Game Day

Carne Asada Fries

Carne Asada Fries Are a Tex Mex spin on loaded french fries. Marinated, grilled carne asada is sliced and served on top of seasoned fries with a cheesy sauce and all the toppings of your choice! The ULTIMATE party food!
If loaded fries are your thing make sure to try out my Skillet Frachos! Very similar vibes with ground beef!
Why Are These the Best Carne Asada Fries?

My marinade recipe for the steak is UNMATCHED.

19 Hosting Essentials for the Big Game

Heads up: Food52 earns a commission on qualifying purchases of the products we link to.
Let’s face it: Whether you’re a football fan or just at the party to hang around the snack table, game days can almost be like mini holidays. People crowd into one room, every nearby surface is overflowing with hors d’oeuvres or drinks placed on mismatched coasters and napkins, and you’re quickly reminded of just how much seating you have in your home. The differentiating factor between a non-sports-related holiday and a game day is the sound of your go-to playlist is replaced by the sound of cheers (or groans, depending on who’s winning) filling the rooms as the teams play.

The Easiest, Cheesiest Skillet Dip for When You Need a Killer App, STAT

This cheesy skillet dip is not so much a recipe as it is a description of the last-ditch attempt I regularly make to be a good dinner party host. A lifeboat made of melted cheese, if you will. Perhaps this sequence of events sounds familiar: you invite a handful of guests to a dinner party. You plan an intricate menu, hit the grocery store with time to spare, and get your entrée marinating (or braising, or pickling…) without a hitch. Then, mere moments before your friends arrive—glass of relaxed-host-of-the-century wine in hand—it hits. The realization that you forgot to plan snacks of any sort. No beautifully arranged cheese board, no adorable finger foods puffing up in the oven. Read More >> …
