football

The Big Game is this weekend and guess what? Our Panthers are playing!! We are so excited to cheer them on with friends on Sunday!

Now, if it weren’t for our team being in the game, I’d usually say the Super Bowl is all about the food and the commercials – am I right? I mean, I love a good football game, but I just miiiight just love good snacks even more.

Below I’ve collected some of my favorite EASY recipes for serving to friends and family. Whether you’re cheering on the Panthers or the Broncos this weekend, or you’re just joining in for the food, these easy recipes are sure to make your Super Bowl experience much more delicious!

Slow Cooker Chili – When cooking for a big group of people (or even a small one) I love making something that requires little effort, but has a big payoff. This chili recipe is perfect for serving a large crowd easily! You can substitute ground turkey, or even leave out the meat entirely for a vegetarian option. You just throw everything in the crock pot in the morning and it’ll be ready by game time!

Slow Cooker Corn Dip – This corn dip is currently one of my favorite recipes to make for friends because it always gets rave reviews. My favorite thing is catching someone camped out by the food with their plate of chips, eating straight from the crock pot. This dip is super easy and completely delicious. If you have a smaller slow cooker it’s perfect for this recipe. You can always double or triple the batch and use a regular-sized slow cooker if you’re really serving a huge group of friends!

Guacamole – What’s a Super Bowl party without guacamole?? Need I say more?

Blood Orange Strawberry Limeade – If you need a break from soda and beer at your Super Bowl get together, this is a refreshing alternative. Blood oranges are in season right now, so it’s the perfect time to pick a few up and make this delicious limeade. Make it the night before or in the afternoon before the game and refrigerate it till you’re ready to serve.

Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – These cookies. Just make them. You’ll thank me later.

Notes

I use a tiny slow cooker for this recipe and it works perfectly! It's just the right size for all the ingredients and works well as a serving bowl too. If you're using a larger slow cooker, you may be able to shorten the cooking time a bit. If you try it - let me know how it goes!!
