For game day party planning, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re rooting for the home team or just in it for the snacks, we suggest going big this year, and by that we mean big-batch Super Bowl recipes that will feed a crowd. There’s always a place for finger food, and you’ll need some of that, too. But making one or two large-format dishes, whether it’s touchdown-worthy chili or chicken soup, will make cooking up a Super Bowl menu quick and easy. And what does that mean for you? More time to spend in front of the TV, analyzing every play of the game—or the commercials.
