A great way to start the party and get the guests a little full before you serve the food. You can never go wrong with chips and dip. They’re so easy to prepare, and there’s an abundance of ways you can serve it. Chips and salsa? Chips and guac? Just chips? See!

#4 – Nachos 

Everyone loves the taste of a classic tortilla chip. What’s even better is the combination of the chips, guacamole, salsa, cheese, olives, and meat. It’s almost impossible not to enjoy this. You can make them with a family recipe or a recipe off the internet, but any way you make it is so good. Plus, its also to make huge platters of nachos, which makes your hungry guests happy. 

 

 

#3 – Pigs in a Blanket 

A classic childhood appetizer most forget about. All you need for this kid friendly dish is some hot dogs and some dough. Wrap up the pork in dough and stick it in the oven and cook for some time and enjoy! Dip them into a sauce of your choice to give them an even better taste. Your guests will definitely enjoy this at the beginning of the game. 

#2 – Pizza 

Pizza is a favorite for takeout food for every other day, but for Super Bowl Sunday, you can’t beat it. This day for every pizza chain is the busiest. If you’re not into waiting for the pizza to arrive, you can make some really good pies yourself. The cook at home can use pre made crusts and put the cheese, sauce and toppings on. Or if they really want to show off their cooking skills, they can make their own dough. Pizza is really good to serve, especially if you have a crowd of people in your home.
