A Winning Lineup
It’s the biggest game of the season and you’re no doubt expecting a houseful of hungry fans. Even if you’ve enlisted the help of your guest and are planning a potluck-style spread of all the classics (like chili, chicken wings and fun desserts) you’re going to need to make a few snacks and small bites to round things out. You’ll find all the recipes you need in this roundup. We’ve got dips, jalapeño poppers, pigs in a blanket and more. A guaranteed winner? This flaky, golden ring of crescent dough, packed with all the flavors of a cheesy, chicken enchilada. It’s portable (so your guests can eat by the television!) and sure to please — making it perfect for parties.
Get the Recipe: Enchilada Crescent Ring
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."
Get the Recipe: Football Cheese Ball and Charcuterie Board
Everything Bagel Veggie Chips
You'll never guess these tasty, crispy, colorful, veggie chips are made from only 3 ingredients! A spritz of cooking spray and a sprinkle of savory everything seasoning are all it takes to make potatoes into a quick easy snack. We threw in a creamy horseradish sauce, too, just because it goes so well.
Get the Recipe: Everything Bagel Veggie Chips
Vegan Queso
Raw cashews are transformed into a creamy and flavorful dairy-free queso that'll cure all your cravings.
Get the Recipe: Vegan Queso
Jamaican Meat Pie Footballs
What better way to celebrate the big game than with a spicy meat-filled patty shaped like a football? Nothing is wasted here — even the puff pastry scraps are used to make laces.
Get the Recipe: Jamaican Meat Pie Footballs
Spiced Mixed Cocktail Nuts with Pretzels
Toss mixed nuts and mini pretzels with a spice blend of paprika, dry mustard and cinnamon for the perfect snack.
Get the Recipe: Spiced Mixed Cocktail Nuts with Pretzels
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. A splash of bourbon adds a grown-up note to this party favorite. You can use either the pork or beef variety of smoked cocktail sausages.
Get the Recipe: The Best Slow-Cooker Little Smokies
Southwestern Egg Rolls
Egg rolls with a Southwest twist: Inspired by a favorite appetizer at Chili's — these are crunchy and cheesy with a creamy avocado dipping sauce.
Get the Recipe: Southwestern Egg Rolls
Hot Corn Dip
Whip up Ree's cheesy corn dip the day of the big game, or make it up to two days ahead and bake right before serving — guests will devour it quickly either way. You simply can't go wrong with grilled corn, buttery vegetables and shredded cheese.
Get the Recipe: Hot Corn Dip
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.
