Top 12+ recipes to make while you watch the Masters

They're a hole in one!

Held in Augusta, Georgia every year since its inception in 1934, The Masters is considered one of the most prestigious golf tournament in the world. Steeped in history and tradition, it's the only major played at the same course every year. Golf fans, or "patrons" as they're called at Augusta, flock to watch the elite, invite-only field compete for the illustrious Green Jacket.

As with all sports, there is always the food element, and The Masters' iconic concessions stand does not disappoint. It features a simple Southern-inspired menu that has remained largely unchanged for decades. It's famous for its low prices—patrons can get a full meal for under $10!

In honor of this storied springtime tradition, we've pulled together a collection of recipes that you would find at the concessions. Legendary tournament sandwiches like Pimento Cheese and Egg Salad, classic treats like Tomato Pie and Cheese Straws, and you can't get more on-theme than with a frosty pitcher of Arnold Palmers. It may be difficult to score badges, but you can at least get a taste of The Masters while you're watching from the comfort of your home.

Pimento Cheese

"In the American South, pimento cheese is personal. More than just a spreadable dip, this Southern snack food holds within it memories of summers at Grandmother's house, baby showers in a neighbor's home, and snacks on the beach, handcrafted by beloved family members." —Stephanie Burt, Recipe Developer

Quick and Easy Egg Salad Sandwich

"There is one more ingredient that will give your simple egg salad a special zing, and that is a dash of yellow curry powder. Not only will the curry powder give your egg salad sandwich a gentle spicy lift but it will also give it a bit more color as well." —Elise Bauer, Founder

Best Tomato Pie

"Here’s one of the best-loved recipes on Simply Recipes—tomato pie! Perfect at the peak of summer tomato season. It’s a savory pie, not sweet, filled with fresh garden tomatoes, sprinkled with basil, and held together with a mixture of mayonnaise and shredded cheese." —Elise Bauer, Founder

Pulled Pork Sandwich

"Warm and spicy, pulled pork is the perfect dish for cooler weather (though we enjoy it any time of the year). This is my father's pulled pork sandwich recipe, and is, in my humble opinion, the best. We simmer pork shoulder (oddly also called pork 'butt') in the marinade sauce for a couple of hours until the meat is fall-apart tender. Then we remove the pork to shred it, reduce the sauce, and return the pork to the sauce." —Elise Bauer, Founder

Pecan Tassies (Pecan Pie Cookies)

"With all the buttery, flaky, nutty goodness of the classic, these cookies are little bite-sized versions of pecan pie. Pecan pie cookies, also known as pecan tassies, are sure to disappear fast." —Kayla Hoang, Recipe Developer

Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders

"Up the ante with a seriously mouthwatering compound butter, soft and fluffy slider buns, and plenty of ooey gooey cheese, and you’ve got a meal that your entire family will want over and over again." —Ross Yoder, Recipe Developer

Cheese Straws

"Cheese straws are a classic Southern snack. A cross between a cheese cracker and a savory cookie, they only take a few ingredients to make and are delicious served with wine." —Laurel Randolph, Associate Editorial Director

Arnold Palmer

"The Arnold Palmer is one of those perfect drinks. Made from just iced tea and lemonade, it’s sweet but with just enough sharpness from the lemons to balance it out—plus, it’s usually caffeinated. You can use homemade tea and lemonade and adjust them to your liking, or pick both up at the store and mix up a drink in minutes." —Elana Lepkowski, Contributor

Avocado Chicken Salad

"Avocado replaces the mayo in this quick and easy chicken salad with apple for a surprise crunch. The unexpected ingredient in this chicken salad is chopped apple. Apple brings sweetness, tartness, and crunch to the chicken salad, helping to round out the flavors." —Elise Bauer, Founder

Pecan Pralines

"The crunchy pecans and the rich, buttery sauce give them a distinct flavor that takes me straight back to the South, no matter where I am." —Steve-Anna Stephens, Recipe Developer

Ultimate Club Sandwich

"The club sandwich is a truly special thing. While it’s generally made with deli turkey, I like to roast a whole turkey breast and slice it thin for this ultimate version. Since the oven is on, it’s worth it to make some crispy bacon and a homemade roasted garlic aioli as well! Stacked high with vegetables and avocado, this layered sandwich is one of my favorites. I think you’ll enjoy it also!" —Nicke Evans, Recipe Developer
