‘Tis the season for football and I have a recipe for a super quick and easy game time appetizer to share with you!

We just bought and moved into a new home nearly 100 miles away from where we lived. On top of a mountain! We’re exhausted!
One way Clay likes to unwind is by relaxing in his recliner and watching some football. He’s been working pretty much non-stop along with the big move so he hasn’t had a lot of time to relax. Sunday’s have pretty much been his only days to sit down and that’s only after hauling water, getting some groceries for the week and doing chores around the house.
Then…. we finally get to sit and chill. I’m not so much of a football fan but I do enjoy sitting with him while he watches a big game. I usually make up some game time appetizers and the kids, Clay and I munch during the game. It’s fun!
Two of my go-to ingredients are Coca-Cola and Ritz Crackers.
One of the few stores near us (still 30 miles away) is Walmart. So that’s where we usually head to stock up on food and snacks. I keep Coca-Cola and Ritz Crackers in my pantry at all times! These are staples for me. My mama ALWAYS had Ritz Crackers on hand and they were set out for nay and every gathering. I have great memories of eating those buttery little bites of goodness with a big ‘ole hunk of cheese. MmmHmm!
Not only do we drink Coca-Cola but we cook with it too and it is included in my game time appetizer recipe, below.
Ok, so what is this recipe I keep talking about?
Game Time Kielbasa Bites!
These are SO EASY to make and only take a few minutes. In a short time I can whip up a snack that is warm, cheesy and delicious.
I use skinless Kielbasa and slice into bite sizes pieces. Then I saute it off in a pan with a little Coca-Cola. My mom always used it to flavor a ham so I had the idea to try it in this recipe and it added so much great flavor.
Then, with half of the pieces, I add a slice of the Kielbasa to a Ritz Cracker, top with a slice of Colby/Jack cheese and Roma tomato. For the other half, instead of the Colby/Jack cheese, I use chive flavored cream cheese and the tomato. They are so good!
If you don’t want to assemble them all or if your guests are picky about their toppings, just get them all ready and set it out buffet style. Everyone can top them how they like. 😉
