Super Bowl Recipes

I have to admit, I am not a big TV sports fan. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good game in the ballpark — baseball, football, volleyball, you name it! 

But watching sports on TV has never done anything for me… EXCEPT for the Super Bowl.  I love to watch that game, and it’s only made better by throwing a really fun party.

Every one of my Super Bowl parties (whether I’m planning for 2 or 22) has four food elements: bite size food, burgers & sandwiches, dips & salsa, and sweet treats! 

I’ve combed through all of them to bring you more than 40 of our best Super Bowl foods to help simplify your Super Bowl party planning. Go team!!!
