The ultimate fancy appetizer, Grilled Ribeye and Roasted Pepper Bruschetta served on top of crunchy grilled bread and a whipped goat cheese spread!
Many thanks to Walmart and Kingsford charcoal for their sponsorship of this post.
Growing up in Wisconsin I was no stranger to the tailgating atmosphere.
If you go to a Milwaukee Brewers Game, Wisconsin Badgers game, or especially Green Bay Packers game tailgating was how you mentally prepared yourself for the game. Or at least thats what I was told.
Tailgating is a must!
How do Wisconsinite’s prepare for the big game?
Beer. Cheese. Brats. Burgers.
That about sums it up. Pretty plain and simple right?
Well, now that I married and have my own way of doing things when we throw a “tailgating” or football party I am anything but plain in my menu.
Now don’t get me wrong, I still like a good Old Fashion Beer Brat. But sometimes its just fun to up your game a bit and bring out the food “big guns”. Which is what I’m doing today!
If your tailgating, your gonna get the eye if you bring a gas grill with you.
Who does that? Um… no one!
When you’re tailgating you bring your small Weber grill and Kingsford Charcoal! Those are basically the “haves” of the tailgating industry. Plus there is no way to compare the flavor you get from charcoal, it basically blows gas grills out of the water.
Only downfall is it takes a while for the coals to warm up, but thats why you have a beer. Right? It helps with the waiting game. 🙂
So back to the “up your game” tailgating recipe I have for ya’ll today.
Are you ready? Your gonna need to brace yourself because this recipe is the bomb.
Its Grilled Ribeye & Roasted Pepper Bruschetta with Whipped Goat Cheese! {mouth dropping in utter shock}
I know right! The crunch bread, creamy goat cheese, tender Ribeye, and sweet grilled roasted peppers, yup… its amazing!
Believe me it is just as good as it sounds and seriously super easy. Best part is, everything is made on the grill except for the whipped goat cheese of course. 🙂 And you can get all of the ingredients, including the charcoal, for a steal at Walmart! Do you like deals, because I know I do!
So the next time you have a tailgating party and decide to just make burgers. Take a step outside the “same old same old” box and take your tailgating part to the next level.
Make this Grilled Ribeye & Roasted Pepper Brushetta with Whipped Goat Cheese. I promise it will deliver in flavor!
