Best Dishes to Serve at a Festive Football Party
Enjoy two delicious and satisfying, easy-to-make recipes, Classic Super Bowl Chili and Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches at Super Bowl parties this year.
Late January is the time of year when football fans put on their thinking caps and plan a super buffet to serve to their friends and family as they take in one of America's most exciting sporting events, the Super Bowl.
Classic Super Bowl Chili
Classic Super Bowl Chili is cooked in a slow cooker. This chili tastes terrific when served with white or blue corn tortilla chips or crusty bread rolls for dipping. This chili recipe is easily doubled. If party hosts don’t have a slow cooker or if the slow cooker is too small to double the recipe, a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot will serve well as a substitute.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can of diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1 mild, medium or hot chili spice packet such as Clubhouse Chili Seasoning Mix
- 1 bay leaf
Directions
- Over medium heat, brown the ground beef in a medium frying pan until the meat is no longer pink. Add to slow cooker.
- Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper to the slow cooker. When handling jalapeno peppers, a cook should avoid touching his or her face, especially around the eyes. Hands should be washed thoroughly with soap and water before continuing on to the next step of the recipe.
- Add beans and tomatoes to the slow cooker, along with the chili spice packet and bay leaf. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for 4 to 5 hours on high heat or 8 to 9 hours on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Serve Classic Super Bowl Chili on the Super Bowl party buffet table, accompanied by tortilla chips or buns, as well as a dish of guacamole, shredded cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, diced green onions and sour cream.
Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Eliminate the extra fat found in deep-friend chicken wings but keep all the flavor in these delicious Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches. Make sure to select breaded chicken with a crispy outer coating that will best resemble the unmistakable flavor of Buffalo chicken wings!
Ingredients
- Breaded chicken breasts or chicken tenders, white breast meat
- Fresh, crusty kaiser rolls
- Blue cheese salad dressing
- Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce
- Lettuce, torn

Directions
