Feeding a Super Bowl Crowd
With the Super Bowl just a few weeks away, have you decided what to serve the crowds of screaming football fans that will be invading your home? Do yourself a favor and keep it simple. No one will want to leave the game for a formal meal. Just give them snacks they can enjoy while they watch the game.
Set up your buffet table near enough to the television that no one will miss an exciting play. Hot food is perfect in the cold weather of February, so use your crock pots. Use crock pots to make pulled pork, chili, or stew. Swedish meatballs are simple to make in a crock pot. Set out a box of toothpicks and your guests can help themselves. You may want to make a pan of lasagna or a pot of spaghetti. Both can be assembled ahead of time and cooked quickly just before everyone arrives. Set the pans out on the buffet and let everyone dish up themselves. Buffalo chicken wings are easy to make ahead of time and reheat.
Serve plenty of chips and dip. Pour your favorite salsa over a block of cream cheese and set it out with some tortilla chips. Make deli sandwiches using French bread, baguettes or artisan loaves. Fill them with cold cuts and wrap them up for the fridge. Cut and serve whenever the table begins to look bare.
If you made that crock pot of chili or stew, serve it with hollowed out bread bowls. Your guests can eat the bowl as well as the main dish. Hot dogs or baked potatoes are easy. Cook a bunch and let your guests top them with their choice of condiments and toppings.
An appetizer only party is a great way to open up your options for food. You can serve everything from simple crackers and toppings to fancy appetizers like rumaki. It is completely up to you. Football fans will love anything wrapped in bacon. Try cooking cheese, shrimp, or sausage wrapped in bacon and served on a toothpick. While it probably will not be ht healthiest option, it will sure taste good!
Provide your thirsty guests with plenty to drink. Keep a cooler of beer and soda on hand to quench that thirst that occurs from screaming at the television during extremely good or bad plays. Stock up on several varieties so everyone can enjoy their favorites. Keep them chilled on ice in a few coolers near the food table.
When you serve up Superbowl party food, your guests will be happy as long as there is plenty of great tasting dishes. Be sure to spread your food across the course of the afternoon. Running out of food before halftime would be a disaster! Timing when to set out different foods will make your guests very happy.
Your Superbowl party will be a success as long as you feed your guests some great food and your television reception is good. Everyone will have a great time, including you.
