Football Cheese Ball and Charcuterie Board
This fun board will feed the whole team and then some. You can prep the fruit and vegetables and make the cheeseball earlier in the day so all you have to do is put everything together on the board before the big game. If you have one, a large wooden carving board with a well around the edge that catches carving juices is ideal—you can tuck the folded charcuterie in the well to help it stand up and create the edge of your "stadium."

Muffuletta French Bread Pizza
Channel New Orlean’s iconic sandwich — full of cured meats, provolone and briny olive salad — with this easy game day (or any day!) French bread pizza. The olive salad can be made ahead and only gets better after a day or so in the fridge, though we like to let it come back to room temperature before topping the pizzas. Use the sliced meats listed below or any combination of Italian deli meats you like.

The Best Slow-Cooker Little Smokies
We took this quick and easy slow-cooker classic and gave it a little update--apple jelly stands in for the grape jelly and pairs perfectly with the maple syrup and tart cider vinegar.

Best Dry Rub for Chicken Wings
This dry rub works well on oven-roasted wings but would also be a great option for the air fryer or grill. Don’t use this on deep-fried wings, however, as the sugar will burn in the oil. Baking powder, which is an alkaline, speeds up the browning process for the wings — just be sure to use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid an unpleasant aftertaste. Tossing the wings in the salt-vinegar solution adds a bit of tang and helps distribute the flavor of the salt throughout.

Crispy Pepperoni Dip
Crispy mini pepperoni cups star in this creamy, zesty dip that’s perfect for game-day snacking. The dip can be made in a flash and a bit of honey and crushed red pepper flakes add sweet and spicy notes. It’s a fun and easy way to enjoy the familiar flavors of pepperoni pizza in an easy-to-eat and shared format. Serve with plenty of warm focaccia for scooping.

Pull-Apart Chopped Cheese
The cheesy ground beef, onion, lettuce and tomato sandwich known as a chopped cheese is a signature New York City sandwich and a relative newcomer. Its origins are generally credited to Spanish Harlem in the late 1990s and it’s since spread to bodegas and delis around the city and beyond. The “chop” in chopped cheese comes from crushing and chopping seasoned hamburger patties into small pieces with metal spatulas as they cook on a griddle and combining them with griddled onions. It’s usually made with melty American cheese on a hoagie or hero roll, but we use nutty Muenster cheese for this inspired slider-style version.

Kimchi jeon, a savory, flavor-packed Korean pancake, is a quick and easy dish usually enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Recipe developer Jackie Ji Yoon Park’s spin includes an entire can of corn plus shredded mozzarella in the batter — for a cheesy, subtly sweet twist on the original. A drizzle of Japanese-style mayo and a sprinkle of furikake before serving take the place of the usual soy sauce-based dipping sauce, adding a bit of richness, umami and texture. Make sure to use ice-cold water for the batter and don't skimp on oil when cooking the pancakes.
