The Super Bowl comes once a year, and it's a good excuse for a party. Every party needs one thing... favorite foods! Here are some easy and quick food ideas while you're watching the big game.
As the championship game approaches, football fans across the nation gear up for the ultimate Super Bowl feast, complete with a spread of the most popular Super Bowl foods. From savory snacks to mouthwatering appetizers, here's a rundown of the top Super Bowl foods to elevate your game day menu…
Touchdown Taco Dip
Make a layered dip with your favorite Mexican ingredients. Choose from refried beans, salsa, sliced black olives, Mexican cheese, and guacamole. You can also make a mixture with ¾ cup sour cream, ½ a package of cream cheese, and one package of taco seasoning and inclued as a layer to the dip. Heat the dip in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with nacho chips to feel like you really are in Mexico!
Hamburgers and Hot Dogs
If you have a George Foreman grill, break it out and cook some hamburgers and hot dogs. Use premade hamburger patties to save time. A frying pan can be used instead if you don't have a George Foreman grill. Add some cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and condiments as desired.
Loaded Tater Tots
Take your tots to the next level by loading them with toppings like crispy bacon, diced red onion, and tangy blue cheese for a satisfying and indulgent Super Bowl snack.
Sweet Potatoes Fries
Swap out traditional potato chips for these healthier and equally delicious sweet potato fries, seasoned to perfection and served with a side of creamy garlic knot dipping sauce.
Pizza
Pizza is an easy food for Super Bowl Sunday. You can order it from Pizza Hut or Dominoes, or purchase frozen pizzas and cook them in your oven. If you have your pizza delivered, be sure to order early, as Super Bowl Sunday is a very busy time and it might take a while to get your pizza.
Buffalo Wings
Buffalo wings are another classic Super Bowl food, and they are pretty easy as well. You can get the wings from Pizza Hut or your grocery store to save the most time. If you have a hankering for spending time in the kitchen, get a box of frozen chicken nuggets. Cook them halfway according to package directions.
During the first half of cooking, create a sauce to brush on the nuggets (for a spicy sauce, use 4 T butter mixed with 2 to 4 T of Tabasco sauce, or you can use barbecue sauce for barbecue wings). When the nuggets are halfway through cooking, take them out and brush them with sauce, then return to the oven to finish cooking. Serve with bleu cheese or ranch dressing.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
A staple at Super Bowl parties, this creamy and spicy dip featuring shredded rotisserie chicken, hot sauce, and gooey cheese sauce is sure to score big with your guests.
Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Wings
Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, these air-fried chicken wings tossed in your favorite hot sauce or soy sauce glaze are an easy and crowd-pleasing Super Bowl snack.
Cheese, Crackers, Chips, and Dip
These are easy foods to prepare for your Super Bowl party. Chips are classic football fare, and are probably on sale at the grocery store. Pick up a couple of your favorites. Hidden Valley Ranch makes a dip mix that you mix with sour cream that is a favorite with many of my friends. Ritz crackers go well with cheese. Kraft has a product called Cracker Cuts that can eliminate time cutting cheese.
Jalapeño Poppers
Spice up your Super Bowl spread with these fiery bites stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in crispy bacon, offering a tantalizing combination of heat and savory flavors.
Vegetables and Fruit
Pizza, chips and dip, and burgers aren't exactly the healthiest fare (not to mention the soda and beer that you're probably serving), so why not serve healthy food as well? Pick up a veggie or fruit tray at the grocery store to save some time, or cut up your own.
Fresh Veggie Platter
For a lighter option, serve up a platter of fresh veggies such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers alongside creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Tortilla Chips with Pico de Gallo
Freshly made pico de gallo paired with crispy tortilla chips offers a refreshing and flavorful option for those seeking a lighter snack amidst the game day spread.
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Creamy and indulgent, this classic dip featuring spinach, artichokes, and melty cheese is a crowd-pleaser that pairs perfectly with crunchy potato chips or fresh veggies.
Hosting a Super Bowl party doesn't mean that you have to spend all day in the kitchen. By using premade foods when possible, and using simple recipes instead of more complex ones, you can spend more time watching the game (or the commercials, if that's what draws you to the game).
Layer Dip
A colorful and festive addition to any snack spread, layer dip typically features refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and salsa, offering a medley of flavors in every scoop.
Salty Snacks Mix
Create your own custom snack mix featuring a variety of crunchy favorites like pretzels, popcorn, and mixed nuts tossed in a savory seasoning blend for a satisfying munch throughout the game.
With this winning lineup of Super Bowl snacks and easy appetizers, you'll be sure to satisfy every craving and keep your guests fueled up for the big game. So gather your friends and family, set up your snack spread, and get ready to enjoy the Super Bowl weekend in style!
