While there are many fans eagerly awaiting kickoff so they can watch an excellent football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Fransico 49ers, there may be even more people who are excited just for the Super Bowl appetizers and snacks.
Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest days of the year for people to gather and have a good time with family, football, and food. Whether you are a guest looking to bring something or you are hosting a big party, you want to make sure you get the food selections right. Let’s dive deeper into some Super Bowl appetizer ideas that will have your whole party coming back for more.
Best Super Bowl Appetizers and Snacks
The television is good to go, the drinks are on ice, and the crowd will soon begin to file in as the big game draws near. But what is on the menu? There are plenty of different directions to go with that question, and with so many options, it may be worth it to stick to some classics — or add a few new items to pique your guests’ interests.
Chicken Wings
An absolute staple of football food, you cannot go wrong when having chicken wings on the menu. Whether you fry, grill, or bake, they always come out delicious. You can leave them plain and crispy or sauce them up with buffalo, barbecue, or whatever you prefer. There’s no way that chicken wings won’t be a crowd-pleaser while watching the big game.
Chips and Queso Dip
There’s nothing easier than grabbing a plate of chips and a few scoops of dip as you sit and watch the big game, and the best of that variety may very well be queso dip. The hot and cheesy dip is so versatile — you can add ground beef, tomatoes, green onion, or anything else you see fit. Find your favorite tortilla chip and snack away, but don’t be surprised if it’s the most popular dish you make.
Pizza
When it comes to pizza, you can make it as simple and easy as you want, or you can do it your way — it doesn’t matter, your crowd will love it. Whether you’re ordering takeout or delivery ahead of the big game or are planning to make it yourself, it’ll be a crowd-pleaser.
Pizza and parties go together as well as any combination ever. Add pepperoni, meat lovers, or even just a classic cheese pizza. You can’t go wrong when it comes to a good pizza for a Super Bowl party.
Hamburger Sliders
Hamburger sliders are a go-to finger food that can please any group of guests. Whether you add cheese or maybe ketchup and mustard, the idea of having a little mini burger (or three) is always a win. It very well could be the most versatile Super Bowl appetizer you can make.
If hamburgers aren’t your style, you can easily still make sliders with ham and cheese or even barbecue chicken. No matter what direction you take, a finger sandwich for a big crowd will allow people to enjoy and keep the good times going without a big mess.
Italian Sausage Sandwiches
You can get hot, you can get sweet, or you can get both, but whatever you choose will be an instant hit for your party. Sauté up some onions and peppers, grill or bake your sausages, then put them into a hoagie roll and enjoy. The classic ballpark food is so simple and easy to make and will have your guests feeling like they are sitting in the stadium with a gameday staple on their plate.
