15 Dishes You Have To Make For Super Bowl 50
The fiftieth anniversary of the Super Bowl is quickly approaching, and we can't wait for this year's game. Maybe it's because this is the most anticipated football game of the year, or maybe it's because we've created a menu of mouth-watering game day dishes to cook for the big game, which takes place this year on February 7.
Avocado Chipotle Chicken Wings
These chicken wings use creamy avocados and flavorful cilantro to create a crispy, Mexican-inspired finger food. Use the extra avocado and cilantro to make guacamole to snack on while you watch the game.
Beer-Battered Chicken Bites with BBQ Sauce
Beer and fried chicken sounds like a recipe for an awesome game day. A cup of Guinness Draught gives these chicken bites that dark beer flavor we love, making these the perfect finger foods for the Super Bowl.

Big Game Baby Back Ribs
These ribs are rubbed with a wide range of spices including Spanish paprika, ancho chile powder, dark brown sugar, and garlic to create a spicy, yet sweet dish that is topped off with barbecue sauce for a fantastic Super Bowl dinner.
Buffalo Mac n' Cheese
Three cheeses and a kick of spice give this comfort favorite a whole new story. For the ultimate trio, combine any two sharp cheeses, in this instance, two bold Irish Cheddars, with a smoother Gouda. When blended together, they make for a creamy, cheesy, spicy dream — one spoonful will just not do the trick. — Francesca Borgognone
Corned Beef Egg Rolls
If you want to make something more impressive, try these corn beef and cabbage-filled egg rolls! These are deep fried and full of meat, so you are still getting those game-day flavors you love while presenting something more aesthetically pleasing than a greasy, falling-apart sandwich.
Creamy Buffalo Wings
These spicy wings are glazed with Worcestershire sauce and horseradish to make a spicy, tangy sauce that you won't be able to get enough of. These deep-fried wings will turn out crispy and juicy, with a spicy kick packed into each bite.
Hearty Halftime Chili
What better dish to serve at halftime than hearty halftime chili? Made in less than 40 minutes, this simple chili recipe combines ground beef with tomato sauce, zucchini, kale, corn, and beans for a filling meal.
Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders
Forget the honey mustard dipping sauce and coat your chicken in honey mustard pretzels instead! The crust has sweet flavors that balance out the salty and juicy fried chicken.
Hushpuppies
These southern deep-fried cornmeal cakes have beer in them which gives the interior a lighter bite. Hushpuppies make fantastic finger foods to snack on while you're engrossed in the football game and you can serve them with an array of dipping sauces, like honey mustard or smoky barbecue sauce.

Pulled Pork Sandwich
