What are good foods for a super bowl party?

At a Super Bowl party or any sports-themed party, all attention will be on the game. Party guests will want to keep their eyes on the TV while snacking, rather than hanging out in the kitchen or by the buffet table as happens at many parties.

For that reason, you want to serve finger foods and Super Bowl snacks that are portable.

Don’t forget to have lots of beer and sodas, too.

Take your cues from ballparks and stadiums when planning your Super Bowl party food menu. If they’re serving it at Hard Rock Stadium, then it will probably be a hit at your Super Bowl party, too.

Single-bite foods are great.

It’s fine to serve things like hot dogs, brats and sausages with homemade hot dog chili or a bowl of chili, but make sure you make them portable. Serve hot dogs and fries in paper-lined baskets or paper trays, like they do at restaurants and stadiums.

If you’re serving chili, consider serving it in heavy-duty disposable bowls or ceramic bowls with a handle for easy carrying.

To prevent fumbles and spills, opt for heavy-duty plastic plates instead of flimsy paper ones. Plates with built-in cup holders are a great idea for a Super Bowl party. These plates have a spot in the center to hold a drink or dip!

Thank you! I and my friends absolutely loved the food this weekend and I did everything with your guidance and exactly like in the recipes! Had no time to say thank you earlier! Tortilla Chips, ribs, and chicken wings were just something else and mind you I’m a pretty terrible cook on my own so it’s all because of you! I kinda felt like we lacked something sweet afterward so I might have to pick up something else from you in the near future to back me up in case we decide to gather again soon for the 2nd February game!
