Batter up! It’s time for some baseball, and that means it’s also time for brews, dogs, and finger-licking ballpark food favorites. These iconic foods don’t have to wait until the next time you’re at the ballpark. Fire up the grill, invite over some friends, and bring the game right into your living room!
Start the festivities off right by setting up a designated ballpark food station, complete with party plates and tableware matching the home team’s colors. This setup will make it easy for your guests to grab a plate and start snacking—it also keeps them out of the kitchen!
Next, the menu! Every great ballpark is known for its specialty food. Put a spin on the traditional hot dog and slide into home plate with these Kosher Italian Beef Topped Chicago Dogs. Grilled-to-perfection Hebrew National® Beef Franks are topped with an Italian mix of peppers, roast beef, and pickles, and stuffed into delicious poppy seed buns.
Pro tip: It’s not baseball season without caramel popcorn! Get on everybody’s sweet side with Orville Redenbacher’s® Poppycock® Popcorn, made with clusters of almonds, pecans, and gourmet popcorn covered in a sweet glaze.
Include a power hitter at the party! Not an actual baseball player, but none other than these tasty Kung Pao Chicken Tenders. Chicken tenders are lightly breaded with crispy panko bread crumbs, panfried, and served with a sweet and spicy Kung Pao dipping sauce. Talk about spicing up the lineup!
Pro tip: Spice up the party even more with Slim Jim® Snack Sticks. Kids will especially love the grab-and-go snack in between playing games in the yard. Buy them now here.
Want to change up your classic nachos? These impressive Cuban Carnitas Nachos are topped with slow-cooked tender pork, shredded Swiss cheese, prosciutto, pickle slices, and a tangy mustard sauce. Better make extra, because they’re sure to go fast.
Baseball is known for serving up franks, so you’d better bring your A game with these Grilled Franks with Cider Braised Onions. Topped with hard-cider-braised onions and spicy brown mustard, then served in yummy pretzel buns, they’re sure to be a home run.
Pro tip: Add another ballpark staple to your party menu—popcorn! Serve Angie’s® BOOMCHICKAPOP® ready-to-eat popcorn in individual popcorn bags. Buy them now here.
Want to serve something that’s typically not on the roster? Throw a curveball at the traditional ballpark food with these Carnitas Pork Walking Tacos. Topped with grilled pineapple, avocado, and crumbled queso fresco—and served in paper cones—everyone will be an instant fan.
