But a week’s worth of fried deliciousness is bound to catch up to you—fast. So, we rounded up seven fun dinners to prepare in their honor this week that boast all the football flair (and flavor) you crave, but with a few refined twists, so you’re not sluggish and bogged down by Wednesday.

Pantry Ingredients: vegetable oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, hot sauce, freshly ground black pepper, peanut oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, all-purpose flour, cumin, cayenne pepper

Monday: Sheet-pan Chilaquiles

Think of this minimal-mess dish as an Insta-worthy take on nachos. Trade neon nacho cheese sauce for crumbly cotija, then finish the dish off with sliced avocado, splashes of hot sauce and runny eggs.

Tuesday: 15-minute Skillet Pepper Steak

Add some onions to the pan for an Asian-inspired spin on cheesesteak filling. Pile it into hoagie rolls and broil them with cheese on top or serve over rice.

Wednesday: Crispy Cauliflower Tacos

These vegetarian handhelds star one football staple everyone can get behind: spicy, creamy homemade queso.

Thursday: Potato-chip ‘fried’ Chicken

Because you definitely have a few bags of chips on deck reserved for your famous French onion dip. Here, they serve as the breading for seven-ingredient, beyond-crispy drumsticks.

Friday: Loaded Baked Potato And Cauliflower Soup

Potato skins (aka baked potatoes covered in cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives) are a game day essential. This one-hour soup scratches the same itch as the app, but only calls for 15 minutes of prep.

Saturday: Everything Chicken Wings

Once you prepare the homemade spice mix (which works wonders on bagels, lox, vegetables and more), you’re a third of the way there. Start with premixed everything bagel seasoning to save time.

Sunday: 15-minute Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Everything’s better bite-size, no? These impossibly simple sammies are only 15 minutes away, thanks to store-bought shredded rotisserie chicken.
