The classic potato skins appetizer gets a BBQ twist! Savory beef BBQ on top of crispy and cheesy potato skins – perfect for game day or a great snack!
Up your game day snacks… instead of regular potato skins, try these loaded beef bbq potato skins! Easy to make, fun to eat, they’ll be the star of your party.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of LLOYD’S® Barbeque Company, LLC.. All opinions are 100% mine.
Who’s ready for some football?! I love football season, not only for the games, but for the FOOD! Party food and snacks are some of the best foods around, and I never get tired of eating them.
One of my favorites is loaded potato skins… I order them as an appetizer in just about every restaurant I can… they’re just so GOOD. But these loaded BBQ potato skins… well they’re even better!
Cheesy, crispy, loaded with flavor and really easy to make! Doesn’t that sound like the perfect snack?
Now of course, if you have some leftover shredded barbeque meat, by all means, use that. But if you’re like me, and you don’t have any leftovers, and have no desire to wait 4+ hours for some barbeque… Lloyd’s Meats are a fantastic alternative!
Lloyd’s Barbeque Tubs come in a bunch of flavors… beef, chicken, pork, in just about any sauce you’d like. You can be having amazing tasting barbeque in about 5 minutes. That’s hard to beat!
So flavorful, yet so easy!
The next time you want a great snack and feel like thinking outside the box a little bit, I hope you guys give these a try… I know you’ll love them!

I would suffer through a football game to eat a few of these. I didn’t get the football gene. But that jalapeno is calling me! Thanks for linking up at #SaucySaturdays.

Kaila (GF Life 24/7) says
I just love all the colors in this dish, and you’re pictures are just beautiful. The flavor combinations sounds perfect for fall or football season. I must admit that I love watching a football game because I grew up with it, but the brain injuries from football also drive me insane. It’s kind of a dilemma, but the food… well, I have no problem with the food! Happy FF, and have a wonderful weekend. 😀
The Chunky Chef says
Thank you so much Kaila!! I know what you mean, some of the injuries are just plain scary. Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well 😀
