20 Insanely Good Super Bowl Appetizers
1) Taco Pizzas (Living Well Mom)
Well I have a confession to make first.
I have to admit that my very first ideas about the perfect Super Bowl appetizers definitely contained pizza, and tacos. What else. But have you ever thought of combining the two? No?
Well then here is an awesome appetizer idea for you to try out: these lavish taco pizzas by the very talented Erika: food blogger and mom of four behind Living Well Mom. And I don’t need a glass ball to know that you are going to like them.
Taco Pizzas
Just one look at the ingredients list makes me salivate instantly: crescent roll dough, sour cream, ground beef, cheddar cheese, taco seasoning…
Oh my goodness, do you want me to go on? I think you got the picture right there. Definitely one of my favorite Super Bowl appetizers this year!
Thank you so much Erika!
2) Chili Lime Baked Chicken Wings (A Spicy Perspective)
And if you say, pizza and tacos!
Then obviously chicken drumsticks or chicken wings also follow. That is for a fact. And when I am going to throw a good old fashioned game night party, then I want some ssssspicy food to be there as well. Goes also very well with a cold crisp beer, needless to say!
That is why I love to make these delicious baked chili chicken wings with lime by Sommer Collier, behind the gorgeous recipe website called A Spicy Perspective.
Chicken Wings
What I love the most about these wings?
The heat coming from the chili. And what I also adore: that dark brown sear on those wings because the honey marinade starts to caramelise. At first I thought that they were grilled on a barbecue! No, these lovely chicken wings are baked in the oven. Sounds like a home run to me already! Yummers.
Thank you so much Sommer!
3) Bacon Brie & Cranberry Sliders (The Brewer & The Baker)
God almighty, this Super Bowl appetizers article is getting funkier by the minute!
And it is making me hungrier by the second also. It is a couple of hours still until dinner while I am writing this. Sure I won’t make it unharmed until then without a snack now.
Whatcha think of these superb looking sliders! Well I love burgers, and for that reason these mini versions are always a hit. Especially the classic cheese burger sliders.
Sliders
But this time I thought I would look for a foxy alternative.
And I found them: look at these bacon and brie sliders with cranberry sauce! Credits for this beauty go to Shawnda and Jason behind The Brewer & The Baker. Just look at that melted brie cheese running down that crisp bacon… Perfection.
Dig in, I can’t wait to try these out.
Thank you so much Shawnda and Jason!
4) Cheesy Dijon Sausage Cups (Melissa’s Southern Style Kitchen)
Of course my list of Super Bowl appetizers has to include an appetizer by Melissa Sperka!
She is one of the food blogger I follow very closely. Why? Because all the recipes she shares with lucky us are in one word fantastic.
Check her foodie website right now, you will thank me later: Melissa’s Southern Style Kitchen.
OK, back to our Super Bowl appetizers for now.
Sausage Cups
Here is a crunchy appetizer you certainly don’t want to miss out on: Melissa’s cheesy dijon sausage cups! I love the use of wonton wrappers here to make the crunchy cups: see how gorgeous they come out of that muffin tin in the end!
Great idea by the way, to use that as a mould to make the cups. Just fill them up with some breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mustard and chives. Excellent. What a gorgeous looking Super Bowl appetizers!
Thank you so much Melissa, as always.
5) Thai Fish Cakes (June d’Arville)
Maybe you are looking for a different bit, something more exotic to lighten up the burgers, pizzas and sausages?
Then I just have what you are looking for: my Thai fish cakes!
These fish cakes are easy and fast to prepare with almost any type of fish you like. Plus they are salty, spicy and zesty. I just love that touch of the fresh ginger and red curry paste here.
Red Curry Paste
And I can put your mind at easy right away: yes, these Thai fish cakes taste sublime in combination with that chilled beer you’re holding in your hand there!
Here is a little idea if you need more inspiration: you can also make fish balls of this Asian fish batter instead of the patties or cakes like I prepared. And serve the fish balls with a couple of skewers on the side. They will surely look cute.
Enjoy.
6) Baked Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges (Le Creme de la Crumb)
Hey let’s not forget the carbs here!
I am a huge fan of fries, but I feel the same way about potato wedges. Who doesn’t love potato wedges!
And I find just what I need right here: these garlic and parmesan cheese baked potato wedges are to die for. No doubt about that.
Blue Cheese Dip
I found this awesome recipe at Le Creme de la Crumb, a foodie website run by photographer, cook, mom and semi professional taco eater Tiffany.
I just love that description.
She suggests a blue cheese dressing dipping sauce with freshly chopped parsley for these potato wedges and that sounds like music to my ears. I wouldn’t mind serving these wedges as a side for a juicy steak in the very near future.
Oh and by the way, did you realise that this recipe is a great vegetarian super bowl appetizers! Booyah!
Thank you so much Tiffany!
7) Sweet & Spicy Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots (The Cookie Rookie)
Well I have served the classic bacon wrapped dates before as an appetizer on dinner parties.
But I was sure that there were also lots of alternatives that taste just as good. What do you think about these sweet and spicy bacon wrapped tater tots by Becky Hardin!
I visit Becky’s website The Cookie Rookie quite a lot. She has got some very creative recipe ideas up her sleeve. Plus her website looks just stunning, worth checking out!
Bacon
Back to these bacon wrapped tater tots again: they are very easy and fast to prepare.
And it sounds like a fun recipe to make with kids! I also like the simple sugar and cayenne pepper seasoning, I am sure that it is a great match for the bacon.
Lovely with a mayo or ketchup dipping sauce I reckon.
Thank you so much Becky for these super bowl appetizers ideas!
8) Teriyaki Meatballs Super Bowl Appetizers (Mom On Time Out)
A roundup of delicious Super Bowl appetizers without mentioning meatballs?
Not happening. I love a good classic meatball for appetizers, with a simple mustard or caesar dressing dipping sauce.
But I thought I should come out of my comfort zone and find a great meatball appetizer recipe with a twist… An Asian twist if possible!
Asian Twist
These teriyaki meatballs here are right up my alley!
I found them at Mom On Time Out, the recipe website of Trish Rosenquist. She makes the meatballs from scratch, bakes them in the oven and then tosses them in extra teriyaki sauce.
Put them on a plate, put a skewer in them and sprinkle with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds. How cute these meatballs look!
And I am glad to say that I did try this recipe (you can find my version here) and I loved it.
Thank you so much Trish!
9) Soft Tacos with Tuna & Pico De Gallo Salsa (June d’Arville)
One hour is all it takes to bake and stuff these homemade soft tacos!
Fill them up with tuna, avocado and pico de gallo salsa… Yum! It looks way more complicated than it is. Make the dough, assemble the tuna and tomato salads, roll out the dough and bake the tacos.
Easy one.
I really thought I would need much more time because this recipe looks far more difficult. You can make whatever salads you want, even go vegetarian.
Super Bowl Appetizers
Love to serve these as a good appetizer bite but it is also a great dinner idea if you got some guests. You can prepare the tacos and the different toppings all in advance and everyone is free to assemble the tacos the way they like.
Great party food for hungry tummies!
10) Chinatown Ribs (Great Eight Friends)
Ribs, glorious ribs!
How awesome is it to nibble on some ribs to get as much meat off that bone as possible. And sure ribs go very well with a good chilled beer.
What marinade do you prefer when you prepare or order ribs?
Rib Marinade
I like a sticky sweet one.
And that is exactly what I find in these Chinatown ribs over at Great Eight Friends! This website is run by a group of 8 foodie friends, love their story about how cooking brought them together!
Look at the ingredients list: hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, hot sauce, Chinese five spice. Love every single flavor.
I can definitely see them come together for these ribs! So instead of prepping ribs for dinner, why not slice them up and serve them as a little caveman style appetizer!
These will rock on you Super Bowl appetizers party…
Thank you so much for the inspiration!
11) Grilled Veggie Skewers with Chimichurri Sauce (Minimalist Baker)
Do you feel like you need a break from the abundance of meat I just suggested?
I can definitely understand that.
Well have I got good news for you! Because here is a delicious eye catcher you are most certainly going to adore, and so will you guests and party friends!
Break
I am talking about these very colorful grilled veggie skewers drizzled with chimichurri sauce.
Credits for this work of art go to Dana who is behind Minimalist Baker. I love the mix of colourful vegetables here: sweet potato, bell peppers, red onion, portobello mushrooms and fresh corn.
I would make these skewers a little smaller as an appetizer. Dana suggests to serve them with a fresh chimichurri sauce or a barbecue sauce.
I am all ears.
Thank you so much Dana for these super bowl appetizers ideas!
12) Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms (Basil And Bubbly)
Who doesn’t love stuffed mushrooms.
I like to serve them as an appetizer. Stuffed mushrooms are very easy to make ahead of time and all you have to do once your guests arrive, is pop them in a hot oven and that is really it.
You can add just any stuffing you want.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Which also makes these a great vegetarian appetizer if you want to keep it veggie. However I wanted some ballsy flavors this time like the classic bacon and cheese. And that is what I get with these bacon stuffed mushrooms by Marianne behind Basil And Bubbly.
Mushrooms, cream cheese, crunchy crisp bacon and parmesan cheese. You got a deal. Rich, decadent and creamy: my kind of appetizer!
Thank you so much Marianne!
13) Spinach & Artichoke Dip Party Squares (The Kitchen is My Playground)
Well we all know how delicious a spinach and artichoke dip can be!
Have you ever prepared one before?
You should, I love it! Here’s a highly creative twist though on that classic that caught my eye… Look at these spinach and artichoke dip party squares!
I found this recipe at The Kitchen is My Playground, the recipe website of very talented food blogger Tracey Harrelson.
Artichokes
You might have a déjà-vu feeling here. These squares are also made with crescent roll dough, just like the taco pizza on top of this page. What an awesome idea!
Other ingredients for the dip: artichoke hearts, spinach, water chestnuts, mayo, sour cream and grated cheese. Definitely nothing there that me or my guests won’t like, these squares really intrigue me!
Thanks a ton Tracey for the inspiration!
14) Easy One Pot Game Day Chili (Pass Me Some Tasty)
Your Super Bowl appetizers don’t always have to wait for takers on a table or kitchen counter.
Why not keep a pan of simmering stewing hot goodies on the stove? Something that can stand hours of cooking and tastes even better they after! I can hear yet another great make ahead recipe coming up…
Allow me to introduce this easy one pot game day chili by Shannon, gluten-free recipe maker, photo taker and food blogger behind Pass Me Some Tasty.
Comfort Food
This chili has it all: ground beef, beans, tomatoes and a bunch of spices.
I really like the idea of adding pumpkin here! Get that picture? A large pot of this chunky chili on the stove all day and everyone just scoops a portion of chili in a big bowl whenever they feel like it.
Yes indeed. That is an awesome idea.
Thank you so much Shannon!
15) Beef Tenderloin Wraps (Use Real Butter)
I love food.
And one of my all time favorites is a good old steak. So I started thinking about a funky Super Bowl appetizer with cold steak. I would usually go for an Italian classic called vitello tonnato but then with steak.
The only problem here is that the tuna sauce might dry out while it sits on your dinner table or kitchen counter for too long.
Steak Appetizer
But guess what. Problem solved, since I stumbled upon this heavenly beauty. Beef tenderloin wraps with hoisin sauce and spring onion by Use Real Butter! Credits behind this website and recipe go to Jennifer Yu, a freelance nature and food photographer.
You will love these wraps. They are a great Super Bowl appetizers but I can also see them on one of my summer garden parties next July!
Check out this recipe, a perfect make ahead appetizer!
Thank you so much Jennifer!
16) Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups with creamy Lemon Dill Spread (Chew Out Loud)
Need a break again from the stack of meat I just summed up?
I can absolutely understand that. Well I got news for you! Because here is yet another delicious eye catcher you are most certainly going to adore, and so will you guests and party friends!
No meat this time but smoked salmon, crowd pleaser number one! I am talking about these very pretty smoked salmon roll-ups with a creamy lemon dill spread.
Smoked Salmon
I found this recipe over at Chew Out Loud, the website of Amy and her husband!
Main ingredients you need for these lovely roll-ups: cream cheese, dill, spinach, smoked salmon and tortilla wraps.
Cool thing is: one of my friends is gluten intolerant so I can make this one gluten free by using gluten free tortillas! Awesome, she will adore these smoked salmon bites.
Thank you so much guys!
17) Deep Fried Nacho Shrimp (Super Bowl Appetizers)
Here is a super bowl appetizers that you have to make on the spot. A la minute like the French say: my crispy crunchy deep fried shrimp with ketchup!
I simply love that chunky crisp coat on those shrimp. My secret? Use crumbled nachos instead of breadcrumbs or panko!
And believe me, it works like a charm.
Panko
The shrimp are so delicious. They don’t need a lot of cooking, a handful of minutes is all you need. And that is why these shrimp are still very juicy and moist on the inside. Crunchy on the outside.
Need I say more? Delicious!
You will adore these deep fried shrimp. Serve with the dipping sauce you like, I like these shrimp simply with ketchup on the side.
Dig in…
18) Melted Mozzarella Caprese Crostini Toasts (Foodie Crush)
Tomato and mozzarella.
I am sure that you love this combo as much as I do! No salad this time but cute little crostini toasts: check out these adorable melted mozzarella caprese crostini toasts by Foodie Crush! Foodie and blogger Heidi is behind this gorgeous bite.
Italian
It has got everything that I love: cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella cheese, prosciutto and balsamic glaze.
Divide the cheese and tomatoes over sliced French baguette, grill until the mozzarella has melted and then garnish the crostini toasts with the remaining prosciutto, basil and balsamic glaze.
How great does that sound! Lovely Super Bowl appetizers idea…
Thank you so much Heidi!
19) Fried Ravioli (Lil’ Luna)
Here as another on the spot super bowl appetizers, straight from the deep fryer.
Fried ravioli!
I have stumbled upon this appetizer idea before but I actually never prepared it. This fried ravioli recipe by Lil’ Luna is right up my alley and I also have to try this one out next time.
Credits go to mom of six Kristyn!
Breadcrumbs
It is quite a straight forward super bowl appetizers recipe: the ingredients you need are store bought ravioli with filling of your choice, buttermilk, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
Coat the ravioli with the buttermilk and breadcrumbs, deep fry them and sprinkle the fried ravioli right before serving with grated cheese. Just lovely.
I would go for a lovely roasted tomato salsa as a dipping sauce for this one.
Thank you so much Kristyn!
20) Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Guacamole and Bacon (The Roasted Root)
I bet that you have been waiting to find guacamole somewhere in these Super Bowl appetizers, right!
Well here it is, and it’s far more than the classic guacamole dipping sauce and nachos we all know very well. Look at this beauty: roasted sweet potato rounds with guacamole and bacon. Sounds like I saved the best for last!
Bacon & Avocado
Credits for this recipe go to The Roasted Root and more specifically to Julia Mueller who is the recipe developer and photographer behind it all.
I love the idea of using sweet potato instead of bread or crostini. Very creative and it gives these bits a very rustic look.
And the guacamole and bacon on top? Needless to say that no one ever said no to that treat, right. What’s not to love.
Thank you so much Julia for these super bowl appetizers ideas!
Super Bowl Appetizers & Drinks!
So that was it!
My 20 favorite Super Bowl appetizers roundup. And I truly hope you enjoyed every single one of them. Well we got the food sorted out already. But what about Super Bowl drinks then?
I was going to include a couple of Super Bowl drinks but then I thought that the best companion for these Super Bowl appetizers would be a heavenly crisp beer.
Right?!
A lavish cold beer is I think the best drink to wash down all that ballsy pub grub food and Super Bowl appetizers you find below.
Just in case you want a couple of extra ideas, then check out these 9 Super Bowl drinks for beer haters! Cheers and enjoy the game…
