Want to host a Superbowl party but don’t have time or inclination to prep, cook, and decorate? While Pinterest is so great for so many reasons, sometimes it can make us feel inadequate when it comes to entertaining. Here’s our recommendation: keep it simple and fill the fridge with a fun assortment of beer, cook up a big pot of chili as the main attraction, and add in a couple of easy munchies. Here are a few Superbowl Party Hacks to make your gathering special, with little effort, and a superb chili recipe.
Grocery store flowers arranged around a football create a fun, simple centerpiece.
Devil up some eggs, and garnish with chives. Voila: Football Devils.
- Football Devils
- 6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper Cut eggs lengthwise in half. Slip out yolks and mash with fork. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Fill whites with egg yolk mixture, heaping it lightly. Garnish with chives to create football “laces.” Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
Here’s a doctored-up store-bought cheeseball football.
So, you must be starting to get the picture. Add laces to about anything round-ish or oval-ish and it becomes a football. Regular store bought ice cream sandwiches become instant Super Bowl desserts.
