For many, the Super Bowl is an ending to a full season of football and a time to crown a champion. For others, it’s a day to eat and watch fun commercials. Either way, people love to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday with good food.
Here are some interesting Super Bowl food facts:
• The Super Bowl is the second largest US food consumption day, only surpassed by Thanksgiving.
• More than 1.5 billion wings will be consumed on Super Bowl weekend, according to the National Chicken Council.
• The Super Bowl is the busiest day of the year for pizza restaurants, according to the National Restaurant Association.
• Wings and pizza are the most popular snacks, but potato chips are close behind. More than 11.2 million pounds of potato chips are expected to be consumed.
Spicy Beer Cheese Dip
I’m not sure who figured out that beer and cheese worked well together, but thank goodness they did and this dip is a celebration for your taste buds!
White Bean Dip with Toasted Pita
Most bean dips are made from black or refried beans. This one will certainly have a different flavor.
Hot Wings Dip
Well, It is Super Bowl Sunday so hot wings just make sense.
Mango Salsa
Mango is one of my favorite flavors. This salsa will give a little zest and uniqueness to your other foods.
Savory Asiago and Blue Cheesecake Spread
Ok, confession time. I’m not a huge fan of asiago or blue cheese, but I know a lot of people who are so this recipe is for you!
