In This Post
Every year we host a Super Bowl party with friends and family. Everyone arrives sporting their team’s colors and ready to munch, mingle, and cheer on their favorite team.
I look forward to our get-together every year because 1 – I love football, and 2, it is an opportunity to make some of my favorite recipes.
How Many Football Fans Are You Feeding?
Before we start cooking, we need to prepare for the guests. To figure out how much of each recipe to make, we need to know:
- Adults: How many adults are visiting? For Superbowl parties, I plan to serve everyone small bites of each recipe, so if a recipe makes 6 servings, it should serve 12 small bites.
- Kids: These parties are usually family affairs, so I always like to make a note of how many kids are attending. Typically they require less food or will appreciate a kid-friendly recipe like mac and cheese.
- Are they bringing any food? As a host, you get to decide if you want guests to bring food or not. Either way is fine, it will just change how much food you need to make.
How To Host And Watch The Game
I’m a big football fan, but it can be hard to host and watch the game. In order to watch the game and host, you need to:
- Use a crockpot – this will help you cook recipes while you mingle with guests.
- Make food in advance – any food that you can prep will save you time and energy later! This could be chopping the ingredients for pasta salad or cooking the pasta.
- Pick quick recipes – ideally, they are ready in 30 minutes or less. Or, they require very minimal hands-on work.
Useful Kitchen Tools To Make These Recipes
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again… A cook is only as good as their kitchen tools. It is so important to have the right tools and gadgets to make a recipe.
These are a couple of my favorites, many of which will appear in the recipes below.
- Instant Pot
- Crock Pot
- Mixing Bowls
- Strainer
- Cast Iron Skillet
- Non-Stick Skillet
- Air Fryer
- Spatula
BEST Super Bowl Appetizers & Snacks
The Super Bowl, more so than other events, is all about appetizers and finger food. Whether you’re feeding the family, or you’re hosting a large viewing party, these crowd-pleasing appetizers are hard to beat! From cheese balls to wings, there is something here for everyone to enjoy.
Super Bowl Party Side Dishes & Salads
Whether you’re doing a buffet-style meal, attending a potluck, or casually entertaining, these dishes are a MUST! With recipes ranging from bright, flavorful slaw to macaroni salad for a crowd, you’re sure to find the perfect dish here.
Additionally, all of these side dishes and salads can be made ahead and then refrigerated to cut down on your workload.
Easy To Make Warm Dips
I have been a dip lover since day one, and there is no better day to serve an outrageously delicious dip than Superbowl Sunday!
Whether you’re looking for classic dips like spinach artichoke and buffalo chicken, or you’re in the mood to try something new, I’ve got a recipe here for you!
Fun And Delicious Main Dishes
I am a big fan of Crock Pot Main Dishes on Super Bowl Sunday! If you’re like me, you’ll want to watch the game as well as host the party, and your Crock-Pot is the key to success.
I recommend writing down a schedule a couple of days before so that you can time your slow-cooked recipes properly. I also included two other stove-top Super Bowl favorites, an easy-to-make chili recipe, and a 20-minute sautéed shrimp recipe.
Game Day Desserts & Sweet Treats
Of course, you can’t forget about dessert, and these delectable sweet treats are all easier to make than you’d ever believe!
This Super Bowl Sunday, I will be serving the two dessert dip recipes below, as well as my easy-to-make No-Bake Butterscotch Cookies.
