As a loyal Midwesterner, I'll be rooting for Indiana this Super Bowl Sunday. Go Colts! My menu picks? Hearty, Midwestern comfort food favorites, including Indiana pork cutlets, beef and, yes, corn. This Indiana-inspired menu is hard to beat.

Indiana's Fried Pork Potato Skins: Pork cutlets are an Indiana favorite. Topped with a little mayo, mustard and hot sauce, they'll make amazing game-day noshes.

Buffalo Wings: If you (like me) make hot wings once a year, this is the easiest, most straight-forward recipe you can find. It's a sure crowd-pleaser!

Slow-Cooker Chili: Warm up with steaming bowls of beefy chili. You can throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker mid-morning and forget about them until game time.

Sweet-and-Spicy Kettle Corn: A nod to never-ending fields of corn, this popcorn gets dressed up for the big game with sugar and spice, an irresistible flavor combo.

Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate Malt Cupcakes: A classic, down-home dessert, you really can't go wrong with chocolate cupcakes. Set a plate out and watch them disappear.

Saints Fans: Check out our New Orleans-inspired menu from earlier this week.
