Is your apartment rental the perfect place for a game day party? If so, consider which appetizers you’ll serve guests while watching their favorite football teams square off. Not only are these dishes tasty, but they can also be easily prepared in any kitchen.

3 Game Day Appetizers Perfect for Hosting at Your Apartment Rental

1. Pepperoni Football

Get creative with your apps by crafting your very own pepperoni football. All you need is some pepperoni and a healthy portion of cream cheese (about two 8 oz. blocks should suffice). Mix the cream cheese with other ingredients of your choosing (such as red pepper flakes for a bit of spice) and mold the mixture into a football-like shape. Adorn with pepperoni and sliced cheese (to create the laces), serve with crackers, and you’re all set!

2. Nachos

Nachos are perfect for game day parties, and they can be whipped up easily within the confines of your apartment. Start with a base of delectable tortilla chips and let your culinary imagination run wild. Chicken, beef, cheese, and even bacon are all popular toppings. You might also heap on the sour cream and jalapenos for an authentic kick.

3. Slow-Cooked Meatballs

If you’re lucky enough to have a slow-cooker in your apartment rental, consider giving meatballs a whirl. Go the traditional route with beef, or opt for ground chicken for something a bit lighter without sacrificing any flavor. Mix your meat with bread crumbs, spices of your choosing, and one egg for the best results. Once you’re satisfied with your concoction, throw the meatballs into the slow-cooker on low for at least six to eight hours before you’re ready to serve.
