Super Bowl Recipes are the real MVPs of football season. On any given Sunday in January, tens of millions of people watch football games from their couch, and each year in February, over 100 million people gather in front of their televisions to watch the biggest winner-take-all showdown in US sports — the Super Bowl.
Some are there to root on their favorite team; some to boo a long-hated rival. While others watch to simply catch the commercials. Regardless of why you’re tuning in, it’s the food that will really make game day special.
The secret to a winning spread is an array of your favorite grilled and smoked foods. We recommend food that doesn’t need a knife and fork. Even better, choose foods that can be eaten with one hand so the other is free to hold the beer. Think grilled Buffalo wings, BBQ beef ribs you can pick up by the bone, and juicy brats fresh from a brat tub beer bath. To get you started on the ultimate game day menu, here are more of our tried-and-true recipes. Don’t forget plenty of napkins.
