As I am going through recipes and updating the posts, I realized I only have one post you would consider game day food, Tailgate Crock Pot Pierogies with Kielbasa, Bacon, and Onions. So looks like I need more game day food recipes.

Bratwurst Recipes

When comes to football food, I know bratwurst recipes are perfect to make for tailgates. What can I do with bratwurst recipes?  I need something that would be an amazing game day appetizers!

Slider Recipes

The perfect game day appetizers are in my opinion is slider recipes. Can bratwurst recipes be turned into slider recipes? Yep, especially if they are cheesy slider recipes.

Easy Slider Recipe

What else can I do differently to these game day appetizers? I knew I wanted it to be an easy slider recipe. My sister love pepperoni cheese. Wait, pepperoni cheese and bratwurst recipes? Sounds like great game day food! 

Pepperoni Cheese

Pepperoni cheese was on sale at the store. So asked on Facebook, like I normally do when I want feedback, do you think pepperoni and bratwurst would go well together? I got an overwhelming yes!

One thing I come to find is many do not know what pepperoni cheese is. Well, have to get pepperoni cheese at the deli at the grocery store. Ask your deli if they have pepperoni cheese you can sample it. Trust me it is good!

Cheesy Pepperoni Bratwurst Sliders

I did a little playing with this pepperoni bratwurst slider. The bratwurst and pepperoni cheese was good together, however, this slider recipe needed something.  I decided this bratwurst slider needed to be even cheesier. Then the rest was history as this easy slider recipe was born and made into the perfect tailgate recipe.
