Whether you watch the Super Bowl for the football, for the commercials or as just as a reason to drink beer and eat your weight in food, you can always have fun getting together with friends and making it into a potluck occasion.
While I am a big football fan, I don’t always care about who is playing. Sometimes I fall into the “only here for the food category” but this year I will be cheering on my team, the Patriots, against the Falcons in Super Bowl LI. I even have my Edelman jersey ready to go (if you don’t know who he is – just look him up).
So that you don’t show up empty handed for your Super Bowl party, I have put together a recipe guide perfect for watching the Super Bowl or for participating in any other game day. While these aren’t the healthiest recipes, “healthiest” gets tossed aside for this Sunday. Think: chicken wings, things topped with cheese, fried anything, sour cream and bacon. Oh well, I guess you can count the celery and the carrots that go with the wings as “healthy”. Whether a tailgate or watch party these recipes are sure to be a hit.
