Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Vanessa M.: This is a fun recipe for kids to help make, as it involves cooking with soda! The sweet root beer gives this pulled pork a depth of flavor you just don't get with other recipes.
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip
This crowd-favorite crockpot chicken recipe makes a creamy and cheesy buffalo dip that is perfect for a party, game watch, or just a fun dinner!
Guacamole
Alexandra F.: This is, without a doubt, the best guacamole I have ever tried - and I eat guacamole frequently and any chance I get. I never think twice about what to bring as my side dish for a cookout or party anymore because it's always this. And it is ALWAYS a hit, and one of the first things to get eaten up. Put plastic wrap directly on top of the guacamole when you cover it to minimize air coming in contact and turning it brown before you get to the party. Bring a bag of tortilla chips, too, and get ready for the compliments to roll in!
Caramel Apple Dip
Kelly R: We brought this dip to a game watch potluck and one of the adults said it is the second best thing he has ever eaten. Ever!! It is so ridiculously easy to make, this is going to be my new go-to.
Classic Pigs in a Blanket
Pigs in a blanket are a crowd favorite for Super Bowl food, parties, a family dinner, or an after school snack! For this quick and easy hot dog recipe, all you need is a pack of hot dogs, some crescent dough, and maybe a sprinkle of poppy seeds (if you're feeling fancy).
Pepperoni Bread
Kelly R: My family loves this spin on pepperoni pizza, the ultimate picky eater dinner favorite! It's very dunkable, so we serve it with plenty of marinara sauce. I always use pizza dough instead of the frozen bread dough the recipe calls for.
Easy Ham & Cheese Sliders
These baked Hawaiian roll sliders are a crowd-pleasing easy family dinner that can be customized based on the whims of your picky eater, or whatever you happen to have on hand.
Walking Taco Casserole
This kid-friendly casserole layers seasoned ground beef and beans under corn chips and cheese, and bakes it to melty perfection. It's a fun twist on classic walking tacos, perfect for a crowd.
1-2-3 Mexican Dip
A little easier than 7-layer dip and just as delicious, this is the perfect make-ahead Super Bowl food for the family.
Easy Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites
If your kids love soft pretzels, this is a very manageable recipe that's fun to make together. The small nugget size makes them a fun finger food for a game watch or gathering.
Glazed Kielbasa Bites
Sweet and salty kielbasa bites appeal to kids and adults, and are a very easy holiday, party or Super Bowl appetizer.
