This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Dr Pepper®. Game Day Greats brought to you by Kroger. The opinions and text are all mine.
Raise your hand if you love Dr Pepper® – even though you can’t see me, know that my arms would both be waving madly in the air right then. It’s no secret whatsoever that I have a mad love for this yummy beverage, and any excuse to use it in my celebrations! With college football upon us, I thought it’d be fun to share how you can throw an amazing home-gating party – with plenty of delish foods – with these 4 Amazing Dr Pepper® Recipes for Game Day!
Now, to save us all from a SUPER long post and having anyone get the ingredient lists messed up, here I’m showing you my complete Dr Pepper® themed football spread, along with one of the recipes. I’ll link up the other THREE fabulous recipes so you can hit them all and be the winner of the game – or at least of the game party! Don’t forget to hit up Kroger for all your Game Day Greats items and get plenty of Dr Pepper®!
This Dr Pepper® Hot Dog Sauce is so finger-licking good, and you can find all SORTS of foods to put it on, not just some good ol’ hot dogs! It’s tangy, but not necessarily spicy. Scoop it over your dogs with some of your favorite toppings like pickles, and chow down while rooting for your favorite college team!
Ingredients
- 1/2 stick Butter
- 1/4 cup Yellow Onion, chopped
- 3 tbsp. Garlic, minced
- 12-ounce can of Dr Pepper®
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 tbsp. Tomato Paste
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, cook the onion and butter over medium heat until the onions are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, stirring well. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue simmering until the sauce starts to thicken, about 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool a bit before enjoying over your game day hot dogs!
To go along with your mouth-watering dogs, don’t forget these Spicy Dr Pepper® Chicken Strips (or wings, your choice). The flavor is amazing, and it’s another great lick-your-finger good game food!
I also really enjoy some classic crackers such as Town House® crackers, Club® Crackers, and Cheez-It® crackers to dip in either the hot dog topping sauce (told you it was versatile!) or even in some leftover spicy chicken sauce!
You can’t REALLY have a home-gating party without something sweet to finish things off – so why not these Dr Pepper® Donut Muffins? I don’t know which is better, the muffins themselves or the Dr Pepper® Glaze on top. Together, it’s a winning team! Plus, super easy to make – more time to watch your team!
Finish everything off either with an always-amazing, one of a kind Dr Pepper® drink – or try something NEW like this CREAMY Dr Pepper® Mocktail!
Now you’ve got a WINNING spread of game-worthy foods to turn the biggest football fans, into YOUR biggest fans! Don’t forget to check out your local Kroger for an in-store sweepstakes with Miller Coors®/Kellogg’s®/Dr Pepper® for fly away trips to Rivalry Games. See store for details.
