The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world. In the United States, the huge final game of the NFL season is considered a holiday, and the fans across the country like to get everything set and ready for a genuine feast on the day. Like any respectable American household, you will want to throw a Super Bowl party that will be long remembered. To do this, you will need to find just the right appetizers and snacks to serve and fortunately, we are here to offer you the very best recipes you could possibly want for the occasion.
You’ll find a way to root for one of the two teams even if your favorite has failed to make it to the grand final. PointsBet Sportsbook, or any other sports betting operator available in the country, can help as a wager will easily get you involved in the match. Nevertheless, whether it turns out to be a scintillating triumph or a painful defeat, some of the following appetizer and snack recipes will no doubts help throughout the process. Here is the list of some most popular and best snacks to sustain you during the greatest match of the season:
Kettle Chip Nachos
An ideal substitution for standard tortillas, nachos have been people’s favorites for a while, and that’s for a reason. Regardless of the variant (cheese, bean, spicy sausage, or individual nacho stacks), nachos will do the job. The best part is that you need no more than 10 minutes to prepare them.
Kettle chip nachos are a snack that everyone will love, simply because they can come in so many different flavors. For the most part, nachos are made with some spice, but this is not necessary either. If you don’t like spicy food, go with cheese, sour cream, or other spreads.
Buffalo Wings
This is a classic. Not a single important game can go without the good-old buffalo chicken wings. You can go with the standard option and still make everyone happy, or gamble with somewhat more exotic variants like tequila-lime chicken drumsticks. The marinade featuring tequila, lime, and honey will conquer your hearts in no time.
When it comes to preparation, you should probably stay away from frying the wings as this can be quite messy. Instead, bake them in an oven for 50 to 60 minutes and then pour over any kind of sauce you prefer. There are plenty of sauces you can pick from. The one thing you will want to make sure of is that you get that nice crispy feel to your wings.
Pizza with Pickled Onions and Peppers
Can you name a person who is not a pizza fan? Even if you can, they will likely change the opinion after you serve a blend of peppers, pickled onions, several kinds of cheese, and fresh parsley on a pizza. To maximize the deliciousness and adjust it to the ambient, cut the pizza into small slices to transform it into a snack rather than a dinner.
This amazing spicy pizza will get everyone talking about your party for a long time to come. The preparation is quite simple, just like any other pizza. In this case, it is the special blend of cheeses and pickled onions that will turn your Super Bowl Sunday into a special affair.
Guacamole
If you don’t have enough time but still want to impress your guests on a Super Bowl evening, guacamole will do the job. You will create a knockout appetizer with minimal effort and limited ingredients. Use chopped cilantro leaves as a key ingredient and serve guacamole with crudités, crackers, or chips for a spicy dip.
Of course, you could always go with more than one of the appetizers we mentioned, and putting them together will likely be a huge success. Offering guacamole with some tacos or tortillas will make for a genuine experience.
Stuffed Jalapenos
We will complete the list with another super-fast and efficient recipe. You don’t need more than a couple of minutes to mix cheddar and cream cheese in a bowl, season the mixture with salt and pepper and fill your jalapenos with the blend. Bake it for about 10 minutes and bang – they’ll be gobbled up by the halftime show. We can’t guarantee that fiery stuffed jalapenos won’t distract you from the game, though.
The big problem with serving foods as spicy as jalapenos is that some people surely won’t be able to enjoy them. For that reason, make sure that you have other snacks and appetizers on offer and make some of them less spicy. This way, everyone will be able to enjoy the flavor they most prefer.
Southwestern Egg Rolls
Egg rolls are certainly a popular appetizer around America, but this Southwestern twist will make for an absolute hit at your party. These rolls are inspired by the popular Chili’s appetizer and stuffed with crunchy cheese and creamy avocado sauce. Here is an appetizer that you can use as an alternative to all the spicier ones we have listed earlier, for those with more sensitive taste buds.
Another variation on the recipe is the southwestern chicken egg rolls. As you predicted, the main ingredient in these is chicken, but things like corn, black beans, and jalapenos can all also be a part of the mix. In the end, you can always play with flavors, sauces, and extras, just remember to think of your guests and not only yourself.
Get the Party Started
You have your recipes now and you are ready to start preparing the food for the biggest sporting holiday of the year. Remember to spread different types of food around for your different guests and make sure you are not banking on a single type of appetizer. Going with a few ideas from our list should make for an amazing watch party for everyone.
