Super Bowl Party Food Ideas

Need some Super Bowl party food ideas? 

I have to admit that I don't normally care much about football, but here in Michigan it was an exciting year so I got into it just a little bit.  My guys are huge University of Michigan fans and they won the National Championship this year, so that was fun!  And nobody (except the total die-hards) has been much of a Detroit Lions fan for decades because as Kent said, it's always just a big let down.  They've been bad for so long, I remember being a kid and my Dad complaining about them back then, lol.  But this year they were only ONE win away from making it to the Super Bowl…  and they lost.  It was very sad!

Even if you're not into football, just going to the Super Bowl parties for the food and the friends is okay too.  🙂

So with the big day coming soon, I'm sharing some party food ideas with you so you'll hopefully be able to avoid the junky snacks from the store.

Healthy snacks really are delicious, and don't worry, that doesn't mean recipes with things like tofu or flax seed, you won't see that stuff around here.  Nope, just real butter and cream (to mention a couple of my favorite real food ingredients), and other traditional foods in recipes that will make your mouth water…

I've put together a list of my favorite party recipes and suggestions that are filled with good-for-you fats and are loaded with nutrients.  But most important of all, they are delicious and always a hit at parties.

If you have any more favorites to share, please let us know in the comments, thanks guys!

• Feel like chicken wings? Just get them at a farm where you know they raise the chickens humanely
  and out on pasture (find healthy meat here), and you can eat all you want!  Try these:  Keegan’s Best Chicken Wings Recipe.  Or make this Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip appetizer recipe.
• You could have these healthy hot dogs.
• Grass-fed burgers are always a hit.
• Enchiladas

• Instead of those nasty frozen packaged meatballs, make your own meatballs earlier in the week from grass-fed ground beef, and then freeze. The day of the game, just throw them into a crock-pot with your favorite sauce! (We loooove this barbecue sauce or you could make your own homemade barbecue sauce.)
• You could find some organic tortilla chips, and make healthy nachos.

• I love this white chicken chili!  Party tip: Tell everyone to bring their favorite chili and have a mini “Super Bowl Chili Cook Off.” It's a fun way to try other people's recipes, and all you have to do is set up all the fixings (shredded cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, etc.) for the toppers.
• Have a soup bar and make 2 or 3 of your favorite soups.  Or have everyone bring their favorite soup to try.  Need recipe ideas?  Check out all my yummy soup recipes here.  This Simple Taco Soup is always a hit!

• Don't want to miss a minute of the game?  Making a casserole will allow you to prep it all before kick-off and let it cook unattended so you don't miss any of the action.  Try my Make-Ahead Burrito Casserole,  Make-Ahead Shepherd's Pie, Mojito Lime Bake, or my Baked Spaghetti Pie.
• Last, and certainly not least, don't forget your Crock Pot.  It's a great way to serve tasty, nutritious food with minimal effort.  My Italian Beef Recipe and Barbecued Beef are both yummy served on buns.  Or even faster, here are handy ways to use your pressure cooker:  10 Best Ways to Use a Pressure Cooker for Healthy FAST Meals (and counting…)

Sweet Treat Ideas:

• Homemade Smores Bars
