20 Gluten Free Game Day Recipes

I’ve never sat down and watched an entire football game in my life. But I’m also not one to turn down the opportunity to party. I have such fond memories of Game Day celebrations growing up. It didn’t really matter whose teams were playing as long as there was plenty of delicious food to go around.

You see, for me, ballgames are all about the food possibilities . . . cheesy dips, savory meatballs and rich morsels of fudge!

So if you’re hosting a Game Day Party this year, or if you’re attending and plan to bring along some nosh, I’ve collected some recipes for your culinary inspiration!

All of these recipes are gluten-free or easily adaptable.

  1. I LOVE this type of food! Terrific list. We don’t follow sports, therefore won’t be hosting any game day parties, but- we do host many poker nights! All of these dishes are perfect for that as well!

    Thank you for taking the time to compile such a wonderful list of gluten free recipes.

  2. Thank you for the list! I started searching for a GF spinach dip this morning. I looked at the ingredients of your caramelized onion spinach dip and just wanted to comment quickly. The Knorr soup mix is not gluten free. My husband has celiacs and if he were to eat that, he would be sick and out of work for a week. If you do some searching, you can find some spices to substitute for the Knorr. All of the other ingredients in it are fine 🙂 Again, thank you for the list!
