Looking for game-day food that will sustain your guests through four nail-biting quarters of blood, sweat and tears? Graduate from rookie status and grab some of that gridiron glory by kicking off your party with some undefeated dips, wings, potato skins, nachos and filling appetizers. When half-time hits, serve up some winning ribs, chili dogs, burgers and sandwiches and you'll be on your way to grabbing that MVP title. As the game is winding down, put out a platter of homemade cookies, brownies or Fabulous Filbert Football Cookies and that induction to the entertaining hall of fame will be guaranteed.

Premium members can create a custom menu with just the right Super Bowl recipes, servings and shopping list all in one spot — you'll tackle that trip to the store with ease. But even if you aren't a premium member, you can still use other members' menus as a jumping-off point. Browse through our champion Super Bowl and Football Menus and your game-day spread will be shape up with plenty of time left on the clock.

Winning Wings

Best-Ever Sticky Wings "This has become my #1 wings recipe — love 'em! I serve these as a main course, but I think they'd be great to serve as a snack or appetizer, or to take to a potluck."-- Lennie

Carolyn's Favorite Hot Wings "Someone asked me the other day how I made hot wings. Didn't have a printed recipe, just always did the same sort of stuff. Had to sit down and work it out. Here's the recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do."-- Mysterygirl

Lime Apricot Soy Wings "The lime is a refreshing change — with a garlic kick! I have made this many times and had great response to it."-- Tish

Hearty Heroes and Sandwiches

Steelers Game-Day Sausage "Sausage stacked with peppers, onions and sauce, on a great Mancini's Italian sausage bun. When the sauce starts to drip down your chin, the bun can work as a sponge so you don't lose a drop!"-- Lainey6605

Kittencal's Meatball Sandwich "This is the perfect sandwich for football weekends. To save some time you can bake the meatballs up to a day ahead."-- KITTENCAL

Touchdown Tortas With Chipotle Mayonnaise "Tortas are zesty Mexican sandwiches made with crusty, torpedo-shaped rolls called bolillos. To make this simple use the store-bought roasted chickens."-- ~Rita~

Mike Ditka's Tailgate Pork Sandwich "I confess I've left the pork in the marinade for up to a couple of days and I think it tastes even better. And the Orange Aioli is to die for and in fact tastes good as a chicken sandwich dressing. All in all, it's a great sandwich and very easy!"-- EdsGirlAngie
