Top Super Bowl party recipes (Photos)

Super Bowl Sunday is coming up on February 3. And while the football game is the excuse to have a party, for many people, the food is the main event. Wings and pizza are popular take-out choices, but here’s a list of recipes that are guaranteed to add lots of flavor and a bit more “wow” to your Super Bowl get-together.

Slow cooker recipes are great for Game Day because you can throw them together in the morning and let the crockpot do the work. Your food will be ready just in time to sit down for the game. Snacks and appetizers make it easy to serve a bunch of different options for your guests, and they’re also great for bringing to a party you’re attending. And to round it out, there are even a few lighter options so that you don’t have Party Remorse on Monday morning.
