While we aren’t really football watchers around here (Sean’s die-hard for fútbol), we do get down with some game-day fare. I mean, I’m into game days and the Superbowl…if there are snacks and treats galore. Below are just a few recipes that I think would totes be Big Game appropriate.
QUESO, y’all! It’s a cheesy, spicy, gooey hot tub for chips and other dip-ables. It’s a processed-cheese-free dream.
There isn’t much to say here, I mean it’s pickles dipped in beer batter, then deep fried. These are arguably the best-ever snack to accompany a super chilled beer. Photo below by me, recipe on my girl–Megan’s–blog.
All the goodness of a corn dog, miniaturized on a stick. These pretty much eliminate the awkwardness that is eating a corn dog. Plus, you can have like, half a dozen or more!
In case you want another option besides the standard chili (I know I’m not kidding anyone here, chili is the business), this potato soup is just a bit lighter, totally filling and warm, and can be topped with all kinds of goodness…just like chili.
Streusel-Topped and Rocky Road Brownies
Brownies from scratch are among the easiest, most satisfying desserts around. They can feed a crowd and adaptations are endless. I love these two brownies–I mean, crunchy streusel or gooey, nutty rocky road. It’s a tough choice, but one could totally make both!

Everyone knows the best part of the “big game” is the food! Well, I guess that’s what all non-football fans always say 🙂 I mean, you can’t even say it’s the SB or you’ll be fined a million dollars, right? We prefer fútbol, too! The boys are way cuter 🙂
cindy
hail, yeah! they are way cuter 😉 I’m glad we agree on all fronts!

What a spread! This all looks amazing…especially those brownies! 🙂
cindy
thanks Sara!
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe
This post came at the perfect time. I was just invited to a Superbowl party and offered to bring a savoury snack! I have no idea who is even playing in the Superbowl, but I’m excited for the food!
cindy
I never know either, I’m seriously only ever in it for the snacks and drinks!
Megan
I still need that cheese dip!
cindy
hell yeah, you do!
Sarah
OHHH the brownies. You know, here in Australia we are seriously lacking in the area of big ‘game day’ get togethers! I think I might have to introduce this tradition to the country. Just to get the snacks, of course.
cindy
you totally should…even if it’s just an excuse 😉
Maggie @ A Bitchin' Kitchen
I want ALL of this, especially the streusel-topped brownies! I’m going to a Superbowl Party on Sunday, strictly for the food. It’s the only thing I like about football 🙂
cindy
way to be, Maggie 😉

Oh there are some tasty things in this list! I’m with you on the beer-battered pickles. Tried them a few years ago and never looked back – best. combination. ever.
cindy
totally, right?! Thanks, Jess!
Laura Dembowski
These all look super bowl worthy. I have always wanted to try fried pickles. They sound so yummy!
cindy
Thanks, Laura! They are delish!
