When assessing some of the biggest events on the calendar, not many of them come close to the Super Bowl. In fact, for many people in the Hamptons, hosting a party for this season’s Super Bowl LX is an understandable preference given how big it is. However, every host needs to get the food right.
Sure, offering your usual selection of drinks will more than suffice, but many NFL fans will be expecting some Super Bowl classics ahead of the occasion at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on February 8. Be it when they arrive to explore Super Bowl odds or when they’re celebrating a big win while posting a video on Instagram, the grub on offer is always a major part of any Super Bowl event. Super Bowl LX will be no different, with party-goers ready to not only watch the action and passionately chant, but also to stuff their faces with some delectable delights.
If you’re keen to throw a Super Bowl party to remember, then below is a brief look at some seriously tasty dishes you should consider cooking up for your football-mad guests. Make no mistake about it, if you nail the food, then they’ll be back next year.
Sliders
First thing’s first, sliders are essential for any Super Bowl get-together. Ham and cheese sliders are easier to prepare than most and will be consumed within minutes, although it’s probably worth going a step further by preparing burger sliders for your Super Bowl LX party. From cheeseburger sliders to fried chicken sliders, the options are extensive here and they always deliver.
Tailgate tots
Of course, you don’t want to give yourself too much work to do. Sure, your fellow NFL fans deserve the very best, but there’s a massive game to watch. That’s where simple but tasty dishes can work for your Super Bowl LX bash, with options like tailgate tots always going down well. Simply by layering tater tots with bacon, chopped chives, sour cream, and a cheese sauce of your choice, you’ll have a gorgeous dish for your loved ones to eat.
Puppy Chow
With the abundance of savory food you’re going to be serving up, your guests might also need something sweet to tuck into. That’s where puppy chow comes in handy, a popular sweet treat among NFL communities. Whether you want to have a peanut butter-filled creation or go with a Snickers-themed puppy chow bowl, it’ll go down a treat with your Super Bowl guests.
7-layer dip
After purchasing nacho chips, creating the perfect 7-layer dip to go with them is essential. You can choose your personal favorites for this Mexican-inspired creation, although we’d recommend including the likes of refried beans, sour cream, cheese, guacamole, and salsa. From there, you can add crispy veggies for crunch, with some hosts going for sweetcorn, olives, and tomatoes.
Chicken wings
For most NFL fanatics, chicken wings are simply a must. Whether you opt to go with a spicy version or a sweeter barbecue option, chicken wings are straightforward to prepare, and they’ll be devoured in seconds by your hungry, football-loving guests.
Jalapeno poppers
If you want to give your party-goers a bit of a spicy kick to get them in the mood, then jalapeno poppers will do the job. You can simply air fry this stunning finger food, all after stuffing jalapenos with chunks of bacon and cubes of cheese. It really is that simple.
Other options include homemade pizza, nachos, loaded potato skins, quesadilla ring, pulled pork sandwiches, frito chili pie, deep-fried pickles, and chicken tenders.
