For me, convenience is so important when I’m making game-day foods. That’s one of the reasons I like to use Johnsonville sausage in my recipes; they’re already fully spiced and easy to cook with, saving me time! Here’s what I would submit if I were on the show, my slow cooker brat & beer cheese dip. It’s perfect for dipping warm pretzels in!

The dip makes a nice game day food because it’s hearty enough to help compensate if I run out of other foods.
