20 Recipes for the Super Bowl
Where there is football, there is foodโand nothing beats the spread on Super Bowl Sunday. So whether you’re looking forward to the football game or the food (or both!), my team and I have gathered 20 Super Bowl Recipes that will score big on game day.
I always like to serve a few different dips, like beer cheese dip, crab dip, or garlic & bacon spinach dip. They’re all easy to prepare, loved by crowds, and best of all, they pair well with a variety of foods for dipping/scooping. Serve with veggies, a loaf of crusty artisan bread, crackers, or homemade soft pretzels or soft pretzel bites.
If you’re serving a more substantial entree-type dish, my slow cooker chicken chili is a favorite and feeds a large group.
Finger foods like baked buffalo chicken strips, coconut shrimp, or homemade stromboli are also easy to prepare and serve. My stromboli recipe yields 2 stromboli, so you can make each with different fillings.
Favorite Handheld Desserts
For something sweet, handheld desserts are most convenient because they’re easy to make, transport, and serve. M&M cookie bars and rice krispie treats are made in a 9×13-inch pan (this one has a handy lid for taking it on the go). For a smaller batch dessert, to my homemade brownies made in a 9-inch square pan. Or go all in with a batch of decorated football cookies. I promise, even beginner cookie decorators can tackle these. ๐
Happy Super Bowl Sundayโlet’s eat!
