Make the Football Charcuterie Board for your next football watching party. Whether it's the big game or just a normal game day, this is a crowd pleasing, easy to make appetizer that everyone with love, perfect for college or professional football. Root for your favorite team with a delicious meat and cheese platter.
Cut spicy jack cheese into approximated ½ inch cubes. Cut swiss cheese into rectangles and then into square and then into triangles.
On the cheese board, use the cubes of spicy jack cheese to make the upright portion of the field goal posts. Use the spicy jack cheese to make 1-2 rows for each portion.
Use the triangles of swiss cheese to form squares and make the post for the field goal post. Again, you can double up the amount of cheese to make it all fit.
To the right of the post (swiss cheese part) add salami slices in rows and fill in that area.
Do the same with the pepperoni on the other side of the board. Add pepperoni slices in rows and fill in that area.
Slice summer sausage into coins and remove the casing. Cut each piece in half to make a half moon and add to the cheese board above the pepperoni and to the left of the uprights (made of spicy jack cheese).
Slice pickles into bite sized pieces and add to the opposite side from the summer sausage.
Between the uprights, add in one layer of crackers and fill in the remaining area with small bite sized pretzels.
FInally, add the spicy peanuts along the bottom of the board.
