Slow-simmered chili ladled over pasta with an assortment of toppings including shredded Cheddar cheese, fresh-chopped tomatoes, diced red onions, sour cream, ripe diced avocados and tortilla chips.

Why try? Wow the tailgate crowd with an impressive chili buffet with lots of topping choices so everyone can customize their own creation.

Foodie Byte:
For the machismo in everyone: display on the buffet table an assortment of bottled hot sauces such as cayenne pepper sauce, Tabasco® or fiery habanero sauce so everyone can adjust their own heat level. Add spicy topping choices such as shredded jalapeno pepper jack cheese and spicy seasoned corn chips to the buffet line-up for the “fire-breathers” in the crowd.
