7 Recipes for the Big Game
Are you ready for some footballll (party recipes for the big game)?!? We thought you might be, so we rounded up seven of our favorite game day recipes to make your Sunday simpler so that you can kick back and enjoy the game without missing a single play.
Of course we have our favorite appetizers and dips, but we also have some delicious recipes that guests can customize with their favorite toppings (because BFF Mateo wants extra cheese and Aunt Patty hates cilantro). Plus our favorite football salad — because you know someone in the family is going to want some greens.
So let’s dive in and get ready for some football!
Creamy Stuffed Peppers Appetizer
Each one of these stuffed peppers packs a creamy punch. They’re filled with chicken and spinach all in a creamy mixture of cream cheese, sour cream and white cheddar cheese. Pop them in the oven and just wait for your guests to wander into the kitchen wondering when they’ll be done.
Sweet Potato Taco Boats with Ground Beef
If you’ve got a house full of picky eaters — this is the recipe for you. Just lay out your topping bar with everyones’ favorites, roast your sweet potatoes and prep your ground beef. Tada! A (healthy-er) football taco bar that everyone can enjoy.
Bacon + Caramelized Onion Sour Cream Party Dip
This is the perfect make-ahead party dip. Sweet onions are caramelized and then mixed with bacon, cream cheese and sour cream. Bring on the chips and veggie sticks. You’ll be lucky if this dip makes it to halftime.
Sheet Pan Turkey Nachos
Got a crowd to feed but also want to watch the game yourself? Prep the turkey and black bean mixture on Sunday morning (or even Saturday night). When you’re ready to eat, just toss all the ingredients on a sheet pan and let your oven do the work. This recipe will keep everyone full and let you kick your feet up too.
Easy Spinach-Artichoke Mini Tarts
We love an appetizer that’s so bite-sized we feel like we can eat 10 of them. These mini tarts combine creamy artichoke and spinach with a mini kick from the chopped green chiles. Prep the filling in advance to make your tart prep quick and easy day-of.
Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing
Yes, we’ve come to the salad. Look, we know that most guests just want the creamy dips and nachos, but we think this salad is so delicious that you can change their mind. Our wedge salad is super simple to prepare and uses a homemade buttermilk blue cheese dressing that no one will be able to resist.
Hot Artichoke Dip
Hot Artichoke Dip is an absolute classic and we fully intend to enjoy every bite of it. Just 6 ingredients, mix them together and pop this appetizer in the oven for a creamy, zingy and delicious game day dip.
