150+ Superbowl Party Recipes

*Note: Descriptions below are quotes from the recipe sites

• BBQ Chipped Chop Ham Sandwiches – A Pittsburgh Super Bowl Recipe: Since Pittsburgh is in the Super Bowl, I’ve got several recipes lined up that will win people over and provide a Pittsburgh Style celebration. This recipe is unsophisticated, but tried and true. This is the point. I’ve updated it a bit after playing around with the recipe. Recipe found at Accidental Hedonist.
• Score Points on Game Day with PHILLY Buffalo Chicken Dip: Keep your eyes glued to the football game and your taste buds happy with this PHILLY Buffalo Chicken Dip. An ultimate must-have for game-day entertaining, this tangy and succulent dip is the champion of all chicken dips! Recipe found at Love My Philly.
• Sweet and Sour Vietnamese Wings: In today’s Cook the Book recipe, sweet and sour Vietnamese wings, chicken wings are marinated in an Asian all-stars concoction of fish sauce, mango nectar, ginger, lime juice, and lemongrass, before being oven-roasted to mahogany stickiness. The recipe makes 24 wings, which will serve 4 as an entrée, or, depending on the size of your game day spread, up to 12 as an appetizer. Recipe found at Serious Eats.
• Super Bowl Pizza Party: Homemade pizza is easy and fun to serve during a Super Bowl party. Before everyone arrives, mix up a big batch of dough (or better yet buy some from your local bakery or pizzeria), assemble your favorite toppings —various meats, cheeses, vegetables, fresh basil — whatever you like. When it’s time to eat, encourage everyone toss the dough high in the air like the pizza man does at the pizzeria before assembling their custom made pie and popping it in the oven. The easy part is your guests do the cooking. Recipe found at My Carolina Kitchen.
• Healthy Super Bowl Recipes: Baked Kale Chips: Now you may think these are odd for Super Bowl, but trust me, they will be gone in no time, even the manliest man will love them! Recipe from Chez Us.
• Guinness Battered Onion Rings: Sprinkle with homemade chili powder and salt to taste and serve hot. Recipe from 2 Stews.
• Number One Recommendation For Super Bowl Parties: Butterfinger Cake: Out of all the recipes on Southern Plate, this is the one I place as the number one “must have” dish to bring or have at your Super Bowl Parties. Lets face it, we all love to be the one showing up with the “WOW” dish! Recipe from Southern Plate.
• Fully Loaded Nachos & 17 other Super Bowl Recipes: If taco bells nachos are dogfood than mine are 5 star Michelin rated…and they should be. I always like doing the usual wings and chili as well as Mexican eats when I’m having super bowl parties. It tastes good, everyone tends to like it unless your from Idaho and like Taco Bell and it cooks easy for large amounts of people. Many of the dishes work for buffet style foods and any parties of celebration. Recipe found at Smokin’ Chokin’ and Chowing With The King.
• Superbowl Snack Throwdown: Sweet Potato Hummus: I could have eaten this with a spoon, and it did not last long at all. The sweet potatoes give it a different flavor and texture that really works. Recipe from Lauren’s Kitchen.
• Super Bowl: Greek-Style Potato Skins: With the Super Bowl comes the need for craveable, beer-friendly party snacks—and these Greek-style potato skins will fit the bill. They are approachable enough for your Cro-Magnon friends and a nice vegetarian change of pace from the standard garnish of sour cream, green onions, cheddar, and bacon. Recipe from Serious Eats.
• {Appetizer} Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts: There is something about bacon and the crunchiness of water chestnuts – that when they come together is like a “party in your mouth”. Some may call this popular appetizer “trashy”, but who cares? It may not be the most gourmet appetizer on the table but I can guarantee you it will be one of the first appetizers to disappear. Trashy – Smashy – It’s all good. Recipe from Savory Sweet Life.
• Honey-Mustard Snack Mix Recipe: The ultimate snack mix is crunchy, sweet, and salty all at once. This one is loaded with pretzels, bagel chips, and sesame sticks coated in a buttery mixture of mustard and honey, and it fits the bill. Recipe found at Chow.
• Cajun Wings: These Cajun flavored wings were easy to prepare, just marinade and bake in the oven. With 6 full ounces of hot sauce, the marinade sounds really spicy, but the wings had a nice kick that thankfully didn’t set my mouth on fire. We enjoyed them a lot and will make them again. Recipe found at Andrea’s Recipes.
• 8 Easy Crock-Pot Recipes for Your Super Bowl Bash: Don’t miss any of the action on game day. With these super-tasty recipes, you can toss the ingredients into one pot ahead of time, and you’ll be all set when your guests arrive. Recipes found at Delish.
• Light and Scrumptious Spinach Artichoke Dip: This is a lightened version that works great with light cheese, low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat mayonnaise. Processing it in the food processor contributes to its awesome texture. So, if you’re watching your weight right now and trying to keep your New Year’s resolutions, you can still enjoy this hot dip. Recipe found at Ingredients, Inc.
• Spicy Molten Blue Cheese Dip: Recipe from The New York Times.
• Tortilla Roll-ups: The first thing to be devoured at our family-style New Year’s Eve party were these tasty tortilla roll-ups. Awesome as an appetizer, it is easy to tweak the ingredients to suit your preferences, use what you have on hand, or to make them more filling for a meal. One of my favorite things about tortilla roll-ups is that they are best made ahead of time, decreasing last-minute party preparations. Recipe found at The Finer Things In Life.
• Fiesta Cream Cheese Spread Recipe: Salsa and apricot preserves come together as a strange combination, yet create a very tasty appetizer! Give this one a try at your Super Bowl party this year! Recipe found at Taste of Home.
• 101 Simple Appetizers in 20 Minutes or Less: Recipes found at The New York Times.
• Wings, 3 Ways, and Blue Cheese Dressing: We all like a different sort of sauce so I decided to go ahead and make three different types since the prep is essentially the same. For the sticky wings I sauced them with my standard Asian sauce and then baked them. For the hot wings and the garlic-Parmesan wings I cooked them first and then tossed in the topping before serving. You could bake or fry these, I just had everything baking at the same time. When the sticky wings were done, I turned the broiler on the plain wings to crisp the skin up a little. Then tossed with the sauces I had prepped and served. Recipes found at Chaos In The Kitchen.
• Baked Artichoke Dip Recipe: A great do-ahead recipe – and you can bake it off in any sized dish you like. I should also note, the smell of the baking artichokes and toasting Parmesan provides a deliciously fragrant backdrop to any get together. I pop the artichoke dip into the oven roughly half an hour before we have friends over, just in time for its olfactory crescendo. Recipe found at 101 Cookbooks.
• Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Dip: Children love this. Teenagers love it even more. Men really love this. Men, screaming at a football game, while drinking beer, especially love this. I love this. So I guess women love it too. Let’s face it, Superbowl Sunday is approaching with record speed. You know, the Superbowl, the day all your New Year’s diet resolutions are left in the dust. You need to set this Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Dip right next to the buffalo wings and watch it disappear. I’m warning you, it’s addicting. The best part, it’s ready in minutes. No rocket science here, just a fun and yummy dip that will make your Superbowl Party the hottest ticket in town. It will. Really, it will. Recipe found at Noble Pig.
• Buffalo Chicken Dip: All the ingredients are cooked and just need to be warmed. It features both ranch AND blue cheese salad dressing. The recipe on which it is based calls for using canned chicken (no thank you, sir). And anything that includes a block of cream cheese puts us off a bit. So we’re the first to admit that this dish is a little trashy, but when we served it at party we were hosting last weekend, our guests went absolutely crazy for it. In fact, we made a huge dish of it, doubling the recipe below, and it was all promptly eaten, the dish nearly licked clean. Give it a try at your next soiree — you won’t be sorry. Recipe found at The Bitten Word.
• Favorite Chili: Last week I promised I would share my favorite chili recipe. Several years ago, I found this book: International Chili Society Official Chili Cookbook. I tried several recipes and liked Joe Burgoz’s Colorado Championship Chili the best, but I’ve made my own tweaks over the years (including the addition of chili powder!). Recipe found at Whisk.
• Groovy Meatballs: While I won’t be borrowing mom’s white patent leather belt, I have permanently adopted her Groovy Meatballs recipe. I often bring them along to potluck parties. Just keep an eye on these balls… they have a tendency to disappear quickly. Oh, and men especially love this dish — it’s perfect for Super Bowl parties or tailgate parties. Yeah baby! Recipe found at Lulu and Stuff.
• Mexican Cheesecake: Restaurant Quality- would make it again. “WOW! We had this at a football playoff party and it was super addicting. Everyone liked this appetizer the best. Completely delicious! Recipe found at Recipe Girl.
• 30 Super Bowl Snacks: When it’s time for the big game, don’t fumble! Step up your game and satisfy the hearty appetites of all those football fanatics gathered around the tube. We’ve made it easy: Choose from a plethora of chicken, chili, potatoes and pasta—all the best bar food. Come game time, we’re sure our picks will leave bellies content and all eyes on the field.
