The 42nd Super Bowl hits primetime on February 3. Make sure you’re ready with some great snacks and drinks to enjoy while cheering on your favorite team. We have everything from the basics – chips, nuts, soda, beer – to more elaborate items for your spread, such as football cakes, cold cut platters, vegetable trays, breads, dips and salads.
You can also build a large sub sandwich to feed a crowd. Start with a loaf of French bread from the Bakery, pile it high with cold cuts and sliced cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and your favorite dressing. Cut it into slices and you’ll have a winner. Here are a few recipes for items that would also work well for a game-day buffet. Keep in mind, you can prepare hot dips in advance and bake them just before serving. Zesty Chili Dip Mix all ingredients in a 2-quart microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high 5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted, stirring after 3 minutes. Stir until well blended.
