Looking for Super Bowl Party Food Ideas to spice up the big game? Plan a Super Bowl Chili Cook-off armed with your very own prize winning chili recipe!
Everyone brings a chili they have made ahead of time, making your SuperBowl party food a breeze!
It
does, however, require a little forethought on the part of the host or hostess to have serving stations
with enough plugs for everyone's crock pot full of chili.
In my neighborhood, Super Bowl parties and Chili Cook-offs go hand and hand! Everyone plans ahead
to create the winning chili recipe. This includes not only great chili recipes, but cleverly naming your
chili and decorating your crock pot.
Tiffany, my friend and annual hostess of this event, prepares a few great Football Party Recipes and
simple side dishes such as cornbread, and cheese and cracker platters to go along with the chili.
She
has even purchased football trophies especially for the event. She glued chili peppers to the footballs and awards
theme each year to the winners of the cook off.
