Football season is in full swing, and with that comes weekends spent huddled around the television watching your favorite teams face off at the 50-yard line. No matter who you're rooting for on the field, it's important to have a spread of touchdown-worthy eats on the sidelines of your living room to celebrate game day. While most tailgates feature a buffet of beer, spicy wings and fried jalapeno peppers — three decidedly un-kid-friendly items — it's indeed possible to pull off a family-oriented menu. When cooking for fans of all ages, stick to tried-and-true favorites plus finger food classics, and if you're concerned about the heat levels in any dish, simply adjust the spice to taste. Check out Food Network's top-five family-friendly tailgate recipes below to find a mix of sweet and savory picks that are sure to win cheers from your guests.
