Super Bowl party recipes: Best 10 foods to have

Beer

There are plenty of alcoholic options available on the market, but no party worth its salt doesn’t have beer for the 21+ crowd to enjoy. Which beer you pick is often a matter of personal preference, but the best spreads have a few different varieties available, whether it is classic brands like Bud Light and Miller Lite or unique craft beers that are popular in your area.

The Hero Sandwich

The Super Bowl is an occasion where people don’t want to be sitting down at a table with a knife and fork trying to eat their food while the game is on, so portability is the key to options. One of the staples in this regard is the big three or six foot heroes, offering the ability to grab a nice big piece of sandwich (the usual suspects being the Italian and American varieties), plop it on a plate, and head back into the living room to watch the game.

The “Salads”

While the main dishes get all the hype, its important to have good side salads in your spread to complement the hero and wings. Macaroni salad, potato salad, and Cole slaw are usually the most popular choices to put out on the side, and most catering venues will include a pound of salad for each foot of hero that you order.

Pizza

The hero is one portable option, but pizza is certainly another crowd pleaser since no one can turn down the appeal of a good slice. Be as creative as you want with your toppings, with the standard plain, pepperoni, meat lovers, and chicken pizzas available as proven crowd pleasers.
