My favorite part about watching the Super Bowl is the food! I know, it should be the halftime show…I mean the football game, but the food is just so good. I generally get excited about the food in most situations. Watching football gives me an excuse to make some of my favorite game day classics – wings, potato skins, lil smokies, dips. For our Super Bowl party we go all out, it usually replaces lunch and dinner for that day.

We thought that we would compile a list of our favorite Super Bowl recipes for you to have on hand for the big game. You are going to love these Super Bowl recipes, they are the best of the best for the biggest game of the year! We have a little bit of everything for you… saucy meats, savory appetizers, sweet treats, and delicious dips. Everything you could possibly need for the Super Bowl (or any tailgate, game day, or sporting event party really).

Dips

You can’t have a real party without some kind of dip on the serving table, right? You can go with a traditional nacho cheese, guacamole, or bean dip or go out on a limb and try something new like our Warm Bacon Cheese Dip or our Dorito Dip – a dip made especially for Nacho Cheese Doritos.

Hot Dips

  • Nacho Cheese Dip: Grab the tortilla chips and dive right into this cheesy dip. The Ro-tel tomatoes add just the right amount of spice to make it absolutely irresistible.
  • Easy Cheese Sauce: This creamy, smooth dip goes perfectly with nachos, pretzels, steamed veggies and more.
  • Warm Bacon Cheese Dip in Sourdough: This hot dip is loaded with cheese and bacon. It bakes to perfection in the oven and smells as wonderful as it tastes.

Cold Dips

  • The Best Guacamole Ever: Combine avocado, red onion, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes, fresh lime, and a few seasonings and you’ve got the best guacamole ever!
  • Beau’s Clam Dip: Our creamy clam dip is loaded with minced clams and fresh lemon. It is so good! It tastes the best with salty, ridged potato chips (Lay’s or Ruffles).
  • Dorito Dip: Not a dip made of Doritos, but a dip for Doritos. Trust us, you will never want to eat Doritos without it again.
  • 5 Minute Creamy Corn Dip: Really! It only takes 5-minutes to mix up this dip. You can eat it immediately or make it ahead and then chill it in the fridge.
  • Nine Layer Dip: Layers of refried beans (or refried black beans), guacamole, sour cream, cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, salsa and more. Everything you could ever want to eat on a tortilla chip!
  • Easy Fruit Dip: Yes, there are football fans out there who would love a little fruit during the Super Bowl. This smooth and sweet dip is so perfect for fresh fruit.
  • Easy Spinach Dip: With only 5 ingredients, this spinach dip can be made in a snap. But, it tastes best chilled so make sure to make it ahead.
