Our Best Super Bowl Party Ideas

It’s the biggest game of the season and, if you ask us, that means it’s time to go big or go home — when it comes to your Super Bowl spread, of course! We’re talking about plenty of snacks, hearty mains, fan-favorite desserts, cheer-worthy cocktails and more. If the thought of pulling together a menu that can please die-hard football fans and serious snackers (who only show up for the food!) seems like a stretch, don’t worry. With this versatile roundup of recipes you’re sure to create an all-star lineup. From chili to chicken wings, each and every one of these recipes is an MVP in its own right but if we had to choose favorites we’d start with this garbage bread. Roll everything you love about a bacon cheeseburger in dough, bake to golden-brown perfection and serve with special sauce. The result? An irresistible dish worthy of the win!

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.

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."

Guacamole

This is the guacamole for those who appreciate chunky texture. To avoid mashing or overmixing, use a rubber spatula or large fork to gently combine the avocado, tomato and jalapeno. Stir in some roughly chopped fresh coriander for a hint of lemony flavor.
