Fall is coming and I couldn’t be more excited.

As much as I love the last lazy crazy days of summer, fall is the season that speaks to my soul.

Part of it is my love for autumn leaves, part of it is my love for all squash things, and part of it is my love for TAILGATING SEASON.

Yes, all caps are necessary when talking about tailgating season in August. Because it’s sooooo close. SO. close.

After kicking butt during my first official season of playing fantasy football (yes, I will always be boasting about this because helloooooooo it’s me), I have a whole new appreciation for football and even more so for tailgating after going to my first NFL game.

Now that we are moving into our house (!!!) at the beginning of football season, I foresee all the house-gating parties that will be happening and I am starting to pull together as many killersimple recipes as possible.

Case and point, we are starting with these epic stacked sliders featuring one of my favorite salsas EVER.

Hatch Green Chile Salsa.

Hatch green chiles are a big thing here in Colorado and when I found the hatch green chile salsa sitting on the shelves of my local Sprouts store, I almost lost my mind with glee. Sprouts captures the true spirit of some of the best green chiles I’ve had in Colorado, in salsa form.

The spice level and the rich bold flavor is so on point, it makes it the perfect thing to slowly cook chicken in!

The chicken ends up being ridiculously flavorful after slowly cooking in the hatch green chile salsa with just the right amount of heat. Piling it up with spicy pepper jack, sliced jalapeños and crunchy fried onions just makes it that much more DELISH.

It’s a ridiculously easy recipe to make so it won’t keep you away from the tailgating fun and you won’t miss a minute of the game!
