If you host a Super Bowl party this Sunday, you may already be planning the menu. A new Wells Fargo report found that a Super Bowl party this year will cost about $139 for 10 people. So to keep your budget, you need to plan on using cheap ingredients and simple recipes. For example, you may want to avoid certain Super Bowl Sunday foods, such as eggs, because eggs are expensive now. Here we will provide you with 9 Super Bowl Sunday Food ideas that are both cheap and delicious.
1. Pig in the blanket
You don’t need to buy expensive frozen appetizers. The pig in the blanket makes it easy for you to make yourself. Check out this Walmart Game Day event bundle for just $8 per person. You will get Lil’Skimies and Crescent rolls, pigs in the blanket, as well as Tositos fries, Mac and cheese, etc.
2. Mac and cheese bites
With the recipe for Mac and Cheese Bites, you will take a delicious Mac and cheese and then make it into finger food. If you don’t want to make your homemade Mac & Cheese, you can use boxed Mac and cheese. These bites are cost-effective and completely customizable, just put in your favorite toppings and you can even make spicy tomato sauce for dipping.
3. Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Another simple game day food is the classic spinach and artichoke dip. To cut costs, you can use frozen canned spinach and artichokes. Just make sure to dry the frozen spinach before baking the dip.
4. Buffalo Chicken Dipping Sauce
There is no mistake in the warm buffalo chicken dip. This buffalo chicken dip is best served with Frito corn flakes. A simple shortcut, cost-effective for buffalo chicken dip, is to use pre-made barbecue chicken and chop it up.
5. Bake potatoes
A fun interactive idea for Super Bowl Sunday Food is a bar filled with baked potatoes. Potatoes are not only filled, but they are cheap! You can choose toppings such as bacon slices, cheese, sour cream, green onions, olives, and more. You can even fuse broccoli together and the price drops by 7%. Simply prepare some baked potatoes in the oven or fryer and have your guests assemble their own.
6. Crispy Buffalo Broccoli Wings
As the cost of chicken wings increases, why not make a vegetarian meal? These crispy buffalo broccoli wings are sure to be a delight for everyone. This recipe is also gluten-free and is vegan if your guests have dietary restrictions. Feel free to replace these ingredients if the grocery store is cheaper, if dairy or plain flour and bread crumbs are cheaper. For the Kansas City twist, use BBQ sauce instead of buffalo sauce.
7. Stuffed with celery
Celery is often overlooked Super Bowl food and is considered only as a side dish for wings. But what if we told you that celery might be the star ingredient for your party? Since the cost of celery is down by 8%, consider making wise budget-friendly food. This stuffed celery appetizer is similar to the jalapeno appetizer, but it costs less. Plus, they can be made in advance.
8. White bean dipping sauce
Another way to save money is to use something in your pantry. This white bean dip uses beans you probably already have. Drain two cans of Cannellini or Northern Beans and rinse them. Process three cloves of peeled garlic, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 lemon juice and 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley in a food processor or blender. This dip should be smooth and best served with pita chips.
9. Philadelphia Cheese Steak Slider
If you’re cheering for the Eagles, Philly Cheesesteaks are essential for your Super Bowl. To save money on steak, you can afford to steak with a skirt. This pioneer woman’s recipe is delicious.
