Tailgate Chili Bar | The Southern Table – Episode 224

Game Day hosting made easy with a delicious homemade chili bar! Kick your favorite chili recipe up a notch with all the fixings so your guests can make it their way! Erin and Kelli show you how easy it is to set up and serve this game-winning spread.

List of Supplies:

  • Serving pieces: silver thrifted pieces and wooden charcuterie boards of various sizes
  • Disposable items: paper touchdown runner, paper napkins and football themed serving cups (craft store)
  • Food from Ingles Markets: chili, cornbread muffins, crackers, tortilla chips, pico-de-gallo, chopped jalapeños, shredded cheese, cilantro, green onions, sour cream, chips.

How To:

Start by layering your table with linens and paper runner. Build out serving pieces to allow for self serving station. We placed the wooden pieces down first, then added silver bowls and serving pieces. The chili is the star of the show so we added that to the center for easy access for serving, and then added all toppings in remainder of bowls. We also stacked the corn bread muffins together and filled other bowls with chips. We used disposable cups for serving to make clean up easy!
