No matter how much you love your favorite football team, odds are you love game days for another reason – the food. Watching the game is the perfect excuse to chow down on guilty pleasures and enjoy yourself. There are so many appetizers out there that you just couldn’t try them all if you only ate them before big meals. At a game day party, you can serve lots of creative, easy appetizer recipes and have some fun making them, too.
We asked our team for their favorite game day snacks, and the results were pretty exciting. Spinach Artichoke Dip and Bacon Jalepeno Popper Dip are big hits with us. Also, maybe this goes without saying, but ANYTHING wrapped in bacon will excite a crowd. People love their bacon, these days. Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts are an interesting option, and they’ll be gone in minutes.
Trends for easy appetizer recipes this year include plenty of dips and pull-apart bread recipes. It doesn’t get much easier than these kinds of appetizers, and you can prepare them well in advance of the game. But never forget the original trendsetter: meatballs.
We gathered our top Editor Picks for the best game day appetizers you’ll make this year.

Ever since I had foot recontructive surgery, I’ve been online more & layed off, so I search for recipes that are easy & for the slow cooker. My wife has 2 jobs & my mother in-law lives with us so I put on my big boy apron & started to cook again. So all these sites have been very helpful & everyone gets fed, so thanks everyone out there putting your recipes online!
Superbowl season is in full effect and these recipes are a touchdown! I’m in love with the baked zucchini bites – such a perfect way to indulge in a tailgating treat without ruining my New Year’s diet goals.
Thanks so much for the great game day recipes!
I’ve never seen a crab rangoon recipe posted before and had never thought to make it! Also as someone who likes a little spice in their mac&cheese adding Mexican seasoning is brilliant. Really great tips and I’m excited to try them out for Superbowl Sunday!
It would be great if there was more photos or what part of the team made these great recipes available to us. This would be a great shout out to team members and a good way for users to know who the team is.
