When I say “Game Day” you all know what I mean, right? It’s football time!!
Game day extends past one day at our house to pretty much any day football is on. Some days friends or family join us in front of the TV (us meaning my husband and son) other days its just us. Either way, the best part about game day for me is the food!
You know who makes game day food pretty great? Alexia foods. Remember them? I worked with Alexia last year on a recipe challenge to create a new fry flavor. I’m excited to share that I’m working with them again and will be using some of their products over the next several months to make meal time and game time easier!
(In addition to their popular varieties of fries, Alexia also has a great lineup of appetizers and artisan breads. Make sure to check out all their products on their webpage!)
Things are always a little nutty around our house and because of that, I am a huge fan of products that can make my life a little easier. For our most recent game day watching, I used Alexia Sweet Potato bites to re-invent sweet potato casserole, in a bite sized form. Super simple to make and a delicious appetizer to pass around during the game, Sweet Potato Casserole Bites are a fun bite sized app sure to be a hit with game day fans.
Here’s a little video and the recipe is below, so I hope you’ll check it out. Before that though, I have a great giveaway going on from Alexia that I think you’ll love.

I recently tried the Alexia wheat rolls and they were out of this world. These little sweet potato casserole bites are such a great idea, so out of the ordinary.
Oooh, I love sweet potatoes so much! I would take those sweet potato tater tots, wrap a piece of candied bacon around them and serve them with a sour cream/Greek yogurt-type sauce with just a bit of maple syrup and maybe some hot sauce to give it a zing? Mmmm!
Chili cheese sweet potato fries. Mmm.
My family loves the spicy sweet potato fries along with some cool and creamy dipping sauce!
Love sweet potatoe fries. Didn’t know Alexia made Sweet Potatoe Bites. Will definitely have to try these.
We’re not big on watching sports at our house (my husband does keep up with sports news on ESPN, but that’s about it.) However those sweet potato bites look delicious – I’m going to have to look for them next time I’m at the store! Here’s hoping that I can find them in our small town…

Sweet potatoes are a favorite of my husband and stepdaughter. This is a definite
“must try” appetizer!
Yum but I think I’ll swap out the onion for BACON!!
That’s what I thought the onion was when I first saw this. I was thinking of making that swap myself.
These look great I am also going to try them wrapped in bacon- one of our favorite things to do with Alexia’s regular ones- althought the sweet potato crinkle cuts- I Love anything Sweet potato–Thanks Alexia’s for m aking them so easy!

From the photo, I thought the onion was bacon. I think I’m going to give these a shot with everything the same but using bacon {brown sugar and all} instead of the onion. Sounds–and looks!–delicious!
What a great idea!
You won’t be able to eat these fast enough!! They are Ah-MAAAAAZING!!!!
These look absolutely amazing. Genius! I can not wait to try this recipe….I wish I could have them right this second! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Just made these… oh hells yes! I would have NEVER thought marshmallows and onion would go together, but they are yummy! We are doing appetizers and desserts for Christmas dinner, but they have to have a component of traditional Christmas dinner…. perfect!!!
Love anything with Haas avocados. I must try this. Maybe it will be this weekend.
