The best thing about throwing a Super Bowl party is you only need two things: a television and food. Before you start debating where to rack up a tab for pizza delivery, consider these fun and flavorful options that will definitely be more of a hit than the Super Bowl commercials:
The Dip
Without dip, there is clearly no Super Bowl party. You may not be a master chef, but these ideas will stun your guests into believing you are, even if their mouths are too full to congratulate you.
Food.com offers this Chicken Enchilada Dip in their compilation of 36 Football Dip Recipes. The only thing better than actually eating enchiladas, is an enchilada that is mobile enough to throw in a bowl and survive four quarters of cheering and touchdown dances. This dip fits the bill:
We also happen to think this BLT dip turns one of the world’s greatest sandwiches into one incredible dip:
But if you still have pizza on the brain, there are a number of drool worthy pizza dip recipes, like this one straight from the Food Network:
The Main Dish
You can also skip the pizza delivery with this genius recipe made with none other than your waffle maker. The Food Network boasts, “What happens when you stick pizza dough in a waffle iron? You get extra-crispy, ridged crust with perfectly squared wells to catch all the sauce and cheese.”
Or turn your slow cooker into a game day hero with this Buffalo Chicken recipe. Guests can pile on as much chicken as they like to make their own sandwich, and you won’t miss a second of the game.
But of course it’s every slow cooker’s dream to fill your party with the tantalizing aroma of warm, savory, chili. Dress this chili to impress by serving in edible bread bowls.
But before you panic, no, we would never forget wings. These Gingered Sweet and Spicy Hot Wings also claim to be “foolproof.”
The Dessert
By halftime, everyone has a sweet tooth. Bon Appetit offers up this stunning gallery of 33 Super Bowl Desserts. Like this Iron Skillet Peach Crisp:
Maybe you’re looking for something a little cuter? Then you can’t go wrong with these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Footballs:
And finally, even if you’re over all of the gender reveal trends, these Super Bowl “reveal” cupcakes are still the tastiest way to show your team alliance.
Whichever team you root for, with full and happy party guests, you’ll come out the winner this Sunday.
