If you are like many of my friends, you look forward to fall because it signals the start of football season. While you may not watch football yourself, the food that comes along with tailgating and Sunday afternoon football can be mouthwatering and beyond compare.  Nothing says fall to me more than the smell of brats on the grill and the sound of men yelling at a TV in another room!

My husband is not a sports fan (Lucky for me!), but he does love Buffalo Chicken and I think may even consider it a food group.  So I am always on the lookout for great recipes that are easy to make and taste great.  I had the opportunity to try two  recipes that included Swanson Chicken and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce that were passed on to me from the Campbell’s Kitchen, and they were a big hit. Even my little one thought it tasted pretty good (mind you she’s 4, but enjoys food that is on the spicy side of life).

So, if you find yourself in the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon, with your football hero in the living room rooting for their favorite team and you are searching for something to make, I highly recommend whipping up some Buffalo Chicken dip and Buffalo Chicken pizza and you’ll be more popular than the half-time cheerleaders (Not to mention you will save yourself from spending the whole afternoon in the kitchen catering to a bunch of men yelling at a TV).

Here is the recipe for the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (download the recipe).  I highly recommend it, even for non-game night!
