These carb-loaded, meat-and-veggie-bursting, extra-cheesy breads are basically the ultimate tailgating party food. They're similar to strombolis, but less reliant on tomato sauce — so we turned our favorite dishes (pulled pork, shrimp scampi, roasted Brussels sprouts and more) into succulent, savory fillings. Store-bought pizza dough makes the construction easy, so you have plenty of time to prep before the game starts. Serve the breads sliced into wedges so party guests can eat them with a cold drink in hand.

Sweet and smoky barbecue sauce and sharp cheddar transform pulled pork in this bread, but barbecued brisket or chicken would also make party guests' mouths water.

Crumbled bacon and breakfast sausage mingle with Tater Tots, eggs and melted American cheese in this dish, which is reminiscent of a breakfast sandwich or burrito. Serve it with lots of hot sauce or ketchup for early-morning tailgating or for a portable breakfast on a camping trip.

Smoked Gouda and sharp cheddar cheeses are delicious in this vegetarian garbage bread stuffed with crisp roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Serve this to a group on a nippy fall day. It's the perfect snack after picking apples or going on a hayride.
