The Super Bowl is an exciting event for everyone, whether you’re watching because you enjoy football, you’re there to catch the best and funniest commercials, or you simply enjoy hanging out with friends on a Sunday.

Regardless of why you’re attending or hosting a Super Bowl Sunday party, there’s no better way to celebrate it than with delicious snacks! Sports bring people together, but food helps people stay – cue the Super Bowl recipes.
I’ll share some of the best Super Bowl snacks and foods, from appetizers to large dishes, the staple hors d’oeuvres, and unique dishes that will stand out.
Here are some of my favorite Super Bowl food ideas.
Buffalo chicken dip is a creamy and spicy dip that is the epitome of Super Bowl food. It's easier to eat than chicken wings but provides the same classic flavor for a Super Bowl snack.
The classic dip consists of cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and buffalo sauce, with some recipes also adding ranch dressing, mayo, and other spices.
Instant pot chili is the perfect comfort food for a Super Bowl party. It's easy to make; you just throw all the ingredients in one pot, set it, and forget it.
It's not the easiest to share this Super Bowl recipe, but just as crowd-pleasing as the rest due to the combination of beans, beef, onions, and spices.
Pigs in a blanket is a dish that entails mini hotdogs wrapped in a biscuit dough with everything bagel seasoning on top.
It's sure to be a hit because it's extra yummy and also fun to eat.
Toasted ravioli is a savory, cheesy, and delicious Italian-American dish that is a perfect appetizer for Super Bowl parties.
It's the classic combination of hot and cold, with crunchy breaded ravioli filled with cheese and served with marinara sauce.
Buffalo chicken sliders incorporate boneless chicken thighs coated in buffalo sauce and topped with cheese and hot sauce.
If you like the idea of buffalo chicken dip but want to make something more handheld and convenient to share, try out buffalo chicken sliders.
Spinach artichoke dip is a beloved classic, but you can make it even more delicious by using fresh artichoke hearts and spinach instead of canned.
This cheesy, creamy dip is the perfect appetizer for Super Bowl parties, and I love to pair it with crunchy chips or crackers.
If you're hoping to bring something a bit different to the party, try making chipotle meatballs and fried bologna sandwiches.
These sandwiches are hearty and flavorful, with spicy chipotle meatballs, crispy fried bologna, and a whole lot of cheese.
Baked potato skins are crispy and cheesy, with lots of toppings like bacon, cheese, chives, and sour cream.
I love to make them with small potatoes, so they're easy to pick up and eat.
They're great for Super Bowl Sunday parties because they're hearty but not overly filling.
Buffalo wings are the all-time winners for Super Bowl recipes because they're filling and flavorful.
I like making my wings with plenty of hot sauce and butter, plus some standout ingredients like garlic powder.
Check out different wing sauces to try!
Corn dip is a creamy, zesty, and delicious appetizer.
It's usually topped with a mix of Mexican flavors like cumin and chili powder, and I like to serve mine with Mexican-style tortilla chips.
Baked jalapeno poppers are stuffed with a cheesy filling, breaded in panko crumbs, and then baked. The result is spicy, crunchy, and creamy all at once.
You can leave the seeds to ensure extra spice or take them out for a milder version.
Buffalo cauliflower wings are one of the best appetizers for an event because they appeal to meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.
I sometimes struggle to make them as crispy as I want them to be, but this recipe has helped show me how to cook them to perfection!
Everybody loves cheese at football parties, so why not make it a bit more fun and shape it like a football?
This cheese ball combines cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and more for a cheesy masterpiece.
I usually serve it with crackers and pretzels.
Baked artichoke stuffed mushrooms are a dish that will make your Super Bowl Sunday guests exceptionally happy - trust me.
These mushrooms are loaded with cream cheese, artichoke hearts, and spinach for likely the most nutritious appetizer you'll get all day.
A charcuterie board is fantastic for many events, but if you have more than six to eight people planning on showing up at the party, it can be challenging to make sure everyone has access to all the meats and cheese they want.
That's where charcuterie skewers play a helpful role!
You can combine meat and your favorite cheeses into easily shareable, passable, and portable skewers.
I love cinnamon sugar pretzels because the cinnamon is a perfect complement to the sweet and salty flavor of the pretzels, plus they're easy to pick up and eat.
I normally make a batch of these for my Super Bowl parties, and they're always gone by halftime!
Bacon ranch turkey sliders are a fantastic crowd-pleaser.
These tasty little sandwiches are made with turkey breast, bacon, ranch dressing, and cheddar cheese on top of mini buns.
Plain celery is a fresh, healthy addition to the array of comfort foods on the party table, but if you want to take your celery up a notch, try these buffalo chicken celery sticks.
Instead of relying on your guests to dip the stick into buffalo chicken dip, these snacks are ready to go as the dip is loaded into the dip of each celery stick.
Mini bacon ranch cheese balls are cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and ranch dressing, all packed into one delicious bite.
These tasty morsels are the perfect snack to make for a party, as they are full of flavor and easy to transport. Plus, who can resist bacon?
You can stick pretzel sticks in them for a visually-appealing flair.
Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers with Everything Bagel Seasoning
These cream cheese-stuffed mini peppers with everything bagel seasoning are some of my favorite Super Bowl party snacks.
All you have to do is stuff mini peppers, top them with everything bagel seasoning, and bake them in the oven.
Tater tots are a staple bar food that you might be used to consuming around a table with a few friends at the bar.
But they can be hard to pass around at larger gatherings, so loaded tater tot skewers can save the day by combining your favorite loaded tots ingredients - bacon, chives, cheese, etc. - onto one stick.
I also stick on a few jalapenos as well!
Load up some Superbowl meatballs on skewers for easy grabbing and sharing.
I love how juicy they are on the inside, saucy they are on the outside, and smoky they are throughout!
If you're a meatball lover, you should certainly add this to the Sunday menu.
Garlic knots are a delicious Super Bowl party food that combines garlic, butter, and freshly baked bread for an irresistible combination.
They are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve these alongside some marinara sauce or ranch dressing - and both, if possible.
Because people like them so much, I highly recommend you make more than you think you'll need!
Everybody loves a good Philly Cheesesteak, but if I ate a whole one, I wouldn't have room for other delicious Super Bowl food!
These sliders are the perfect size to get the taste and goodness of this sandwich while leaving room for other items.
Apple crack dip is a delicious, sweet, and slightly savory dip that's perfect for dipping freshly sliced apples.
The caramel ice cream and brown sugar provide an addictive sweetness, while the cream cheese and toffee pieces add a dynamic consistency.
This dip is the perfect way to beat sugar cravings while still getting in some fruit at the party.
Who doesn't love pizza at a football watch party? But a small-sized pizza is usually the first food to go, and sheet pan Sicilian pizza is the perfect solution.
This dish lets you make a giant, deep-dish pizza in one go on a sheet pan, so everyone can have a slice or two.
Top it with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni for added flavor.
I love a good, goofy food theme, and football deviled eggs are the perfect themed bites for Super Bowl Sunday.
They're essentially deviled eggs with green onions laid out to look like the laces of a football!
They're also perfect for one-handed football snacking, leaving the other hand free for cheering and high-fiving.
Pepperoni pizza sliders are a great way to get everyone's favorite flavor of pizza in one bite.
The base of these sliders is a classic combination of pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni.
Still, I like to add a variety of other toppings to them and provide unique options.
Tortellini bites are a great alternative to regular chips and dip because they're both crunchy and soft, and the Parmesan cheese adds a delicious flavor.
Plus, they are much easier to make than you would think.
The recipe only takes 45 minutes, including prep and cook time, so they're an excellent choice for a last-minute Super Bowl recipe.
Making popular dishes in bite-sized form is always a good idea for a Super Bowl party, and mini macaroni and cheese bites are the perfect way to bring comfort food to the table.
All you need is some macaroni, cheese, a few spices and seasonings, and an oven-safe muffin tin, and you'll have these delicious bites ready in no time.
Soft pretzels are another bar food that people love to eat while watching the game, but making standard-sized soft pretzels for everyone would be a chore.
Luckily, homemade soft pretzel bites offer a more shareable solution while still making a satisfying snack that's sure to be a hit among all your friends!
Chicken and Waffle Sliders are a delicious game-day treat!
It's like the best of both worlds: savory fried chicken with sweet, fluffy waffle pieces all in one bite-sized package.
I love them because of the combination of flavors; plus, they are small, affordable, and easy to make in just 25 minutes.
If you're looking for a cheesy dip that packs a punch, this crack dip is the way to go.
It's made with sour cream, ranch, bacon bits, and cheddar cheese as the main ingredients.
I find all of these ingredients highly addictive, so it's no surprise that people can't get enough of this game-day appetizer!
Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes are a great twist on classic baked potatoes.
They're cheesy and delicious, with added bacon pieces for an extra crunch.
These mini potatoes are perfect for a Super Bowl recipe since they can easily be shared among a crowd and still provide plenty of flavors.
Parmesan Ranch Chex Mix is a tasty party snack full of flavor. The parmesan and ranch seasonings in this mix make it the perfect combination of savory and zesty.
It's a great way to start your Super Bowl party, as everyone can easily grab a handful and enjoy.
Plus, it's also easy to make ahead and store for later!
Mexican spinach dip is a combination of creamy cheese, spinach, and Mexican spices that create a delicious dipping sauce.
I love to serve it with chips or veggies, as the creamy texture of the dip makes them even more enjoyable.
If you want to serve up hot dogs in a unique way, corn dog muffins are the perfect solution.
They have all the flavor of a classic corn dog but are much easier to make and have the convenience of being bite-sized.
Plus, they taste great when served with ketchup and mustard.
Salami is a great Super Bowl snack, but if you want to make it a bit more interesting, try making Salami Roll-Ups.
All you have to do is add your favorite cheese and pepperoncini slices; I also add a few herbs to take it up another notch.
Ritz Crackers are an excellent party snack on their own or when served with various dips, cheeses, meats, and sauces.
But if you want to make bite-sized sandwiches, using Ritz crackers can make the process so simple!
You can fill the sandwiches with cheese, deli meat, and condiments like mustard.
Cheeseburgers are fantastic game-day food but can get complicated to serve and messy to eat.
Spicy crock pot cheesy hamburger dip ensures everyone can enjoy the taste of a cheeseburger without having to make their own sandwich.
Also, the spices give it a great kick and make it a perfect addition to any game-day snack table.
A crescent roll veggie pizza isn't the most common of Super Bowl foods, but it's perfect for football fans looking for slightly healthier snack options than the classics.
In addition to the standard buffalo wings and pizza, I love consuming veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, and cucumbers featured on this pizza.
Sweet potatoes have a great flavor on their own, but when you add bacon to the mix, they become irresistible.
Bacon-wrapped sweet potato bites will add more variety to your Super Bowl menu.
I believe the smoky bacon flavor and creamy texture of the sweet potato make a memorable combination.
You may have ordered General Tso chicken wings for takeout, but if you want something to compete with your homemade buffalo wings, why not try making these at home as well?
These wings taste just as good, if not better. The sweet and savory General Tso's sauce adds a unique flavor to the wings.
Glazed Kielbasa pineapple bites are small snacks made with pieces of kielbasa sausage and pineapple.
A sweet glaze covers the kielbasa for a savory, delicious flavor.
They are great for Super Bowl parties because they are unique yet highly agreeable snacks. Though, I only make these when I can access sweet pineapples.
Many of the best super bowl foods are savory, but it's important to include some sweet treats to serve toward the end of the game.
S'mores dip is my favorite option for this because it takes on the gooey texture and sweet, chocolatey flavor of s'mores into a beloved dip.
Antojitos are a tasty snack made with only four ingredients. They consist of flour tortillas, cheese, shredded cheese, and jalapenos.
The main method of preparing them is rolling up the ingredients and putting them in a pan to heat them. Simple and delicious!
Peanut butter and yogurt may not seem natural, but they are surprisingly delicious.
Peanut butter yogurt dip is the perfect way to enjoy peanut butter in a healthy way.
It is made with natural ingredients like yogurt and honey, making it the perfect dip for health-conscious football fans at the party.
Anytime I see a recipe with the word "nachos" in it, I try it - especially when it includes the word "supreme" as well! And this recipe won't disappoint.
It includes some of my favorite nacho toppings like jalapenos, avocado, pico de gallo, cilantro, and much more.
If you're looking for a truly loaded nachos Super Bowl recipe, this is the one!
Buffalo Chicken Crescent Roll Ring is an irresistible dish that combines favorite game-day flavors in one convenient, bite-sized snack.
This recipe consists of crescent roll dough stuffed with buffalo chicken dip.
To top it all off, you can drizzle melted butter on top for extra fatty goodness. This is the perfect treat for those who are nowhere close to being on a diet!
It's so much fun to bring appetizers to a party that not only fits the vibe in terms of taste but also is visually relevant, and these football cookies and cream dip are just that.
The best part is that you don't have to struggle to make cookies in the shape of a football.
The focus is on the cookies and cream dip, which you can then make into a football and gather additional cookies around it for dipping.
Reuben sliders are an excellent option for Super Bowl fans looking to enjoy a classic sandwich in mini form.
The three key ingredients are Hawaiian rolls, corned beef, and sauerkraut.
Together these ingredients make for a sweet, savory, and sour flavor that's to die for.
I love avocado ranch dip because the avocado brings a unique creaminess to the dip that you can't get with other ingredients, and the ranch dressing ties in the classic buttermilk richness we all love.
This dip is simple to make, and it provides a healthier alternative to heavier dips like queso dip.
Plus, its green color makes it the perfect addition to any Super Bowl spread!
Standard blooming onions are deliciously greasy, but an air fryer blooming onion is a much healthier version because air fryer food has 75% less fat than deep-fried foods.
This recipe uses an air fryer to create the perfect crispy texture on the outside and keep the onion nice and moist on the inside.
It's a nice way to enjoy a favorite game day snack without feeling too guilty about it.
One of my favorite cheesy Super Bowl party foods is baked feta bites because they are easy to make, they look great, and they taste amazing.
The distinct salty and tangy taste of feta is irresistible in these baked bites.
I've already mentioned a delicious spicy cheeseburger soup you can make for those who admire bold, spicy flavors.
But if you're looking for a milder version of that recipe, you can try this classic cheeseburger soup instead.
Chicken taquitos are one of my go-to game-day snacks because you can whip them up in no time, and the taste is always amazing.
The chicken filling is made with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and a blend of seasonings for maximum flavor.
Fried pickles offer a way of bringing southern-style cooking to your game day event.
These pickles are coated in a beer batter, then fried to golden perfection. They're crunchy and salty on the outside but still juicy and flavorful on the inside.
Beer cheese dip is an indulgent, tangy dip made with beer, cheddar cheese, and spices.
It's a great option for Super Bowl snacking because it packs a lot of flavor into every bite.
You can use it as a dip for chips, pretzels, or vegetables.
French onion dip is another popular dip for parties and a great Super Bowl recipe.
This dip is a classic combination of sour cream and mayonnaise, flavored with onion powder, garlic, and other spices.
As you might've guessed from the name, a Pizzadilla is an innovative dish that combines the best elements of pizzas and quesadillas.
I love getting the crispy tortilla texture and gooey, cheesy filling of quesadillas while enjoying pizza-like toppings mixed in, such as pepperoni, mozzarella, red onion, and mushrooms.
Queso dip is arguably the most popular dip for Super Bowl parties, and I can see why.
It's versatile, gooey, cheesy, salty, and highly flavorful.
It goes well with chips, smothered on tacos, or as a cheesy sauce over nachos.
Sloppy joes are a classic game-day food that everyone loves.
They're basically like burgers but sloppier, made with ground beef, onions, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and a blend of spices.
I like to serve them on fresh buns for an easy but highly delicious game-day meal.
Potstickers, otherwise known as Chinese dumplings, are a lovely, more interesting snack to serve as a Super Bowl recipe.
You can fill them with flavorful ingredients like pork and cabbage, then fry them up and serve them with a delicious dipping sauce of soy sauce and vinegar.
A warm and hearty potato soup is always welcome on game day. This recipe uses simple ingredients like potatoes, butter, and whole milk.
I like customizing the toppings by leaving out bowls of shredded cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Cheesy BBQ beef dips entail combining ground beef, BBQ sauce, cheese, and spices into a single dip that's perfect for scooping up with chips.
The result is a genuinely dynamic game-day dip (in both taste and consistency) that only takes around 30 minutes to make.
These tasty rice balls are filled with bold flavors from chipotle peppers, chili powder, and Parmesan cheese to maintain the Italian appeal as well.
I like to serve them with sour cream and guacamole for a truly unique Super Bowl recipe.
Caviar may seem a bit too fancy for your game day celebrations, but Texas caviar, a.k.a. cowboy caviar, is a whole different story.
It incorporates white corn, black beans, pinto beans, peppers, and other tasty ingredients to create a wonderful dip that's better than the fancy stuff.
Hummus is a Middle Eastern spread made from chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice as the primary ingredients.
It works well for game day because you can use it for dipping chips, carrots, celery, and more.
Beer brat bites are a classic game-day snack made with onions, garlic, brats, and beer which is then baked until golden brown.
I love that they're not too heavy but still flavorful, plus they're easy to make ahead of the game day, so you can just pop them in the oven when it's time for kickoff.
This unique fusion appetizer utilizes the Western flavor of buttermilk ranch dressing and combines it with Chinese-style wonton wrappers.
The end result is an easy, delicious snack that everyone will enjoy and probably keep talking about after the party!
Jalapenos are my favorite additions in many recipes, and I absolutely love this jalapeno pepper dip for a Super Bowl recipe.
I recommend jalapeno popper dip for people who like a bit of spice and heat on game day.
It's creamy, cheesy, spicy, and crunchy, thanks to the jalapeno slices, and it's a great dip for chips, crackers, and veggies.
Having a few fresh, natural ingredients on the game day table is always refreshing to see.
Cobb salad subs include the main staples of this popular salad - spinach, ham, eggs, bacon, etc. - into a handheld sub.
Everyone loves chili-cheese dogs but making them one by one can be tedious for a large group. That's why I suggest trying out this chili-cheese dog dip.
I like to serve it with pretzels, crackers, tortilla chips - and even plain potato chips if you don't want anything too out of the ordinary on game day.
Frito Pie is an American dish composed of a layer of Fritos-brand corn chips topped with chili con carne, melted cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. What's not to love?
It is the perfect game-day dish because you can whip it up in minutes, but it's not basic or boring by any means.
Try this cherry cheesecake dip if you want something on the sweeter side.
The cherries add a tart, fruity contrast to the creamy and sweet cheesecake base.
The combination of textures makes it irresistible.
Cilantro tomato bruschetta is another one of the few healthier dishes on this list and is excellent for snacking on at the beginning of the game day event.
I love eating it alongside chips or crackers, and the freshness of the tomatoes and cilantro paired with a hint of garlic is truly amazing.
For a Mediterranean-inspired dish, check out this Greek pita spread recipe.
It combines impactful ingredients such as peppers, onions, cucumbers, feta cheese, and sour cream in a way that’ll remind you of your vacation in Santorini while cheering on your team.
Grilled chicken bacon sliders are simple yet delightful because chicken and bacon go so well together.
The fatty, salty goodness and crispiness of bacon pair swimmingly with the tender, milder chicken flavor.
Pepperoni pizza pasta is the perfect move if you can't decide whether you want to make pasta or pizza for game day.
This recipe demonstrates how to make creamy, cheesy pasta that incorporates the key flavors of a classic pizza through the help of pepperoni, Italian sausage, and mozzarella cheese.
There are many standout quesadilla ideas for game day, but this shrimp quesadilla recipe is one of my favorites.
Shrimp is a nice choice because it's unexpected for the Super Bowl. Your dish will stand out among all the chicken and bacon dishes on the table.
These homemade chips are a healthy swap for greasy chips and are super easy to make.
The buffalo ranch flavor combo is always a great one, plus you can adjust the heat level according to your preferences.
