These aren’t your average baked potatoes - these are a unique tailgate party food idea. Start by baking them on your Big Green Egg, letting the indirect heat soften them to perfection while infusing that signature wood & charcoal-smoked aroma. Then, scoop out the insides, mix them with cheese, bacon, and sour cream, and stuff them back in for a second round on the smoker. The result? Crispy-skinned, cheesy goodness with a subtle smoky kick that’ll have everyone grabbing one (or two).

No game day is complete without wings, and these are next-level AND an easy BBQ recipe for a crowd. Toss your chicken wings in cornstarch and Traeger Chicken Rub, then smoke them at 225°F on your Woodridge Traeger grill until they’re tender. Crank up the heat to crisp the skin, then toss them in a fiery Buffalo sauce made with hot sauce, spicy mustard, and melted butter. The result? Smoky, spicy, and perfectly balanced wings that pair perfectly with a cold beer and game day energy.

Why settle for the oven when you can take your taco dip to the grill? Build this cheesy masterpiece with layers of seasoned taco meat, cream cheese, cheddar, and your favorite toppings, then place it on the new 2025 Napoleon Prestige BBQ over indirect heat. The grill adds a subtle smoky depth to the cheese and gives the dip a golden, bubbly crust that’s impossible to resist. Serve it with tortilla chips, and watch it disappear before the first quarter is over.

These jalapeño poppers are a game day classic taken to new heights on the BBQ. Stuff fresh jalapeños with a mix of cream cheese and shredded cheddar, then wrap them in bacon and smoke them on the Weber Charcoal Grill at 250°F. As they cook, the bacon crisps up while the smoky heat infuses every bite. They’re spicy, cheesy, smoky perfection—and they disappear fast, so make extra!

Pulled pork is the ultimate BBQ staple, and the Traeger PRO 780 makes it easier than ever. Rub your pork shoulder with a flavorful BBQ rub, then smoke it low and slow at 225°F for hours until it’s fall-apart tender. Shred the pork, toss it in tangy BBQ sauce, and pile it onto toasted buns. It’s the kind of sandwich that gets people talking long after the game is over.
