Some people tune in to Super Bowl Sunday for the halftime show, while others are more concerned with the best commercials of the year. Of course, there are those who actually want to watch the game itself. But everyone will surely agree that they're all really just there for the food! "Super Bowl Sunday is primarily about football," Ree Drummond confirms, "but following close behind is the food surrounding the big game." That's why there's this comprehensive list of the best Super Bowl recipes of all time!
If you're looking to keep the crowd fed through the last quarter, you've come to the right place. Here, you'll find bite-sized Super Bowl snacks like fried pickles and pigs in a blanket; plus, heartier dishes including chili recipes, over-the-top sandwiches, and a pizza casserole that's the ultimate comfort food. You'll also find classic options like chicken wing recipes, nachos, homemade pizzas, and plenty of Super Bowl dips.
Try a tailgate menu of sharable bites including party dips, mini meatball sliders, cheesesteak nachos, and crispy air fryer mozzarella sticks. Otherwise, opt for the creative twists on buffalo chicken recipes including buffalo chicken dip and buffalo sloppy joes. Whichever menu you choose, be sure to serve a football-shaped snack board and some Super Bowl desserts like the football field sheet cake to make sure your night is a winning success from beginning to end!
