Easiest Super Bowl Party Food Menu

The Big Game is upon us, and if you’re anything like us, you know it’s more about the commercials, the menu and the people that surround us than anything else. This year, as we were planning our Super Bowl Menu, we asked you if you’d prefer we share healthy alternatives or the “real deal” recipes, and your votes were almost split down the middle. Because we were also torn, we decided on the easiest Super Bowl party food menu we’re calling the Halfway Homemade, Halfway Healthy Halftime Menu.

The Easiest Super Bowl Party Food Menu

When it came time to pick our menu, the first things that came to mind were burgers and fries, chips and sandwiches and a shareable grazing board everyone can dig into. From there, we decided on healthy alternatives for the sides and the real deal recipes for the main bites. With that, we came up with:

• Cheeseburger Slider Bake and Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries
• Barbeque Pulled Pork and Coleslaw Biscuits and Roasted Beet Chips
• Celery, Cauliflower, Pretzel Bites, Hummus and Cheese Dip Grazing Board

Game On! How to Plate the Main Bites

We found a two-tiered wire basket stand at Old Time Pottery we loved for displaying our burgers and fries and biscuit sandwiches and chips. We designated the top basket for the biscuits and chips and the bottom for burgers and fries. Then, we simply lined each basket with white napkins and divided them by placing the burgers/sandwiches on one side and the fries/chips on the other. Bonus: The handle makes it super easy to transfer the tray from the outdoor pre-game party to the indoor coffee table when it’s game time!

Want to save more time in the kitchen on Game Day?

One key to being an attentive host is to spend quality time with your guests. That is often hard to accomplish, however, when you are making final preparations in the kitchen. The best way to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with loved ones on Game Day is to prepare as much as possible the night before.

What to Prepare the Night Before

• Cheeseburger filling
• Coleslaw
• Roasted Beet Chips

Be sure to refrigerate the items above overnight and then prepare your menu according to the directions included in this post. It will not only be a tasty spread but also the easiest Super Bowl party food menu that’s different than anything anyone has had before.
