Top Super Bowl Recipe Ideas

November 30, 2011

Looking for the best Superbowl recipes on the Internet? You’ve in the right place. This article is all about those delectable dishes you shovel into your mouth during the NFL’s biggest game of the year, and I’ve included an array of foods from bite-sized snacks to more substantial fare. Since Superbowl Sunday is right up there with Thanksgiving and Christmas when it comes to giving your waistline a free pass, don’t be embarrassed about trying them all.

The Best Superbowl Recipes on the InternetThese Super Bowl recipes are in no particular order, but that’s mainly because I couldn’t decide on a favorite. Each is a culinary treat in its own right, and it would be a shame to only prepare them one day a year. The next time you have guests over to watch NCAA football or the NFL, whip up one or two of these recipes and watch the crowd go wild.

  1. Potato Skins - This delicious Superbowl recipe was posted by Elise Bauer at her blog, Simply Recipes. I’ve long been a fan of potato skins, and the picture alone is enough to make my mouth water. All the ingredients are easy to find at your local supermarket, and the included recipe serves four to six people (but it can easily be doubled to feed a larger group of football fans).
  2. Healthy Buffalo Chicken Dip - Who says that Superbowl snacks have to cause your waistline to expand? Certainly not Jeanette over at Jeanette’s Healthy Living! This tasty recipe for Buffalo Chicken Dip will have the guests at your next Superbowl party clamoring for more, and it’s equally delicious the other 364 days of the year. If you like cream cheese or blue cheese, don’t miss out on one of the best Superbowl recipes on the Internet.
  3. Skinny Baked Jalapeno Poppers - SkinnyTaste features healthy foods for the whole family, and these instructions for jalapeno poppers are no exception. Created by Gina Homolka, this recipe combines jalapenos with panko crumbs, low-fat cheddar, light cream cheese, scallions, and plenty of other ab-friendly ingredients. The provided recipe produces 24 poppers for your Superbowl party, which should make it ideal for a halftime snack.
  4. Southwestern Egg Rolls - Sarah at Short Stop is both an enthusiastic football fan and a veteran of making snacks for the game. Her site features a number of Superbowl recipes, but she refers to this dish as the “best football eats on Earth.” After making some at home, I’m a believer. Filled with black beans, spinach, chicken, and plenty of spices, they can be prepared ahead of time, popped in the freezer, and then served at your convenience.
  5. Frito Pie with One-Hour Texas Chili - It’s not a Superbowl party without chili, and this recipe adds in the delicious southern goodness of a Frito pie. Lisa Fain is the author, and the name of her site is Homesick Texan. Being a native Texan myself, I can appreciate a good Frito pie any time of the year, and this concoction will let you experience the magic of the Lone Star State even if you dwell in a whole other country (i.e. outside Texas).
  6. Baked Buffalo Wings - Lana over at Never Enough Thyme is a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan, but her recipe for baked buffalo wings tastes just as good while watching the pros. The recipe will produce a selection of mild wings, but she offers an easy tip for increasing the intensity. Those who like to dip their wings in Bleu Cheese will appreciate the accompanying recipe, plus the wealth of photos will make the whole process much easier.
  7. Mini Corn Dogs - It was originally a Paula Deen recipe, but I found it at Something New Is Cooking, a blog maintained by a single mom named Michelle. While I’m sure Paula was cheerful and said “y’all” a lot, I wanted to mention this site because I like all the pictures that go along with the recipe. The prep time is only 15 minutes, while the cooking time is 12 minutes. When you’re finished, you’ll have 40 of these mini corn dogs to set out for your Superbowl guests.
  8. Griff’s Philly Cheese Steak - While finger foods are perfectly acceptable at a Super Bowl party, some of your guests may want something a bit more substantial. That’s where Lee “Griff” Griffith and his version of the Philly cheese steak sandwich enter the picture. Philly purists may scoff at the use of Cheese Whiz or the addition of a jalapeno pepper, but everyone else will be too busying chowing down to complain.
  9. Chili’s Copycat Salsa - When it comes to salsa, you can always run down to the store and buy a can of Pace. If, however, you prefer your hot sauce to taste like restaurant-quality salsa, try this recipe from Six Sisters’ Stuff (originally taken from Deals to Meals). You’ll swear you were eating at Chili’s on a Friday night, but without the crowds and high prices. Instead, you and your guests can enjoy some salsa in the privacy of your own living room while the Super Bowl plays in the background.
  10. Meatball Sliders - Another staple of Superbowl parties and weekend cookouts, the meatball slider is a bite-sized treat that can be made with minimal effort. Cliff, Kara, and Kelly at LiveLovePasta share their version of the popular snack, and the finished product will result in 10 to 12 delicious sliders. There are printable directions, as well as an impressive number of photos to guide you step-by-step through the cooking process.
