When it comes to game day, there's nothing quite like the excitement of a good old-fashioned tailgate party. The camaraderie, the cheers, and, of course, the mouthwatering food – all of it combines to create an unforgettable experience. If you're a grill master who's looking to take your tailgate party to the next level, then look no further than Bill & Rod's Appliances. We've got 15 tantalizing tailgate party foods that will make your Traeger grill the star of the show.
1. Grilled Wings
Kicking off our list is the ultimate crowd-pleaser: grilled wings. Marinate your chicken wings in your favorite sauce, then grill them to perfection on your trusty Traeger grill. Whether you prefer the zesty tang of buffalo, the smoky richness of barbecue, or the sweet heat of honey mustard, these wings are a guaranteed touchdown. The Anything Rub from Traeger give a great base for flavor before giving the wings a toss in some sauce.
2. Smoked Brisket
If you're craving a taste of the South at your tailgate, go for smoked brisket. A Traeger grill will transform this cut of beef into a mouthwatering masterpiece. The result? A tender, flavorful brisket that's perfect for sandwiches or sliders. Beef Rub from Traeger gives great balanced flavor for the perfect smoked brisket. Here at Bill & Rod’s Appliance we also like to mix Prime Rib Rub and Coffee Rub for our brisket.
3. Pulled Pork
Slow-cooked pulled pork is a tailgate classic. Season a pork shoulder, let it smoke to perfection on your grill, and then shred it into delectable, succulent bites. Serve it up on buns with coleslaw, and you've got yourself a winner. Keep Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub on hand and pick some up at Bill & Rod’s Appliance.
4. Grilled Sausages
Sausages are versatile, and there's something for everyone. Grill up a variety of sausages such as bratwurst, Italian, or chorizo, and serve them with an array of condiments and buns. It's a fan favorite for good reason.
5. Burgers
You can never go wrong with classic burgers. Season your ground beef or preferred meat, fire up the grill, and cook them to your desired level of doneness. Offer a variety of toppings for your guests to create their perfect burger. Bill & Rod’s Appliance carries the Bruger Rub from Traeger for the ultimate burger seasoning.
6. Grilled Veggie Skewers
Vegetarian options at your tailgate are essential. Create a medley of grilled veggie skewers with bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and your choice of seasonings. A brush of olive oil adds a savory, smoky touch. Believe it or not there is a Veggie Rub from Traeger and it is fantastic!
7. Smoked Ribs
Ribs are synonymous with finger-licking goodness and smoking them on a Traeger grill takes them to a whole new level. Season with a flavorful rub, let them smoke to perfection, and serve them up with a side of barbecue sauce. It's a touchdown for your taste buds. Try the Pork & Poultry Rub from Traeger for the right mix of spices, available at Bill & Rod’s Appliance.
8. Grilled Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob is a simple and delicious side that's perfect for grilling. Add some butter, salt, and pepper, and let the Traeger infuse it with a delightful smoky flavor that will have your guests coming back for more. The Veggie Rub from Traeger is perfect for corn on the cob.
9. Loaded Nachos
Create a nacho bar that will leave your guests cheering. Offer up tortilla chips, melted cheese, and an assortment of toppings such as jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. For those who crave a bit more, you can even add grilled chicken or beef to take it up a notch. When cooking up the meat for your nachos be sure to try the Fajita Rub from Traeger that Bill & Rod’s Appliance keeps in stock.
