One of the most critical elements of a properly planned Super Bowl party is preparing a hearty dish to keep your rowdy guests at bay. Cheering for your team can take a lot of energy so you’ll probably need something with a lot of calories to keep you going. Also, if you’re hosting a party, it’s probably best to keep your guests weighed down with dip, rather then jumping off the walls in excitement.
Here are our recommondations for devastatingly good Super Bowl food. Start out with Matt Hill's Seven Layer Bean Dip, move onto Bill Puder of Fareground's Spicy Barbecued Ribs, and wash it all down with refreshing Cisco Brew.
