Who’s gearing up for Super Bowl LVI to watch the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals? MORE IMPORTANTLY…. who’s gearing up for the best TV commercials of the year, AND the most delicious food to go with it? Here are our top picks of Tasty eats to prepare for this year’s Big Game on Sunday, February 13th, 2022!
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
This recipe for Buffalo Chicken Meatballs provides all of the flavors of classic buffalo wings, without all the tedious effort of frying chicken wings, AND without all the guilt of greasy chicken wings. Ground chicken and buffalo sauce star with ranch or bleu cheese dressing with a savory drizzle. Make the meatballs ahead of time in the slow cooker. Reheat and keep the meatballs warm for the game in the slow cooker too!
Crock Pot Little Smokies
Let me start by saying that this recipe only calls for 3 ingredients. How much more simple can you get? The best part is that you put all 3 ingredients into your slow cooker and just let it do its thing! All you need to do here is add a couple of packages of cocktail wieners, with a jar of grape jelly and a jar of chili sauce. Combine them in the slow cooker, set the temperature on low, and let it sit for 4-6 hours. You can also make this recipe with a bottle of BBQ Sauce (we recommend Sweet Baby Rays). So easy to put together and really, quite delicious!
Popcorn
It just wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t mention that popcorn is also a game-day staple. With so many different directions to go with your popcorn snacks for the Super Bowl, the options are endless. Not a fan of this year’s Big Game teams? Show your NFL Team pride with your team’s popcorn tin! I’m sure we can all agree that popcorn is an excellent half-time snack.
Pigskin in a Blanket
Pigskin in a blanket is quite possibly the most festive appetizer to serve for your game-day Super Bowl party! Traditional pigs in a blanket are arranged together in a football shape. Bake, and then finish with a lace design of yellow mustard. You can swap this out for any condiment that you like. I think the extra step of covering the “blankets” in an egg wash and sprinkling on some fresh-cracked pepper and a little coarse sea salt takes this appetizer to a new level.
Doritos Taco Salad
Like just about everyone else on planet earth, I love Doritos. I don’t eat them often, but it’s definitely in this taco salad when I do. I make this recipe for pot lucks and parties, and it’s always the first thing gone. It’s that good. You can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey and add any other taco fixings that you like.
Enjoy!
