The Super Bowl has become one of the biggest events of the year, with viewers around the world gathering to watch the game, the halftime show, and the commercials. For many people though, the the big game is about one thing: food. If you're hosting a Super Bowl event, don't expect that serving any old food will be accepted by guests. What you serve matters! There are foods that are acceptable for a Super Bowl gathering, and some that just don't belong.
Here is a list of the most popular foods to pig out on during celebrations for this major football event, and some recipes to go along with each to help you prepare the perfect menu.
Chips and Dip
The great thing about chips is that you don't have to make them. Buy a few different types and pair them with a variety of dips, such as salsa, guacamole, 7-layer dip, an aioli, hummus, or even a bruschetta. People will appreciate the variety of flavors over the course of the long game, and everyone will find something they like.
Recipes: Seven-layer dip; Queso dip; Easy Guacamole; Caramelized Onion Dip
Pigs in a Blanket
These appetizers are not only cute, but they're easy to make and safe to eat.Whether you make them classic style or throw in some bacon, they're sure to be a hit.
Recipes: Crescent Dogs; Neely's Pigs in a Blanket; Bacon-Cheddar Pigs in a Blanket
Wings
Wings have become a must-have for Super Bowl parties. These saucy snacks have grown popular due to the wide variety of flavors, their practicality (they're accessible, deliverable, and inexpensive) and the fact that they go so well with beer.
Recipes: Classic Buffalo Wings; Baked Chicken Wings; Hot Wings
Pizza
Super Bowl Sunday is pizza's biggest day of the year. It's a food you can easily get delivered that you know everyone will enjoy. If you'd rather not have to wait for your order, it's just as easy to make on your own. In either case, as long as you offer guests a variety of toppings to choose from, they'll be happy.
Recipes: Basic Pepperoni Pizza; Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza; Wingless Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Game-Day Desserts
After eating all of the savory foods of the night, it's nice to finish up the fourth quarter with a sweet snack. The best part is that you can dress up your desserts to match the theme of the night and use them as decoration before you chow down on them!
Recipes: Oreo Football Cookies; Pull Apart Touchdown Cupcakes: Peanut Butter Football Cookie
Beer
We know that beer isn't technically a food, but it's not the Super Bowl without it. It's heavily advertised during the game, so if you don't have it you'll constantly be reminded that you're missing out on something. Plus, there's nothing like cracking open a can and taking that first sip as the ball is kicked off.
We aren't going to suggest that you attempt to make beer this late in the game, so you can just pick up something from one of the many brands that are heavily promoted during the game.
