Make a menu of easy to eat foods. Finger foods are your best choice because people will be eating while watching the game. Think shrimp cocktail, potato skins and jalapeno poppers.

2
Make chicken wings. No Super Bowl party is complete without chicken wings. Make one spicy variety like buffalo wings and one non-spicy variety, like barbeque.

Have chips and dip. Go beyond the normal storebought dips and make a hearty seven-layer dip or an easy-to-make guacamole.

Shop the week before. Grocery stores are a madhouse the day before the Super Bowl. Shopping the week before will also prevent you from having to rush out at the last minute for a forgotten item.

Check your list for things you can prepare a couple of days in advance. If you are serving a vegetable platter with dip for example, you can chop all of the vegetables and store them in the refrigerator until game day.

Make the rest of the food the day before. For foods that have to be cooked at the last minute, you can mix the ingredients together and store in your refrigerator. All you will have to do on game day is pop it in the oven or the crockpot.

Tips & Warnings
Store vegetables in water. Fill a plastic container with water and store vegetables to store vegetables, like celery and carrots, to prevent them from drying out.
Buy prepackaged food. If meatballs are a favorite, buy them pre-cooked and pre-made from you local grocery store.
Don't skimp. Be sure to buy enough food for everyone and a little extra so you don't run out.
Refrigerate leftovers as soon as possible. This will prevent any food from spoiling. If you made anything that is mayonnaise-based, put in the refrigerator after about an hour of sitting out to be safe.
Don't cross-contaminate. Don't use the same utensils or cutting boards for meat as you do for raw foods, such as vegetables, and always wash you hands thoroughly after handling raw meat.
