Coming off the Packers' big win against the Chicago Bears last night, it's safe to say you're probably more excited than ever about the upcoming football season. And of course, tailgating goes right along with the game itself. Beth Schaefer with the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board joined us in studio on Sunrise 7 to share some delicious and surprisingly easy tailgating treats made with real Wisconsin cheese.
