Super Bowl Recipes: Food Is The Most Important Part Of The Big Game

The Super Bowl is not about football. Sure, it's framed around a football game between two teams, neither of which is likely to be your team, but the game is not why Americans love Super Bowl Sunday. We love it because it's an excuse to gather with friends, drink beer, and eat food. Mostly the food part. Which is why we've decided to present to you, the food and football loving American, a running list of our favorite Super Bowl recipes.

We will be updating this StoryStream throughout the week with various ways to stuff your face on Sunday. Most of these recipes will be fairly simple concoctions that even the most amateur of gameday cooks can throw together. Hopefully they're one step up from buying a jar of salsa and a bag of tortilla chips.

As for the beer part, you're on your own. But if you wanna keep things festive, might we recommend anything from Victory Brewing (Pennsylvania) or this tiny micro brewery in Wisconsin called "Miller." We hear they make a fine beer-champagne.
