🔥 5 Simple BBQ Side Dishes – Perfect for Football Sunday 🏈🔥We’re big-time football fans, and nothing goes better with game day than a BBQ feast. Hosting Sunday Football BBQs has become a tradition for us, and over the years, we’ve learned one thing:
People love bringing side dishes.
We’ll throw one main dish on the grill and somehow end up with 27 sides—and honestly, that’s what makes it great. A mix of flavors, a table full of food, and a backyard full of friends—it doesn’t get better than that.
Here are five of our go-to BBQ side dishes that are easy to make, loaded with flavor, and guaranteed to be crowd-pleasers at your next Football Sunday cookout.

​🔥 2. Ono Poppers – Pineapple & Cream Cheese Jalapeño Poppers
✔ Bacon-wrapped, stuffed with pineapple & cream cheese, and glazed with bourbon BBQ sauce.
✔ A perfect mix of smoky, sweet, spicy, and creamy flavors.
✔ We call them “Ono Poppers” because “Ono” means “Delicious” in Hawaiian.
💡 Pro Tip: Try using Fresno chilies instead of jalapeños for a slightly milder heat with a bit of sweetness.

✔ Crispy, golden potato skins loaded with melted cheese, bacon, and green onions.
✔ Perfect for dipping in sour cream, ranch, or BBQ sauce.
✔ An easy-to-make, always-a-hit BBQ side dish.
💡 Pro Tip: Bake or grill the potato skins twice—once to crisp them up, then again after adding toppings. This keeps them from getting soggy.
