With the Super Bowl just a few weeks away, have you decided what to serve the crowds of screaming football fans that will be invading your home? Do yourself a favor and keep it simple. No one will want to leave the game for a formal meal. Just give them snacks they can enjoy while they watch the game.
Set up a nice buffet table near the television so everyone can eat when they want. Use crock pots if you need to keep some dishes hot. Crock pots are great for chili, stew or pulled pork for sandwiches. Swedish meatballs are fun and easy to eat. Serve them with a box of toothpicks so your guests can serve themselves. Other simple hot dishes that you may want to make include spaghetti or lasagna. It is easy to prepare these foods ahead of time and cook them as needed. Set the pot or pan out on the table and let your guests dig in. Buffalo wings are always a popular snack and they are super simple to make ahead of time. Just reheat.
Everyone loves chips and dip. You can also place cream cheese on a plate and pour salsa over it. Serve it with tortilla chips for a quick dish. Make some deli sandwiches using French or Italian bread. Fill them up with sliced cheese and cold cuts, wrap them in plastic, and put them in the fridge until you need them. Cut and serve as needed. If you want, you can even pop some in the oven for warming.
Use bread bowls for people to use for chili or even spaghetti. The bowl will taste as good as the filling. Make a bunch of baked potatoes or hot dogs and set them out with toppings. Your guests can design their own dog or potato by adding their favorites.
If you want to stick with an appetizers only party, your choices are endless. From simple cheese and crackers to sausage rolls, you cannot go wrong. You can even find a recipe for beer puffs. Anything wrapped in bacon will be a hit. Wrap bacon around a cube of cheese, a shrimp, or a slice of sausage for an appetizer that will be gone as soon as you put it on the table. Do not worry so much about healthy snacks during the Super Bowl… it is one day that everyone wants to nosh on foods that make them feel good.
Provide your thirsty guests with plenty to drink. Keep a cooler of beer and soda on hand to quench that thirst that occurs from screaming at the television during extremely good or bad plays. Stock up on several varieties so everyone can enjoy their favorites. Keep them chilled on ice in a few coolers near the food table.
Whatever Superbowl recipes you make for your party, be sure to prepare enough to keep everyone fed. Lay out your foods in shifts so there is always something for your guests to choose from. You do not want to be known as the host who ran out of food before halftime.
Your guests will appreciate the efforts you went to providing them with a delicious afternoon. They will remember your successful party for a long time and you will even get to watch the game most of the time.
