Super Bowl Recipe Round-Up

Fact:

I don’t love football.

Fact:

I love preparing football-watching food for John and I to enjoy while we he watches the game.

Here’s a round-up of some Super Bowl snacks, meals, and desserts that are sure to please both Steelers and Packers fans alike next weekend.

Let’s kick things off with some snacks:

Caramelized Onion & Yogurt Dip

Creamy, a bit sweet, and perfect when served with crunchy pita chips or crisp crudite.

Cinnamon & Sugar Roasted Mixed Nuts

Crunchy, sweet, and a bit salty… these nuts are highly addictive!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip

Clearly a dessert dip, this is best served at room temperature with sliced apples, cinnamon & sugar pita chips, or a big spoon ;).

Next up, chili! Ubiquitous football-watching food, for sure.

Fiery Red Chili

This spicy chili has just enough meat in it to satisfy any carnivore, but a hefty dose of beans keeps it healthy.

• White Chicken Chili

Different, yes. Delicious? Absolutely! This white chicken chili takes a little bit of time to prepare, but the creamy end result is so worth it.

If you’re less than thrilled with the idea of a slow-cooking dish, how about some quick-to-make chili cheese fries?

Chili Cheese Fries

I used leftover chili for these beauties, but you could use canned chili in a pinch.

Another classic Super Bowl offering is pizza. And calzones. Which are basically pizzas rolled up into their own crust.

Eggplant Parm Pizza

Eggplant Parmesan. Pizza. What’s not to love?

Jalapeno Ranch BBQ Chicken Pizza

One of John’s favorites. Barbecue chicken meets pizza in the Southwest.

• Buffalo Chicken Calzones

If you’re a fan of wings, you will LOVE these!

• Taco Calzones with Avocado Cream

This Italian-Mexican hybrid is one of my all-time favorite creations. And let’s be honest… avocados make everything better.

What’s a Super Bowl party without something sweet to accompany the fourth quarter?
