Football Playoff Snacking

101 of the best easy super bowl recipe ideas for your football playoff party! Eat well on game day whether at home or tailgating!

Football season is heating up with the NFL playoffs quickly coming! Good food and snacks are an essential part of watching the game whether you’re watching alone, throwing a party, going to a party or even tailgating! With that in mind I have gathered some of my favourite football munchies recipes and they include everything from decadent dips to chicken wings, chilies, grilled meat, jalapeno poppers, potato skins and grilled cheese sandwiches! All of these recipes are easy to make and many of them are even slow cooker friendly so drop that phone and don’t bother ordering takeout or simply throwing some chips in a bowl when you can make something far better at home with little or no effort! No matter which of these recipes you make, they are all sure to keep you satisfied for some game day snacking!

    Wow wow wow! So many recipes. They crashed my computer! I'm not a sports fan, but I go to sports parties for the food. Feed me this. Feed me all of it (plus it's a nice counterpoint to your New Year healthy recipes ;-))
