Touchdown! It is finally football season! The days of weekly watch parties are upon us, where we all gather around the TV with a bowl of snacks on our laps and cheer loudly for our favorite team.

Whether it’s chips, pizza, or wings, game night is not complete without the right grub. Our game-time snack of choice is hands-down chips and dip. Specifically, guacamole dip. I mean, what’s better than crunchy tortilla chips and guac?

This is why we are kicking off the season by teaming up with our first pick team—the Los Angeles Rams—to deliver these winning guacamole recipes. There is no dip as tasty as this Kicked Up Poblano & Peppered Bacon Guacamole or Field Goal Fruity Guacamole. Trust us, they definitely won’t fumble your football gathering.

Just like the Los Angeles Rams, these guacamole recipes will definitely make the crowd go wild!
