. It is not the typical smashburger, and that is a good thing. While the recipe calls for pimento cheese topping, other cheeses can be used. Some shredded cheddar or even some hot honey gouda would be tasty.
For people who prefer hot dogs to burgers at a tailgate, the Chili Mac and Cheez-It Dog is a hearty food mash-up. The combination of Original Cheez-It cracker infused chili and extra Cheez-It cracker toppings is a winning combination. No one will want a plain hot dog after this bite.
Lastly, the Cheezy Pickle Dip takes the briny food trend to a whole new level. The combination of dill and Buffalo Wing Cheez-It crackers is delicious. While this is meant as a dip, consider using it as a spread for that smashburger. The flavor combination will surprise you.
These recipes and more from the Cheez Wheelz menu can be found online. It is time to make the tailgate cheesy and that doesn’t mean doing some silly themed dance to make people laugh.
