Anyone can put out chips and dip, but if you’re planning on hosting a Super Bowl party, now’s the time to think a little bigger. Throw on your apron: We’ve got the recipes to put together the ultimate Super Bowl spread.

What’s on the menu? A little something for everyone. As your guests arrive, have lots of cold sodas and beer at the ready, then set out a tray of icy kamikazes to get the party started. A hollowed-out pineapple filled with fresh salsa beckons, as does a display of sweet shrimp paired with two flavorful sauces.

Ready for something a little more substantial? How about a plate of tangy meatballs, or a pile of fiery Buffalo wings. Your guests can pile their plates high and enjoy the first half. When Madonna starts to belt out her halftime show, it’s time for the main event: pulled pork sandwiches and hearty vegetarian chili.

And don’t let the game end without dessert. No matter how your favorite team performs, decadent brownies layered with creamy cheesecake will keep the crowd happy.
