Super Bowl Party Food Ideas
1. Cajun Shrimp Guacamole Pizza
Nothing says party food like pizza, but we know the pepperoni, cheese, supreme act all too well. Instead, put a spin on the old favorite by changing up the flavor profile. This recipe adds a refreshing, and not so greasy, touch with cajun shrimp and guacamole. Completely out of the box, but super intriguing.
2. Tenderloin Bites with Blue Cheese and Caramelized Onions
Take a note from the dinner party playbook, and think steak. We can’t have guests strapped to a table while the game is going, so instead of a full steak, opt for these tenderloin bites. The recipe adds rich and complex flavors with the addition of blue cheese and caramelized onions, but each bite can still be popped into your mouth quickly.
3. Team Color Jello Shots
You obviously can’t have a Super Bowl party without some team spirit on display. Since jello shots are usually on the menu already, this recipe allows you to show off your team spirit, and if you’re nice, a little bit of spirit for the other side. If you want to simplify it, you can also layer the colors in traditional jello shot form.
4. Cheeseburger Bites
Burgers at a Super Bowl party are no surprise, but these burger bites will definitely be a welcomed treat from your guests! They are easy and don’t involve anything expensive or complex which is always the goal for a game day party. All the perks of a burger, without the commitment.
5. Garlic Shrimp Crostini
I know when you think of Super Bowl Party, you don’t immediately go to Crostini, but we’re stepping out of the box this game day. These flavorful bites will offer your guests something unique with familiar flavors. Skip out on the Seven-layer Dip and do these instead!
6. Baby Blooming Onions
A blooming onion is a top-tier appetizer, there is no arguing with that. But, making them at home can be quite tedious, difficult, and messy. Consider, instead, these baby-blooming onions, that make the task much more manageable, but give you the same result. Added bonus, you can place them throughout the space or move them easily.
7. Pulled Pork Pastry Puffs
These pastry puffs allow you to move off the grill and into the party! Instead of committing to being chained to the BBQ grill the entire time, or stuck in hot, unfavorable conditions, swap out the BBQ options for these pulled pork pastry puffs. The recipe calls for store-bought, but you can also make the pulled pork in advance. However, if the goal is to simplify your hosting experience, go for store-bought. Now you bring the BBQ flavor to the party without the BBQ labor.
8. Mini Beef Wellington Bites
These bites might just steal the show. These flavorful beef-wellingtons bites include a Dijon mustard sauce to top the already elegant take on a familiar, comfort food. A burst of flavor beautifully pilled onto a puff pastry will have your guests forgetting they are at a Super Bowl party!
9. Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese Tarts
Now you cannot get much easier than these goat cheese tarts. The process of making these sweet and savory bites does not involve anything complicated at all. With minimal effort, you’re left with a bite that seems much more elevated than it is. And since vegetarians are often left out of the party food conversation, these are an amazing option to add in.
10. Mini Lobster Rolls
This recipe just might be your biggest hit. A lobster roll is a familiar comfort but I can’t say it’s expected in a rotation of Super Bowl party foods. However, these little guys let you offer up as few or as many of these easy to grab bites as you choose. You can go all out and make them a main attraction or use them to fill out the menu in an unexpected way.
Whatever you choose to do for your Super Bowl party foods, remember that hosting at all is amazing enough! You’re opening your doors to welcomed chaos, your guests will be thankful for whatever party foods they can get! Trust me!
