No. 6: Martina McBride’s Smoked Paprika Almonds
Peanuts are the standard ballpark snack, but we’re mixing it up by bringing you Martina McBride’s sophisticated-but-super-simple smoked paprika almonds.
And a trip to any sporting event isn’t complete without nachos. And Rachael’s delicious take on the classic snack adds crispy bacon – yum!
No. 8: Wayne Sargent's 'The Ultimate Bratwurst'
These flavor-packed, juicy brats are actually boiled in beer before being grilled. Nothing will say “summer” and “ballgame” like this!
