Easy game day skillets #Gametime

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this before, but my son has a sports app on his iPad, and this means that he gets ALL the sports updates. ALL OF THEM!!!! **Sigh He is also a talker. The neighbor calls him the town crier because he makes sure the whole neighborhood knows about anything going on.

Anyway, my son comes by it honestly, as his dad is also a huge sports fanatic. With a son and a husband who loves football, homegating food is a must at our house. We are definitely going to be watching the Big Game, and I will be making a spread to enjoy it with.

Game Day Skillets side by side

I have been experimenting to get ready for the game, because even though I don’t usually watch too much of the game, I love to eat. I love the commercials. And I love spending time with my family and friends. So I have to make amazing food, like these meatballs, or these sliders.

I want to sit in the comfort of my own living room, not having to worry about sun glare, or cold winds, or obnoxious drunk fans spilling on me. So my homegating party has to have good grub! But I wasn’t satisfied just yet. As far as I am concerned, the perfect homegating food has to be something I want to eat and that is easy to make, and totally acceptable to eat with your hands, while being a meal, not just a snack.

And so the birth of the game day skillets!

I went to Walmart and picked up some Alexia frozen fries and onion rings. They make it super easy to get these skillets done in no time. Alexia offers a range of products like crinkle fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. And they are perfect for these game day skillets as they are so versatile and high quality.

I used the onion rings to make fajita skillets, and oh my gosh. I am pretty sure I will be making these on a regular basis, they are fantastic! And really easy to make too!

fajita skillet

Basically you marinate the beef, cook it in your skillet with your peppers and mushrooms, while your onion rings are baking, then you toss them all together in the skillet, and top with your favorite toppings! So much flavor, and really delicious!

marinating beef

The fajita marinade is awesome, and one nice thing is you can make it in advance and let your beef marinate so it gets tender. But if you run out of time, just marinate for at least an hour.
