I have been talking about Game Day Grub a lot lately but let’s be real; its that time of the year people!! Are you ready to host a great Game Day for your family and friends. Over the last year I have found a love for baking and cooking but sometimes I would rather find “semi-homemade” recipes so I can enjoy our company rather than my kitchen.
Well the moment I got home my creative cook that hides in my head jump out! I couldn’t just serve frozen rings and fries! I needed something else, something better, something that my guests would be talking about for days! Guess what – I scored the first touchdown with these little treats that pack a traditional favorite in a perfect onion ring tower! Delicious!
Oh yes friends, you are reading that right….

To make these towers Football ready I found some cute football toothpicks that sit perfectly in the Green Bean Casserole. So cute and a total twist on Game Day Grub. I do not know many people that are not fans of Green Bean Casserole so I pretty much think this is a hit for any occasion but it was a huge surprise to our football watching guests.
Since I got creative with the Onion Rings I felt like I HAD to do something creative for those perfect crinkle cut fries. Nom!! I decided to bring a little family culture to our homegating experience and by culture I mean Mayo!!
Time for a little background. Jeremy’s sister moved to Amsterdam close to 12 years ago, since then she has married a native Dutchman and had two adorable kiddos. Well, in Amsterdam there is a slight obsession with Mayo on Fries. You can pretty much find them anywhere when visiting – my mayo loving husband had this on his wishlist of things to do when we visited years ago. So we did it – we put TONS of mayonnaise on our fries and guess what? Fantastic!! To take these Alexia Crinkle Cut French Fries to the next level, I passed on the ketchup, ranch and mustard and went straight for the mayo BUT gave that Mayo a Spanish flair!
Saffron Mayonnaise
Free printable recipe here.
Ingredients:
2 TBSP water
1/2 tsp saffron threads
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp minced garlic
Directions:
1. In the smallest sauce pan you can find, bring the water and saffron to a boil. Believe me, the water will boil and it will not take long.
2. Once boiling, set aside for 10 minutes to let the saffron release color and flavor.
3. In a small mixing bowl combine mayo, lemon juice and garlic Whisk quickly to combine completely.
4. Gradually add saffron water and whisk together.
5. Use as a dipping sauce or pour over fries. Enjoy!

Sure this spread might not be your traditional Game Day feast but I guarantee your guests will not be complaining! Time to step outside the box and get creative with some semi-homemade Game Time Grub recipes.
When thinking outside the box what kind of treats and recipes have you come up with in your kitchen?
First off I love that brand Alexia, always so good. Seriously. Plus I LOVE green bean casserole so that is something I am going to try asap.
I am a huge Alexia fan, plus they have great coupons often. Also ingenious idea to put green bean casserole in the onion rings.
YUM!! I already love their products, but now I can make them even better. Pinning the green bean one, that looks yummy! 🙂
We love these products. I need to make these for our Super Bowl party.
I love Alexia sweet potato fries, I bet these 2 products are good too – I'll have to get them and try them out!
Those stuffed onion ring towers sound ah-mazing. I need to try those.
That is AWESOME! I love onion rings and this is a way I've never thought of having them. This just made by big game menu. Thanks!!
This is such a FANTASTIC idea. I am totally jealous that I didn't think of it. Definitely trying this one.
Way to go with this out of the box idea with the green been casserole, would never have thought of it being served this way. great work.
These look so good. I love Alexia sweet potato fries.
those looks so good. I love the unique idea of a green bean casserole tower. Must try this.
These look delicious! I pinned your post to make as a side dish – I am positive my hubby will love them
Ooh, those look delicious! My whole family would love them!

What a cute idea! This looks so tasty!

This looks amazing. I can't wait to try it!
This looks like an awesome snack. I saw crinkle cut fries and immediately started salivating. It's been a while since I’ve made a green bean casserole. This is a great alternative!
Oh that is a fantastic and creative idea. I love it and purfect for a party.
I love this! Especially those Green Bean Stackers! YUM!

How fun! The green bean stuffed onion rings are perfect for Super Bowl parties!
I think that all looks so yummy. I'd devour them all, but my kids would turn up their noses – as usual!
Those towers are so cool!!
YUMMY…My green bean casserole has watercress in it for extra crunch and a package of lipton onion soup mix and finally 4 oz cream cheese…..I will so be doing the onion ring stacks with my casserole. My husband will think he went to heaven.
Doing the Green bean stacker tonight YUMMY
how do you keep the green bean stuff from falling out the bottom of the stacker when you remove them from the cookie sheet?
I do not like cream of mushroom soup, or anything else with mushrooms. So I substituted Duke's mayo, because I have always liked green beans with mayo and onions. Tastes delicious.
What a cool idea! Love this – can't wait to try it myself!
yuk…..double yuk! If I'm going to eat calories I want Fresh and Fantastic tasting Food….FFF all the way
This looks so amazing it literally made my mouth water! We have traditional green bean casserole for every holiday but I think I'll mix it up next time and try this!
Ooh, those look so unhealthy but SO good! I'm going to have to make those at least once!
Awesome presentation with the onion rings. This all looks so yummy and I'm excited to add these recipes to our game day recipe lineup! #client
